‘This is exactly what Donald Trump campaigned on,’ says conservative consultant Nicole Schlinger

President Donald Trump is defending his muscular and controversial moves to tame unrest in the nation’s second most populous city.

“If I didn’t “SEND IN THE TROOPS” to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now,” the president argued Tuesday in a social media post.

Aiming to extinguish escalating protests in Los Angeles sparked by immigration raids carried out by ICE at his administration’s direction, Trump sent in National Guard troops and even mobilized Marines.

Regardless of the legality of his moves, Trump’s actions put immigration and law and order – key issues that helped him win back the White House in last year’s election – firmly back in the national spotlight, offering the president obvious political opportunities.

A source in the president’s political orbit told Fox News that it is “a winning script,” by putting Democrats on defense once again regarding immigration.

Additionally, the source said that Trump has a clear mandate from American voters for his mass deportation effort to clear the country of undocumented immigrants.

The optics – clashes with police and tear gas in the streets, masked protesters throwing rocks at police, setting cars on fire and waving Mexican flags – may likely boost support among a large swath of Americans, bolstering Trump’s political playbook.

While Trump’s overall approval ratings remain underwater in most national polling, thanks to negative numbers on the economy, the visuals from Los Angeles shine a spotlight on the issues on which the president performs best – immigration and border security, and law and order.

“Images splashed across the media of Mexican flag-wielding rioters burning cars and assaulting police officers validate President Trump’s call for greater immigration enforcement and border control. It also puts Democrats on the defensive by highlighting their inability to maintain law and order in blue states,” veteran Republican strategist and communicator Ryan Williams told Fox News.

Additionally, Nicole Schlinger, a longtime conservative consultant, highlighted that “this is exactly what Donald Trump campaigned on, and the swing-state voters who backed him expect action before these riots reach their cities. He’s delivering on their votes, with action, not apology.”

The violence in Los Angeles also offers up a familiar foil to the president – Newsom, a Democrat, who is considered a potential contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination.

Newsom, whom Trump suggested should be arrested, has repeatedly accused the president and his administration of manufacturing the crisis and illegally militarizing Los Angeles.

Newsom, who is suing the president to reverse the order, charged in a social media post that “this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism that threatens the foundation of our republic. We cannot let it stand.”

While Newsom has condemned the violence in the streets, Schlinger claimed that “this is the visual that plays right into Trump’s hand. Liberal Gavin Newsom, who tried to wave a moderate flag on conservative podcasts, is now defending illegal immigrants flying the Mexican flag while standing on burning cars. There’s no middle ground with burning cars on it.”

Williams argued that “Newsom’s record of failed leadership, rank incompetence, and botched responses to multiple high-profile crises make him an excellent political foil for President Trump.”

Another fringe benefit for Trump – the rioting in Los Angeles bumped an uncomfortable headline for the administration – the nasty feud with Elon Musk is far from the spotlight.

FETTERMAN CALLS OUT HIS OWN PARTY OVER UNREST IN LOS ANGELES

Republican officials and committees are using the violence in Los Angeles as a cudgel to bash Democrats.

“If you look at what’s going on in L.A., it shows exactly what [former President] Biden and the Democrats did by opening their borders the way they did and allowing millions and millions and millions of people coming here unvetted. They’ve caused all this,” Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida claimed on Tuesday. “I think President Trump is doing what he said he was going to do on the campaign trail. He’s going to keep the country safe.”

The National Republican Congressional Committee, which is the campaign arm of the House GOP, charged that “While LA is burning and law enforcement is being attacked, radical House Democrats are ‘scoffing’ at any thought of condemning the violent riots. The party has completely lost their minds.”

Even first-term Sen. John Fetterman of California, who has increasingly bucked and criticized fellow Democrats, chastised his own party.

“I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that. This is anarchy and true chaos. My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement,” Fetterman argued in a social media post.

Summary: A Law-and-Order Stance

• Rights respected, crimes prosecuted: His office protects peaceful demonstration while swiftly addressing criminal behavior.
• Regional collaboration: Deputies are dispatched to support neighboring jurisdictions under stress.
• Holding leadership accountable: Bianco accuses state leaders of politicizing the unrest and hindering law enforcement.
• Demanding federal clarity: He wants ICE to operate transparently and responsibly.

