Democratic Congresswoman Val Demings (FL) said on Thursday that the violent riots that took place on the UC Berkeley campus were a “beautiful sight.”

“A beautiful sight.”

Transcript from the video:

“We have seen demonstrations — and I think you already talked about that — around the country. Young people at Berkeley protesting against this unconstitutional order. And I heard it say earlier that we need to get involved on the local and state level. But what concerns me is that the strain that has been placed on local government, particularly local law enforcement dealing with an order that is unjust and proper. And so as we encourage our young people to get involved — I thought it was a beautiful site — as we encourage people to get involved, what direction and instructions and how can we have a more organized effort so that they can be a major tool in moving our agenda forward? Anyone who feels that they can answer this question? Thank you.”
