During an interview on Fox News on Sunday, White House economic adviser Peter Navarro said that looters and rioters are “bad hombres” and “a pack of animals.”
Asked Navarro about the protests surrounding the White House, which have been mostly peaceful, Navarro told host Maria Bartiromo that while he’s seen many peaceful protesters, “there were a lot of bad hombres out there as well ready to riot.”
According to Navarro, Washington, D.C. “is a burnt-out shell” because Mayor Muriel Bowser has been cautious about reopening the city during a pandemic.
“It’s not open now,” he complained. “What it basically is is graffiti, it’s boarded up places.”

“Let me do a little math, a little arson and looter math. When you have an arsonist burn down a small business, that’s a 100 jobs you’ve destroyed. Not just inside the enterprise but along the supply chain,” he continued.
“When you have a pack of animals go in and loot a big store, that’s thousands of jobs. And if you add that up, Maria, over the 16 major metropolitan areas where the national guard has had to be deployed, that’s almost 2 million jobs that are being impacted.”
