Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 09:32 · Archive

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt has said the riots and violence in France represent a preview of what Democrats want for America.

Riots, fires and looting have swept France after protests over rising living costs and strained public services turned violent, prompting curfews in parts of Paris and other cities. Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt warned that this unrest represents a preview of what Democrats want for America, telling Fox News Digital: 'You see what's happening in France. That's exactly what they want here, the DSA Democrats.' He described the Democrat Party as 'sort of post-American and anti-Western civilization'.

Schmitt argued that Republicans need to make the stakes clear to voters whilst showing what they have delivered. He accused Democrats of obstructing Republican efforts on immigration, permitting reform and regulations, and warned that Democratic control could jeopardize funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Pointing to areas where he credits cooperation with the Trump administration, Schmitt highlighted Boeing's selection to build the Air Force's F-47 and the Navy's next-generation F/A-XX fighter. According to the New York Post, the programmes would mean 7,000 direct jobs, with additional opportunities for suppliers and surrounding businesses.