Sheriff Chad Bianco has taken an active and visible role in responding to the recent anti‑ICE protests in Los Angeles, ensuring that Riverside County remains calm and secure amid regional unrest. Here’s an in-depth look at what he’s doing:

Zero Tolerance in Riverside County

Following the violent anti-ICE protests in LA, Riverside County Sheriff’s Office issued a press release affirming its commitment to both civil liberties and public safety:

“Protesting will be protected; criminal activity will be dealt with swiftly and decisively.” Riverside Sheriff

The office made it clear that lawful expression is welcome—but line crossing into violence or obstruction will prompt immediate enforcement—they’re keeping a close watch while maintaining order.

Coordinating with LA Law Enforcement

Bianco has shared resources with neighboring agencies to help address the unrest. He confirmed deputies were deployed to Los Angeles to support crowd control efforts. In a radio interview on The John Kobylt Show, he explained:

“We have deputies in Los Angeles… The facts are…the LAPD…were being overrun…so the President sent people in.” iheart.com

His coordinated response highlights a proactive regional strategy in dealing with violent escalation, not only in Riverside County but also across Southern California.

Calling Out State Leadership

Bianco has accused Governor Gavin Newsom of exacerbating tensions with his rhetoric and inaction. He told Fox News:

“Governor Newsom needs to put his phone down… He’s doing nothing but fueling this process… He despises the enforcement of law, and he has encouraged this.”

He also dismissed the protests as legitimate activism, reaffirming a hardline position:

“They are not protesting… They are trying to violently influence something by political action.”

Criticizing Political Responses

Sheriff Bianco has been vocal in rebuking public figures for their comments on the unrest:

• He branded Kamala Harris’s remarks on the National Guard’s deployment a “embarrassment,” emphasizing that violence—not peaceful protest—was the issue. livemint.com
• From his vantage point, federal enforcement actions targeting dangerous criminals—several of whom were detained during Los Angeles protests—were justified and necessary to protect communities. iheart.com

A California sheriff running for governor has slammed current Gov. Gavin Newsom for “fueling” the Los Angeles riots, telling the Democrat to “put his phone down” and “stay out of the way of law enforcement.”

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said the rioters clearly “are not protesting” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and should not be left free to “facilitate the downfall of our civilized society.”

“They are trying to violently influence something by political action. That is what this is. That is everything that the Constitution stands against,” Bianco, who is running as a Republican,.

Sheriff Chad Bianco Vows to Fix a “Broken” California

 What does Sheriff Chad Bianco Stand For?

We find Out! and we found out California Needs a Man like Sheriff Bianco to break peace law and order back to our state and make California Great Again!

“California is broken. We are failing our residents,” Bianco said bluntly in the interview. The sheriff-turned-candidate painted a picture of a Golden State in decline under current leadership and pledged to “bring common-sense leadership back” to Sacramento. Throughout the conversation, he struck an urgent, no-nonsense tone, positioning himself as a truth-teller unafraid to challenge the status quo.

Tackling Economic Woes and Over-Regulation

Bianco stressed that high taxes and excessive regulations have driven businesses and families out of California. “We’re practically pushing people and businesses out with ridiculous taxes and red tape,” he argued, noting that companies big and small are relocating to other states. Bianco said he’s heard from employers who feel “strangled” by California’s regulatory climate.

In the interview, he pledged to cut taxes and slash regulations to entice companies back. “We have to make California a place where businesses want to stay,” Bianco explained. “That means cutting the red tape and lowering taxes on working families and businesses so they can thrive here again.” The candidate believes that reducing the tax burden will spur job growth and help curb the state’s high cost of living. Bianco pointed to the state income tax as an area he’d target for relief, and while he stopped short of promising to eliminate it entirely, he emphasized his commitment to “put money back in Californians’ pockets.”

Bianco also took aim at Sacramento bureaucracy. Over-regulation, in his view, has not only chased away employers but also worsened issues like housing affordability. “It takes years of paperwork to build homes or start a business. That’s insane,” he said. “As governor, I’ll cut through that bureaucracy. We need permits approved in months, not decades.” His pro-business, pro-growth message is a centerpiece of his campaign, and he delivered it in the interview with the conviction of someone who has seen hardworking people “struggle under needless government hurdles” and wants to set them free.

“Preemptive Policing” and Cracking Down on Crime

As a career lawman, Bianco spoke passionately about public safety. He blasted what he describes as “failed policies” that have led to rising crime and a sense of lawlessness in parts of California. Citing propositions that lowered penalties for theft and drug offenses, Bianco argued that lenient laws and a lack of accountability have emboldened criminals. “Our leaders in Sacramento have had a love affair with criminals – and honest Californians are paying the price,” he said, echoing his long-standing criticism of state officials for easing prison sentences and early release programs.

