Tricia McLaughlin called the violent L.A. riots “disgusting” and “un-American” during her appearance on Newsmax’s Wake Up America. The Department of Homeland Security’s top spokeswoman didn’t hold back, slamming protesters for attacking police and burning businesses. She blamed weak leadership for letting chaos rule America’s streets.
McLaughlin, a trusted voice in conservative politics, made it clear these riots hurt working families. She warned that liberal mayors and governors have failed to protect communities. “Real Americans want safety, not anarchy,” she said, standing firm for law and order.
The DHS official praised brave officers who risked their lives to stop looters. She stressed that destroying property isn’t protest—it’s criminal. McLaughlin reminded viewers that conservatives will always back the police, unlike radical activists.
She called out Democrats for siding with rioters instead of victims. “They’d rather defend vandals than small business owners,” McLaughlin said. Her fiery words resonated with patriots tired of seeing cities burn.
McLaughlin didn’t shy from pointing fingers at far-left groups funding the violence. She urged Americans to reject these extremists and their hate for traditional values. “We won’t let mobs rewrite history,” she declared.
The assistant secretary highlighted how open borders make riots worse. She linked illegal immigration to rising crime, saying DHS is cracking down. McLaughlin promised to deport violent foreigners who join the chaos.
She ended with a rallying cry for voters to take back their country. “November is our chance to restore sanity,” McLaughlin said. Her message was clear—conservatives must fight to save America from collapse.
The segment left no doubt where true patriots stand. McLaughlin’s tough talk reflects the heart of millions who believe in strength, freedom, and respect for law. For real Americans, the choice has never been clearer.
