In an explosive display of hypocrisy, Democrats are taking swings at Donald Trump for deploying the National Guard to manage riots in Los Angeles, even though they previously slammed him for not sending in the Guard during the Capitol riot on January 6. It seems the liberal playbook is fully stocked with double standards, depending on what suits their narrative at the moment.
The very same crowd that demonized Trump for the Capitol riot is now criticizing his swift action to protect Los Angeles from violent chaos, all while dismissing the truth about the events leading up to January 6. Let’s set the record straight: Trump wanted to deploy the National Guard before that rioting erupted, but his offers were rejected by Nancy Pelosi and others. This isn’t just political spin; it’s fundamental incompetence from Democratic leaders who refuse to accept responsibility for their actions.
If it were not for double standards, @TheDemocrats would have no standards at all.
Remember when @MayorBowser & @SpeakerPelosi rejected (in writing) the offer of National Guard?
Dems who slammed Trump for not having Nat'l Guard at J6 riot now slam him for having Guard in L.A.…

When riots erupted in Los Angeles over illegal immigration crackdowns, Trump took immediate action—something any logical leader would do. Yet, Democrats, including the ever-dramatic Pelosi, want to twist this into a scandal. They claim the National Guard’s presence in California is somehow unconstitutional, but it was their own decisions that left law enforcement vulnerable when it mattered most on January 6. The truth is that Pelosi obstructed National Guard assistance that day, and now she has the audacity to criticize Trump for doing the right thing months later? Talk about projecting.
The evidence is clear: Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund begged for assistance while Pelosi’s team sat on their hands. Calls for help went unanswered, and critical time was lost. How can Democrats hold Trump accountable for the Capitol when they themselves chose to prioritize political optics over protection? Sund’s testimony confirms what many of us already suspected—Democrats thrive on chaos and then milk it for political gain.
Moreover, the startling differences in response to these two incidents fail to escape scrutiny. While Democrats in their ivory towers complain about the optics of military presence, they gloss over the fact that many more lives could have been saved on January 6 if they had acted swiftly. Yet, here they are, cherry-picking evidence to deflect blame, proving they will stop at nothing in their relentless pursuit to smear Trump and shield their failures.
So, the question remains: are Democrats genuinely interested in restoring order and security in America, or do they see chaos as an opportunity to launch their political attacks? It’s time for Americans to wake up and see through this charade. The truth is right in front of us: when the going gets tough, these Democrats would rather play the blame game than lead. Are we really going to let them get away with it?
