Newsom's California Government comparing LA riots to sports celebrations involving federal agents
Newsom's team downplays the violent immigration riots in Los Angeles and accuses the governor's office of mocking federal law enforcement efforts.
California Governor Gavin Newsom's Office of Communications downplayed the protests that have swept Los Angeles in recent hours, comparing them to the sports celebrations following victories by the Eagles, the home team of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL. "Riots in Los Angeles? Have these geniuses seen what happens when the Eagles win a playoff game?" asked Newsom's Communications Director Izzy Gardon.
Gardon's comparison stems from the fact that Philadelphia is known for having a significant influx of sports fans when the Eagles or Phillies, the city's home teams in the NFL and MLB, respectively, occasionally "celebrate" their victories by setting cars on fire and causing property damage.
