(WBRE/WYOU) — Representatives across the country are weighing in on the civil unrest happening in Los Angeles.
Pennsylvania's 9th District Representative Dan Meuser and gave 28/22 News his opinion on the deployment of the National Guard.
He says he stands by the president's decision and is pushing back against claims that the military's presence is only fanning the flames.

"The first cars were burning almost 48 hours before the National Guard went in. The idea of blaming anything under the uprisings on the National Guard is false," said Meuser.
As for thoughts on Trump saying he would arrest California Governor Gavin Newsom, Meuser said he wasn't aware of those claims, but said he's sure it won't happen.
