A Los Angeles newscaster has lost patience with his city’s response to the riots, exploding on Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom for allowing vandals to tear apart businesses and private property while officers stand by.
Elex Michaelson, a nighttime anchor for Fox L.A., couldn’t contain his anger after watching looters set fire to cars and hurl cinderblocks at officers during riots that have entered their fifth day. Michaelson has previously been close to Newsom, offering him exclusive interviews and favorable coverage about his ability to beat back a recall effort.
“This is outrageous. Thugs are currently setting fires & collecting rocks in Downtown L.A. as law enforcement stands by nearby,” the reporter wrote on X. “For the moment, they are letting this all happen.”
“How is it that I’m ticketed if I miss paying my parking meter by 2 minutes but this is allowed?” he added.
Viewers chimed in to share additional footage of the violence, including rioters unleashing massive fireworks on federal officers from a makeshift barricade.
