Kamala Harris slammed by California sheriff for ‘embarrassing’ LA riots statement blaming Trump

A California sheriff has ripped Kamala Harris after the former vice president blamed President Trump for starting the anti-ICE protests that are wreaking havoc in Los Angeles.

“President Trump didn’t start these riots. He’s not out there lighting cars on fire, hurling projectiles at law enforcement or blocking freeways,” Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said in a post on X as he shared Harris’ remarks.

“This statement is an embarrassment and does nothing to diffuse the violent riots taking place across the city.”

“The Democrats and their ‘leaders’ own this,” he added.

Bianco, who is running for governor in 2026, lashed out Harris after she accused the Trump administration of “stoking fear” by opting to deploy the National Guard to quell the violence.

“Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city,” Harris said.

“Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos.”
