Senator Adam Schiff Criticizes President Trump's Actions in Los Angeles Amid Curfew Announcement

Published | Video Starts at 04:38

What do you want to hear from Governor Newsom tonight? Well, I think the governor has taken the right approach, which is this is really lawless action by the president. It's an abuse of the military. It's a waste of taxpayer money. It's deliberately adding fuel to the fire. This is not what L. A wants. It's not what California either wants or needs. The president ought to do his job, for crying out loud. (04:38–04:43)
