‘Tarred And Feathered’: US House Speaker Lambasts California Governor As LA Riots Rages

In a fiery press conference, House Speaker Mike Johnson came to President Trump’s defense over the federal handling of protests in Los Angeles, while unleashing sharp criticism on California Governor Gavin Newsom. When asked if Newsom should face legal action, Johnson dodged but escalated the rhetoric, saying Newsom should be “tarred and feathered” for allegedly obstructing federal law—prompting laughter from other GOP leaders. The comments mark a new escalation in partisan tensions around law enforcement and protest response.#mikejohnson #laprotests #LosAngelesProtests #losangeles #donaldtrump #gavinnewsom
