Swalwell: Trump Saying that Los Angeles Is Burning Is ‘Offensive’
EXCERPT:
SWALWELL: "Lawrence, there are families who are still displaced and looking for permanent shelter in Los Angeles. So, yes, to say the city is burning is an insult. And by the way, Californians and Americans were promised that Donald Trump was going to go after the most violent criminals, and instead he deported a four-year-old American citizen battling cancer. They detained, over the weekend, a U.S. marshal, like, a U.S. citizen. That’s how far off they are in their aim to carry out this immigration policy, and that’s why people are so fired up, and that’s why they don’t trust them. And the price tag for this political stunt, we learned today in Congress from Secretary of Defense Hegseth, $134 million. Imagine what that money could do to help homeless Angelenos who suffered from the fires, what that could do to educate our kids, or what that could do to cure cancer. It’s all a farce. And that’s why the best approach here is to go on offense and not let Donald Trump define the battleground."
