Far-left CNN anchor Dana Bash got put in her place Sunday morning after making a crazy remark regarding the ongoing riots in Los Angeles.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Violent protests began on Friday after ICE agents conducted multiple raids in downtown Los Angeles.

The riots continued into Saturday. Protesters started fires, threw projectiles at law enforcement officers, and damaged property in response to LA Mayor Karen Bass’s call for action against ICE agents.

The situation turned south so quickly that Trump deployed the National Guard to restore order while Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom sat on their hands.

During an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) ripped the protesters for not only tearing Los Angeles apart but for carrying Mexico’s national flag while doing so.

“They were literally out there protesting, carrying a foreign flag,” Mullin said. “That is absolutely insane. I mean, they’re not just peaceful protesters. These are illegals. These are exactly why the president is trying to secure our border.”

Unsurprisingly, Bash’s first thought was to defend the insurrectionists and ignore the crimes committed.

“Well, carrying a flag is not illegal,” Bash replied.

“Carrying a foreign flag while you’re attacking law enforcement?” Mullin retorted. “It’s pretty bad.”

Bash then made an outrageous comment playing down the violent protests, claiming that what is happening now is far different than the 1992 Rodney King protests.

“I just want to state for the record that what did happen in 1992 is so different from what we’re seeing now,” Bash said. “That was a uh, real riot that went all across the city of Los Angeles after a verdict in the Rodney King case…”

Mullin then interjected and shut Bash down by pointing out a few simple facts.

“Dana, we can look at this, and we obviously see that this is not under control,” Mullin responded. “A riot is a riot. They are throwing all types of objects at law enforcement, and the president is absolutely right (to send in the National Guard).”
