Gov. Morrisey to Newsmax: Riots Show Failed Leadership in California

The riots in Los Angeles demonstrate the failed leadership in California, West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey told Newsmax on Wednesday.

Morrisey, a Republican, told Newsmax’s “Wake Up America” that one of the first duties as governor is to put a stop to violence and mayhem, and that there has been nothing out of the ordinary in what President Donald Trump has suggested. He added that Trump “would not have had to send the National Guard if the situation was just handled a lot better out in California” by the local Democrat officials.

“What you are seeing is really a lot of failed leadership out of California,” Morrisey said, insisting that “there wouldn’t be all these problems [in California] if there was strict management and focus, because you’re seeing absolute mayhem and no control.”
