Border Patrol Agents Show Up in Force at Newsom Rally
The armed and masked agents assembled outside a museum where the governor was speaking in what Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles called “a provocative act.”

More than a dozen Border Patrol agents turned up in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday at a rally and news conference that Gov. Gavin Newsom was holding on congressional redistricting.

The governor’s event had nothing to do with immigration, and local elected officials expressed outrage that the federal agents decided to stand there in a brazen show of force outside a museum where Mr. Newsom and other leaders were speaking.

As the governor was preparing to speak inside the Japanese American National Museum in the Little Tokyo neighborhood of Los Angeles, the agents assembled outside, many of them masked and armed, and some wearing tactical helmets and carrying rifles.

“This is just completely unacceptable,” Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles told reporters. “This is a Customs and Border Patrol that has gone amok. This absolutely has to stop. There was no danger here.”

1. VP Harris did, but I guess some preferred to ignore that

"The next day, the Republican presidential candidate’s Democratic opponent, Vice President Harris — when asked on CNN whether she thought Trump was a fascist — said, “Yes, I do.”

She later added that many people care about “not having a president of the United States who admires dictators and is a fascist.”

2. That's great.

That was many months ago, and much shredding of the constitution has taken place since then. Time for our current leadership stop cowering and call it what it is.
