California Democrat Senator Alex Padilla launched a vicious attack on President Trump's administration Wednesday night, claiming the White House has "blood on their hands" over fatal shootings in Minneapolis during an appearance on MSNBC's "All In."
The inflammatory accusation represents yet another desperate attempt by Democrats to pin blame on Trump for incidents occurring in Democrat-controlled cities that have been plagued by violence for years under progressive leadership.
Padilla's outrageous claim comes as Trump's second-term agenda focuses on restoring law and order to American cities that have been decimated by soft-on-crime Democrat policies. The irony is rich – a senator from California, a state that has become a poster child for failed liberal governance, pointing fingers at an administration that's been in office for just ten days.
"This White House has blood on their hands," Padilla declared during the MSNBC appearance, apparently forgetting that Minneapolis has been under Democrat control for decades.
Minneapolis, you'll remember, became ground zero for the 2020 riots that Democrats either ignored or actively encouraged. The city's Democrat leadership presided over the destruction of entire neighborhoods while calling to "defund the police." Now they want to blame Trump for the predictable consequences of their own disastrous policies.
This is the same playbook Democrats used throughout Trump's first term – blame him for problems created by decades of their own failed leadership. Whether it's crime in Chicago, homelessness in San Francisco, or violence in Minneapolis, it's somehow always Trump's fault, never the Democrat mayors and governors who actually run these cities.
Meanwhile, Trump's administration is already taking action to restore order where Democrat leaders have failed. With initiatives to support law enforcement, secure our borders, and end the soft-on-crime policies that have turned American cities into war zones, this administration is doing what Democrats refused to do for years.
Padilla's unhinged accusations reveal the left's desperation as they watch Trump deliver on his promises to make America safe again. Instead of working with the new administration to solve problems, Democrats would rather play politics with American lives.
Patriots should ask themselves: who's really got blood on their hands – the administration working to restore law and order, or the Democrats who created this mess in the first place?
