LA Mayor Garcetti: ‘I’m Glad’ President Trump Is Coming to Visit California

‘But we need much more help’

EXCERPT:

GARCETTI: “But I think leadership at the very top needs to be earlier, stronger. And from the President, I wish that we would get as much attention, not based on an electoral map, but just purely on being Americans, and the need for leadership to be from the White House for all of America, you know, whether it's twin hurricanes on the Gulf Coast or fires here on the West Coast. We're one nation. And, sometimes, looking at the leadership that comes out, it's easy to forget that. It's taken three weeks. I'm glad he's coming, but we need much more help. When we have firefighters dying on the line, and Washington refuses to help states and refuses to help local governments that are the first responders to emergencies like this, it's unconscionable.”
