The following day, on June 9, 2025, Fry commented on the state of Los Angeles and criticized local leadership for their handling of crime.

On June 10, 2025, Fry addressed concerns about public safety and criticized certain political approaches towards law enforcement. He questioned why some political factions support individuals who threaten police officers. His tweet read: “Why does the left play footsie with radicals who assault and threaten cops?
