Bondi says LA protests 'very different' than Jan. 6 rioters who were pardoned
Bondi says LA protests 'very different' than Jan. 6 rioters who were pardoned (ABC News)The attorney general previously condemned violence against law enforcement.
Attorney General Pam Bondi rejected that President Donald Trump's pardons for hundreds of rioters who assaulted police during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol creates a double standard with the administration's aggressive response to violence at immigration protests in Los Angeles.
"Well, this is very different," Bondi said Wednesday in an on-camera gaggle with reporters at the White House. "These are people out there hurting people in California right now. This is ongoing."
California Gov. Gavin Newsom slammed the Trump administration Tuesday night for its actions in California against his wishes and cited inconsistency in the president's actions, saying, "Trump, he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence, as long as it serves him. What more evidence do we need than Jan. 6?"
Trump's and other officials' attempts to stoke outrage over videos showing attacks on law enforcement in Los Angeles has been the subject of some mockery on social media -- with Democrats and other critics of the administration posting comparisons to the assaults law enforcement were subject to on Jan. 6, when a pro-Trump mob descended on the Capitol.
