Ed Morrissey: Democrats Let Their Revolution Flags Fly

One month ago, House Democrats started a melee at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Newark. That signaled radicals across the country to escalate, and Los Angeles agitators clearly got the message when ICE began enforcing the law in California.

Gavin Newsom and mayor Karen Bass refused to intervene to protect federal law enforcement officers when they came under attack. Bass declared “we will not stand for this” when those enforcement operations began. After two days of violence directed at ICE officials, Donald Trump ordered the National Guard to LA as protection for federal officers. Newsom then rallied Democrat governors to oppose the move and to stop ICE enforcement activities.

That’s nothing less than a full-party endorsement of riots and obstruction of law enforcement. Trump got elected in large part to enforce these laws across the country; the Democrat Party wants radicals to run riot in the streets to prevent the will of the voters from being fulfilled.

Let this serve as a warning in every election about the nature of Democrat leadership.