Bianco outlined a plan to restore law and order through what he calls “preemptive policing.” In the interview, he described this approach as proactive and preventative: “We can’t just react to crime after it happens. Preemptive policing means stopping crime before it starts.” Bianco wants officers to have the resources and support to intervene early – whether by targeting repeat offenders or working with communities to quell problems before they escalate. “If we know a neighborhood or a group of kids is at risk, let’s get in front of it,” he said. “We need to intervene before someone becomes a statistic. That protects everyone – potential victims and potential offenders alike.”

The sheriff’s tough-on-crime stance came through with unmistakable clarity. Bianco promised to strengthen penalties for offenders, crack down on retail theft rings and drug traffickers, and end what he calls the “catch-and-release” cycle in the justice system. “No more revolving door,” he declared. “Criminals need to know that if you break the law in California, there are real consequences again.” He also highlighted his own record, reminding listeners that he refused to enforce pandemic lockdown orders that he felt unfairly punished citizens. That decision, controversial to some, is a badge of honor for Bianco and a signal of how he would govern: “I stand with the people, not the politicians,” he said, “and I’ll do what’s right, no matter the pressure.”

Confronting Mental Health and Drug Addiction

Unlike some tough-on-crime advocates, Bianco acknowledged that not all solutions lie in punishment. A significant portion of the interview centered on mental health and drug addiction, which Bianco called “the root of so many problems” from homelessness to repeat crimes. “We have a mental health crisis on our streets,” he said, describing encounters his deputies have daily with individuals who need treatment more than jail. “Throwing addicts and the mentally ill in jail without help is not working – it’s inhumane and ineffective.”

Bianco’s plan for these intertwined crises is forceful yet compassionate: get people into treatment, even if it means compelling them for their own good. He argued that allowing people to languish in tent encampments or open-air drug markets is cruel and dangerous. “We’re not helping anyone by ignoring the mentally ill and addicted living on our sidewalks,” Bianco said. “We need to get them into treatment and off the streets – period.” As governor, Bianco says he would marshal state and local resources to build more treatment facilities and supportive housing, and he would empower law enforcement and health professionals to intervene. In his words, “If someone is a danger to themselves or others, we’re going to step in and get them help. It’s called tough love, and it’s way overdue.”

He gave a vivid example of his approach: Bianco vowed to “sweep up the homeless” who suffer from substance abuse or mental illness by guiding them into rehabilitation programs. While some critics have likened that to forcing treatment, Bianco made no apologies for being bold. “Compassion means getting people help, not leaving them to die on the streets,” he said firmly. The sheriff also noted that cleaning up the streets would benefit law-abiding residents and businesses. Parks, sidewalks and city centers, he argued, should be safe and clean for everyone. “Californians deserve to walk their neighborhoods without fear or heartbreak,” Bianco said. “Right now, too many communities feel abandoned. I won’t abandon them.”

A Campaign of Accountability and Hope

Throughout the interview, Bianco returned to a central theme: accountability. Whether discussing state finances, crime, or homelessness, he lamented what he sees as a culture of finger-pointing and excuse-making in Sacramento. He contrasted that with his own style as a sheriff. “I take responsibility. I don’t blame others when things go wrong – I fix it,” he said. “That’s the leadership I’ll bring as governor. No more passing the buck.” Bianco’s blunt assessment is that California’s government has “over-promised, under-delivered, and over-taxed” the people, and he intends to turn that around.

Despite the heavy topics, Bianco’s message was ultimately optimistic. He smiled while talking about California’s potential, saying he believes the state can again be “a place people are proud to call home.” He spoke fondly of growing up and raising a family here, and how he’s seen communities unite in tough times. That gives him hope. “California has the best people in the world,” Bianco said. “Our workers, our families – we are tough, we are resilient, and we love this state. We just need a government as good as the people.”

Bianco’s gubernatorial bid is an uphill battle in a state dominated by the opposing party, but the sheriff is undeterred. His strategy is to appeal to Californians’ desire for safety, affordability, and sanity in governance. In the Good Shepherd Media interview, Bianco’s closing remarks came as a rallying cry: “It’s time to take our state back. Let’s bring businesses back. Let’s make our streets safe again. Let’s put Californians first for a change.”

With that, the longtime lawman tipped his hat to the voters he hopes to persuade. “I’m not a polished politician,” Chad Bianco admitted with a grin. “But maybe that’s exactly what California needs now – someone who just tells the truth and gets the job done.” In this campaign, and perhaps in Sacramento, Bianco is betting that his brand of straight talk and bold action will resonate with a state hungry for change.
