Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco isn’t mincing words when it comes to Kamala Harris’ attempt to shift blame for the anti-ICE riots tearing through Southern California.

After Harris claimed President Trump was “promoting chaos” by deploying the National Guard to restore order in Los Angeles, Bianco hit back hard.

“President Trump didn’t start these riots,” Bianco posted on X. “He’s not out there lighting cars on fire, hurling projectiles at law enforcement, or blocking freeways. This statement is an embarrassment and does nothing to diffuse the violent riots taking place across the city.”

Bianco made it clear who’s responsible. “The Democrats and their leaders own this,” he said.

Harris’ statement refused to even call the violent uprising a riot. Instead, she referred to the destruction as simply “what’s unfolding in Los Angeles,” while claiming Trump’s decision to deploy troops was “a dangerous escalation.”

She insisted the president’s actions were “not about public safety” but about “stoking fear” in communities. Harris said the National Guard deployment was part of “a cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division.”

Rather than condemn the mob violence or attacks on police, Harris portrayed the demonstrators as peaceful activists. “Demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful,” she said—ignoring video footage showing rioters torching vehicles, throwing projectiles at law enforcement, and blocking the 101 Freeway.

RedState’s Nick Arama called out Harris for pretending the violence doesn’t exist. And Harris isn’t alone. California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have also blamed Trump for the unrest—even as their cities burn.

Newsom lashed out at Trump’s use of federal troops, accusing him of attempting to “take over” the California National Guard. He claimed it would “only escalate tensions” and declared, “This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.”

But the public’s trust is already eroding—thanks to weak leadership and officials who refuse to enforce the law.

Bianco’s blunt response stood in stark contrast to the political games being played by Harris and Newsom. While they try to defend so-called protestors, Trump and law enforcement are working to restore order to a city gripped by chaos.

“Send them back to where they came from,” one business owner in LA said of the rioters. “They are not from L.A.” His store had just been looted during the latest wave of violence.

The National Guard and Marines have already been deployed to assist federal and local officers in cracking down on the violence. And despite the noise from the left, President Trump isn’t backing down.

He lived through the “Summer of Love” in 2020 and saw firsthand what happens when Democrat-run cities refuse to control radical mobs. This time, he’s not letting it happen again.

The American people don’t want more excuses. They want law and order. And Trump’s administration is delivering—while the left’s leadership continues to collapse.
