L.A. Mayor: ‘Are You Telling Me that He [Trump] Said We Paid for the Violence to Take Place?’

EXCERPT:

BASS: "Wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you telling me that he said we paid for the violence to take place? Is that what you just said?"

BURNETT: "I‘m just quoting to you what he said. It is, as our Kristen Holmes reported, sometimes unclear exactly — what exactly he means or is saying. But that is the the quote of what he said."

BASS: "Well, let me just say it is absolutely absurd that either myself or the governor would be supportive in any way, shape or form to the vandalism and the violence that is taking place in our city. I guess he has not heard any of my comments or any of my press conferences, because I have been abundantly clear that what is happening on our streets is unacceptable. When it is criminal behavior, people will be arrested and prosecuted.”
