(Washington, D.C.) — Senate Majority Leader and South Dakota Senator John Thune is speaking out about the ongoing protests in Los Angeles and across the country. He said the issue in front of everyone is the chaos in L.A. Thune claimed city officials weren’t up to the task of handling the protests, and that’s why National Guard troops were deployed because they needed outside help. He says it’s about preventing chaos and preserving law and order. Thune’s comments come as protests against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown continue to grow around the U.S.
