FIRST ON FOX: Nearly all Republican attorneys general blasted California’s Democratic leaders on Tuesday in a joint statement, accusing them of condoning criminal behavior and saying they left President Donald Trump with no choice but to activate thousands of National Guard soldiers.

“In California, we’re seeing the results of leadership that excuses lawlessness and undermines law enforcement,” 26 attorneys general wrote in the statement, first provided to Fox News Digital. “When local and state officials won’t act, the federal government must.”

The attorneys general said Trump’s decision to federalize the National Guard to address anti-immigration enforcement riots and protests that broke out in parts of Los Angeles County over the weekend was the “right response.”

Their remarks stand in direct contrast to those of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats across the country, who widely condemned Trump’s decision to send the military into California as an unnecessary escalation.

Newsom sued Trump over the move and accused the president of stripping California of its sovereignty. Presidents federalizing the National Guard, which is a state-based military force that falls under the dual control of governors and presidents, is rarely carried out without the consent of a governor.

Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, who led the attorneys general in issuing the statement, told Fox News Digital in a brief interview he felt Newsom was “gaslighting” the public by saying California’s local and state law enforcement had the unrest under control and did not need Trump to intervene.

“We all saw what was happening,” Carr said. “There were federal law enforcement officers that were being attacked by mobs. And in fact, I read articles where local law enforcement were saying they were overwhelmed and they needed help. My question is, why in the world would he not accept the help of the federal government at a time where there was mob rule, where there was arson that was taking place, where assaults were occurring, instead of coddling the criminals that are doing this again?”

Carr said those opposed to the Trump administration’s immigration raids could “peacefully disagree with what the federal government is doing.”

Newsom, for his part, alleged that Trump exacerbated the riots, echoing a position some criminal justice advocates take that an immediate show of force in response to intensifying protests is an ineffective approach.

In Newsom’s lawsuit, attorneys wrote that Trump’s decision was not only unwise but also an unlawful and “unprecedented usurpation of state authority and resources.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the California Attorney General’s Office for comment.
