Trump Accused of Hypocrisy for Comments on LA Protesters

President Donald Trump has been accused of being a hypocrite for his treatment of the Los Angeles protesters compared to the January 6 rioters.
Los Angeles has become the center of national attention as a result of recent protests throughout the city. After a string of immigration raids, thousands took to the streets demanding the expulsion of ICE and other officers. The demonstration eventually turned violent, with protesters throwing rocks at fleeing agents and even fighting back against officers dressed in riot gear.
On Sunday, Trump condemned the attacks on police and vowed to punish the protesters responsible. He then proclaimed, "They spit, we hit."
"When they spit at people — you know, they spit, that's their new thing," Trump said. "They spit and worse. You know what they throw at 'em, right? And when that happens, I have a little statement: They spit, we hit! And I told them — nobody's going to spit on our police officers. Nobody's gonna spit on military. Which they do as a common thing. They get up to them this far away, and then they start spitting in their faces. If that happens, they get hit very hard."
The president doubled down on that point in a Truth Social post the next day.

Critics were quick to point that the Trump administration's view of the LA protesters was a significant departure from his view of the people he pardoned for storming the Capitol on January 6.

It's not only that Trump pardoned Jan. 6 rioters for hundreds of assaults, he also ordered the Justice Department to drop about 300 pending felony cases for assaulting or interfering with police and to stop investigations to charge about 60 more. https://t.co/xFHQbjWyUqhttps://t.co/annAzB4kxtpic.twitter.com/4oVi0B0x6P — Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) June 9, 2025
Trump's hypocrisy is disgusting. I hope GOP leaders will have the decency to recognize it and distance themselves from it. Trump wants a fight. Californians, and I hope most Americans, do not. https://t.co/jAso0KhI2G — Michael McFaul (@McFaul) June 9, 2025
Why didn't Trump order the National Guard when MAGAs stormed the Capitol on January 6th?
Pardon me for asking such a silly question.

Trump refused the National Guard on Jan 6 during the Capitol attack.
Now he's sending troops to L.A. to silence protests for justice.
No response for democracy's defense, but heavy force against demands for fairness.

trump really wants a civil war ...
[✘]
Trump represents the part of America that refuses to accept or even understand the positions and desires of their fellow Americans. Their fellow Americans are liberal, progressive, gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, queer, Hispanic, black, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and any other flavor of minority group that either aren't or are barely represented among white conservative Anglo-Saxon Protestant groups which make up the vast majority of Trump and Republicans support.
So, it's really along this divide that the fracture in America exists. What are the options one might ask? Where do we go from here? Well, on one side you have those who believe in their ancient religious documents rules that define anyone not conforming to their religious laws as "sinners", but thankfully we don't live in a country controlled by any religion. In fact, such a thing is specifically forbidden in our constitution so those religious folk should mind their own business and fuck off, right? Well, sadly, they don't see it that way. They see the constitution as protecting their religious rights to force their unproven doctrine down everyone else's throat and see nothing wrong with it because they've been doing it for centuries and are ready to fight to protect their self-claimed special status as "superior" Americans that have more rights than their fellow Americans
And as for the other side? Well, they seem content with simply being treated with the same respect as any white conservative Christian. They don't want more rights than anyone else, they want the same rights and they're understandably willing to fight for them. They don't want to be discriminated against in housing, jobs, education or anywhere else.
These are the two sides. Rightwing conservative religious fanatics who want to force their beliefs on everyone and to enshrine what they see as their right to treat anyone that doesn't conform to their religious doctrines as second-class Americans with fewer rights than they enjoy, and on the other side, everyone who doesn't share the conservatives' ideals or kneel to their religious conservative dear leader. And sadly, the religious conservatives are under two very hilariously flawed perceptions. One, that they would easily win a war against the supposedly pacifist liberals. And two, that they are still an actual majority in America. Those two beliefs are what could actually spark the next civil war and also the reason that if they do, they will undoubtedly regret it even more than their ancestors did after attacking Fort Sumter.
why lie, I'm really going to enjoy defending the constitution against maga/thumper domestic enemies ...
The only ones Trump treats kindly are those that grovel before him . If Abrego Garcia would only lavish Trump with praise and call him the greatest human being in history Trump would not only leave him alone he'd probably make him an immigration official.
Protestors are armed with their saliva. That somehow requires the National Guard and the Marines as a response.

He pardoned the J6 rioters and didn't bother protecting police officers by calling in the National Guard even when our Capitol was attacked under siege from red hat brigades of MAGA hordes who were assaulting the United States Capitol.
Crazy MAGA mobs of rioters put up a gallows and where was Trump demanding "law and order"?
He sat back and did nothing. He told the right wing factions to stand back and stand by. He wants violence of any kind.
Whether it's MAGA mobs going after his VP, the Capitol, Senators, members of Congress, or whether it's his encouragement of newly hired ICE and unofficial militia collaborators like Proud Boy groups instigating violence, Trump wants it.
The hypocrisy is blatant, pathological, and sick to the core.
Obama deported more illegals going through proper channels than Trump has in his first term or in this term of his rapid shock and awe intimidation of Americans with third world dictator tactics.
If deporting the correct way was the real actual goal then MAGA should be building monuments to Obama.
Arvo...but but!!...Trump said these types of people were very special on Jan 6th!! And he loved them!!..
Did I miss something?
