A video showing dozens of law enforcement officers and at least two Los Angeles firefighters greeting former President Donald Trump at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is stirring controversy on social media.
“HAPPENING NOW at Los Angeles International Airport,” senior Trump advisor Dan Scavino Jr. tweeted on Sunday afternoon.
On Monday morning, LAist reporter Frank Stoltze retweeted Scavino’s post and noted that members of the Los Angeles Airport Police Department, California Highway Patrol (CHP), and Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) are visible in the video.
With Trump’s Boeing 757 jet parked in the background, the group of local first responders applauds the recently-indicted former president as he emerges from an SUV and begins shaking hands before posing for a giant group photo.
