Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner took to X with photographs showing the level of vandalism inflicted on his department’s Los Angeles office building by the rioters who have disrupted the city’s downtown area and shut down the department’s local operations.

On both the HUD account and his official account, Turner stated that the “left and legacy media spread fake news over false reports that HUD is closing field offices.” He added, “Now they’re encouraging riots that have actually forced at least three field offices to temporarily close.”

The photographs shared by Turner showed vulgar messages sprayed on the buildings’ exteriors. He also took umbrage with the insistence by several Democratic politicians and left-leaning media that reports of the violence and destruction created by the rioters are being exaggerated.

“Peaceful protestors don’t chant and destroy property under the banner of ‘Death to Amerikka!’” Turner stated.

Turner also praised “the law enforcement and National Guard who are working overtime to keep HUD and our Federal buildings safe from violent rioters.”
