By M.D. Kittle<\/p>\n\n\n\n Americans know Dems own the chaos we\u2019re seeing on the streets of L.A., and the leftist insurrectionists are in \u2018need of some restraint.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1968, the Rolling Stones recorded \u201cSympathy for the Devil<\/a>,\u201d an homage to political violence. The song, now part of the classic rock Valhalla, included this bit of satanic verse: \u201cJust as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints.\u201d<\/a> It was an admonition for another unhinged time in the United States and much of the world, but the late \u201960s \u201cSympathy\u201d has in fact become the working anthem of the helter-skelter, Marxist-led Democrat Party of 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Losing badly in November on everything from the economy to national security to the culture war, Democrats have decided to double down on the very things that cost them power. In so doing, they have championed men in women\u2019s sports<\/a>, raised \u201cPride\u201d flags for perverts<\/a>, and vilified defenders of Jews<\/a> as fascists while spreading antisemitism and making common cause with those calling for \u201cdeath to Israel!\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The left\u2019s sympathy twist has been on full display in recent days on the streets of Los Angeles, in the governor\u2019s office in Sacramento, within a corporate media that\u2019s in an integrity death spiral<\/a>, and in the messaging of the congressional leftists <\/a>who have inspired the latest round of political violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As rioters wave Mexican flags<\/a> while smashing and burning their way through L.A. in an actual insurrection against the federal government, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has sued<\/a> President Trump<\/a> for attempting to restore law and order to the invaded metropolitan area. \u201cNewscum,\u201d as Trump likes to call him, is ultimately going to lose his lawsuit<\/a>, although he\u2019s likely to find liberal \u201cresistance\u201d courts to agree with him early on. The leftist governor and the usual suspects in the Pravda press are blaming the \u201ccivil unrest\u201d on the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to clean up the illegal immigration mess left by Democrats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It his equal parts baffling, hilarious, and sad that a political party that lost so badly on illegal immigration and public safety is so vehemently standing behind illegal immigrants and against safe cities. But that\u2019s precisely what\u2019s happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Every Democrat governor said as much in their insane collective statement over the weekend condemning Trump\u2019s call-up of 2,000 California National Guard members to protect California. The Democratic Governors Association incorrectly whined that Trump abused his power by deploying the soldiers against the wishes of the wishy-washy governor who failed to act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGovernors are the Commanders in Chief of their National Guard and the federal government activating them in their own borders without consulting or working with a state\u2019s governor is ineffective and dangerous,\u201d cried the DGA statement<\/a>, signed by every Democrat governor in he country. \u201cFurther, threatening to send the U.S. Marines into American neighborhoods undermines the mission of our service members, erodes public trust, and shows the Trump administration does not trust local law enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trump does not trust the partisan governors who have repeatedly shown themselves to be ineffective and dangerous not only to their own communities and states but to national security. The \u201csanctuary\u201d<\/a> that Democrat-led cities and states have sown is the chaos the entire country is reaping today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Democrats own this madness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEvery Democrat Governor came out today in favor of illegal aliens and liberal activists rioting in the streets. Democrats caused the illegal immigration invasion and now they support rioters waving the flags of foreign countries as they attack local and federal law enforcement. Soon these invaders rioting in our streets may face federal troops,\u201d Mike Mikalsen<\/a>, a Republican staffer in the Wisconsin state Senate, wrote<\/a> on Sunday on Facebook, above the DGA statement. \u201cThe time has come to start arresting Democrat officials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n What Democrats are supporting, of course, is not an organic protest movement driven to right a \u201csocial injustice.\u201d They are backing a well-funded and deeply organized Marxist movement to grab power in pursuit of a new leftist order. They are counting among their soldiers the millions of illegal immigrants that their political stooge, President Joe Biden (or at least his string manipulators), welcomed with open arms through America\u2019s front door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The nongovernmental organizations that have helped lead the invasion have gotten a lot of taxpayer money over the years to push open rebellion against federal laws and law enforcement officials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And look who Democrats are standing in solidarity with. Alleged violent criminals such as Cuong Chanh Phan, one of the criminal illegal aliens arrested in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Los Angeles, according to<\/a> the Department of Homeland Security. The 49-year-old illegal alien from Vietnam has a track record of crime that includes a second-degree murder conviction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to<\/a> the Los Angeles Times coverage at the time, Phan and his alleged fellow gang members terrorized a 1994 graduation party<\/a> following a dispute, showing up with semiautomatic weapons and firing shots at 30 attendees. DHS reports that Dennis Buan, 18, and David Hang, 15, both from California, \u201cwere killed, and seven others were wounded.\u201d Phan and eight other alleged gang members were arrested in connection with the killings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is sickening that Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass continue to protect violent criminal illegal aliens at the expense of the safety of American citizens and communities. This cold-blooded killer is who the rioters are trying to protect over U.S. citizens,\u201d said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. \u201cThe brave men and women of ICE put their lives on the line every day to arrest violent criminals like this and protect the lives of American citizens.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Copy-of-Untitled-2025-06-09T203928.051.png\")
