Meuser, McCormick back Trump sending troops to quell Los Angeles unrest

Two Republicans who represent northeast and north-central Pennsylvania in Congress back President Donald Trump’s decision to order troops into Los Angeles.

U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser, R-Luzerne, blamed California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles officials for failing to control “rioters” when interviewed Monday at a Berwick event.

“It should have been put out by the locals. It wasn't. The president said, ‘If you can't control it, we're going to send in the National Guard.' That's what happened,” Meuser said.
