Black Lives Matter protesters staked out the home of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti for the 13th straight day. The protesters demand that former Vice President Joe Biden not nominate the Democrat mayor for any potential cabinet position.
BLM protesters danced to “F**k Donald Trump” on the street in front of Mayor Garcetti’s home in Los Angeles. The rally marks the 13th straight day of protests demanding that Garcetti not be appointed to any potential Biden administration cabinet position.
A video tweeted by independent journalist Jorge Ventura shows the commotion currently underway in front of the mayor’s home.

Breitbart News reported on November 28 that BLM leaders protesting outside Garcetti’s home accused former Vice President Joe Biden of capitalizing “on our efforts to defund the police.”
“We want to be very clear that as we happily usher out the Trump regime, we will not accept liberal white supremacy in the White House in the form of Joe Biden,” Dr. Melina Abdullah said during a speech outside Garcetti’s house. … “It doesn’t matter to me that Kamala Harris is your vice president if you’re using her black woman body to usher in oppressive systems and oppressive people like Eric Garcetti.”
