L.A. Sheriff Calls Progressive Activists ‘White Millionaires’ Who Live In ‘Mansions’; They Accuse Him Of Being In A Secret Hispanic Gang

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva on Wednesday called out an activist coalition allied with Black Lives Matter, claiming the organization is mainly comprised of Caucasians who reside in luxury homes in affluent neighborhoods.

Villanueva singled out the group, called People’s City Council-L.A., during an Instagram Live broadcast focused on his incremental plan to clear the Venice Beach boardwalk of homeless encampments. The coalition is part of a larger progressive alliance that has condemned the department’s strategy for addressing the county’s transient population, accusing Villanueva of ordering “an armed displacement” while using “fascist rhetoric” to “intimidate and harass unhoused people.”
