Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania cautioned fellow Democrats about the potential political repercussions of insufficiently denouncing violence from recent protests in Southern California. He shared a provocative photo on social media and stated that while many Democrats have criticized such actions, they need to be more vocal. He labeled the situation as anarchy, asserting that the party loses moral authority by remaining silent on issues like property destruction and assaults on law enforcement. Local officials had described the violence as minimal yet related concerns were amplified by political tensions, notably involving federal troop deployment.
My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement.
I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration but this is not that. This is anarchy and true chaos.
