Los Angeles erupted in riots over ICE deportations this weekend—and Gov. Gavin Newsom called enforcing law and order “reckless.”

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the staggering hypocrisy from California’s leaders, the Mexican flags flying over violent protests, and what the American people really think, according to new CBS polling on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“ Fifty-four percent (54%) of the American people are for continued deportations. So, you know what is really reckless Gavin? You know what is chaotic? It's you.

“ You're going to lose the optics—Democrats, Left and immigration protestors—if you have a lot of people here illegally and they're waving, not the American flag, but the Mexican flag, as they're committing acts of violence.”
