A California sheriff slammed Kamala Harris for her 'embarrassing' statement attempting to blame Donald Trump for the outrageous Los Angeles riots.
The former vice president released a statement condemning the president for deploying the National Guard, which she called a 'dangerous escalation.'
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who has announced his candidacy for California governor in 2026 and could theoretically face Harris in that showdown, accused Harris and Gavin Newsom of gaslighting.
'President Trump didn't start these riots. He's not out there lighting cars on fire, hurling projectiles at law enforcement or blocking freeways. This statement is an embarrassment and does nothing to diffuse the violent riots taking place across the city,' Bianco wrote on social media.
He said that Democratic leaders the likes of Harris, Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass 'own this.'
The one-time presidential nominee then went on to express her support for the protests - which she called 'overwhelmingly peaceful.'
'In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump administration's cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division,' she wrote.
Bianco made another post quote-tweeting a video from the riots that made fools of that statement.
'Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Karen Bass and the Democrats want you to think this is a 'peaceful protest,' Bianco said.
'Don't let them gaslight you. This is Gavin's Lawless California. Our state deserves better.'
Riverside is about 50 miles southwest of Los Angeles but Bianco said he is watching the situation.
'An adherence to law is an absolute requirement if we are to remain a civilized society,' he said in a statement.
