(Townhall)—The unrest in Los Angeles over the weekend that Townhall has been covering has been made worse by the ineffectiveness of California Democrats, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass. Although an arrest for Newsom, something he actually dared Tom Homan to go about putting in motion, does not look to be on the table at this time, there’s nevertheless been calls for action to do with these Democrats. On Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) called for the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee to subpoena Newsom and Bass.
Moreno began his remarks by referring to the subcommittee hearing of the day, “Match Ready: Oversight of the Federal Government’s Border Management and Personnel Readiness Efforts for the Decade of Sports,” as being “extremely timely,” especially in light of how “it looks like law and order’s completely gone downhill in Los Angeles and throughout California.”
He also called out both Newsom and Bass, especially as they’ve both blamed the violence on having to do with deportations, which the senator wasn’t buying, offering that those reasons “obviously have nothing to do with why you you would go in and pillage a store or rob places.”
The concerns over such chaos in a major U.S. city are not only relevant as it applies to quelling violence and unrest over protecting law enforcement and the rule of law, but also when it comes to the events that LA will be hosting. “Moreno’s calls to subpoena Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass come as Los Angeles is set to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Summer Olympics,” a press release from the senator’s office pointed out.
