Trump and GOP Use French Unrest to Attack Democrats on Immigration

President Trump and Republican allies are using violent protests in France to attack immigration and warn voters about Democrats ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, claiming the unrest foreshadows what America could face. Trump, at a Kansas rally, said France is being "conquered, looted and burned" by migrants and "communists," blaming immigration for the turmoil. Vice President JD Vance echoed this, saying Democrats seek a similar future for the U.S., while Axios reports the protests began over education grievances. The French unrest, which began with student demonstrations over school conditions and living costs, has grown into nationwide rioting with hundreds of thousands of marchers and clashes with police. President Emmanuel Macron distinguishes legitimate protesters from violent rioters, while France's right-wing National Rally also uses the turmoil politically.
