During Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s Inside Politics, anchor Dana Bash sharply criticized President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles, comparing his actions to those of an arsonist trying to call in emergency help for a fire he helped ignite.
CNN’s chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju commented on the president’s handling of the situation: “Just to get the point of how much Donald Trump wants this fight, I mean, he’s been posting and talking about it pretty much nonstop over the weekend, including just moments ago saying if we had not done this, send the National Guard in Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated. Now, I’m not quite sure if that’s exactly the case of what people are saying on the ground here. But I mean, look, sending in the National Guard is just an extraordinary step for the federal government to do so. You can’t discount that.”
As Bash began to interject, Raju continued, “And he tried to do everything he can to defend the controversy.”
Bash responded, “I know that this is like he said, a promise that he gave on the campaign trail to do whatever he could to deport illegal immigrants. But what he just posted is, is basically, an arsonist saying, ‘You better call the fire department because they’ve got to come in fast to get the flames out.’ I mean, that seems like what’s going on.”

A group of 5 weirdos. I’m surprised that fish face wasn’t fired yet by CNN. Her ratings are in the toilet.
Sending in military was wrong.
Trump is a mashhogana
Agree. Just let these anarchists burn down the City and kill the cops.
Dana Ruth Schwartz, a nauseous Jew lib. Ugh.
Oh, so that’s where Trump was that morning – busy making fires in LA.
There was a guy out there all day putting Trump stickers on rioters’ cars. Then sitting back watching them destroy each other’s cars.
