WATCH: Top Dem says he has 'never heard' his fellow party members call LA riots 'peaceful'

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Wednesday that he had no recollection of his fellow Democratic Party colleagues referring to the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles as "peaceful."

"What do Democrats mean when they say the riots in L.A. are peaceful?" Durbin was asked by a reporter outside the Capitol. 

"I never heard them say that," Durbin responded, leading the reporter to ask Durbin whether he condemned the ongoing anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, which some have said amount to riots.

"I condemn violence, whether it's in the Capitol or in L.A.," Durbin shot back before being ushered away out of earshot.
