Arkansas Governor on LA Riots: “This Is Not Peaceful Protest”

As tensions flared in Los Angeles, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders delivered a firm message: “This is not peaceful protest.” In this Pulse Insider exclusive, she reacts to the violent outbreaks in LA and offers a sharp distinction between constitutionally protected demonstrations and acts of destruction.

Speaking to Pulse TV, Governor Sanders emphasized the importance of law and order while defending Americans’ right to peaceful assembly. But when chaos erupts, she argues, leaders must act decisively to restore public safety. With increasing national concern over the balance between protest rights and security, her remarks frame a broader conversation about state responsibility and federal intervention.

The governor also touches on how Arkansas is preparing for similar scenarios and whether she would welcome the deployment of National Guard troops if necessary. Her response adds a strong voice to the growing debate on the limits of protest and the cost of inaction.
