Bondi Defends Contrasting Responses to LA and Jan 6 Riots | JQJO

Attorney General Pam Bondi defended the administration's contrasting responses to the January 6th Capitol riot and recent Los Angeles protests. She argued the situations were vastly different, emphasizing ongoing violence in Los Angeles. This contrasts with President Trump's pardons for hundreds of January 6th rioters, including many who assaulted police. Critics, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, highlighted the perceived inconsistency, pointing to the President's apparent selective approach to lawlessness. Bondi avoided questions about the legal justification for federal intervention in Los Angeles, focusing instead on the current situation's improvement.
