As Portland, Oregon braces for dueling protests between Antifa and far-right activists, Mayor Ted Wheeler says law enforcement is ready to respond. of course, as it was in the past, he will see to it that only ANTIFA is supported by police and all others can be attacked at will.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler claims his city is “very prepared” for dueling protests planned for this weekend between right-wing groups and so-called anti-fascists.
The Oregon Democrat warned that law enforcement will “be ready” for the looming demonstrations planned for this weekend and promised swift action against anyone committing any acts of violence. But in an interview with Fox News, he stopped short of denouncing Antifa groups directly.
Bill Hemmer asked the mayor about Antifa’s record, especially in light of the violence that broke out in June when conservative journalist Andy Ngo was brutally attacked while covering a rally in Portland and said he sustained a brain injury during the assault.
Wheeler, who came under heavy fire for his hands-off approach to the violent leftists, avoided Hemmer’s direct question while seeming to take on a new tougher tone.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz called for “legal action” against Wheeler following the attack on Ngo in June.
“To federal law enforcement: investigate & bring legal action against a Mayor who has, for political reasons, ordered his police officers to let citizens be attacked by domestic terrorists,” Cruz tweeted.
This idiot is not only running for re-election; the East-Coasters who've moved to Portland will doubtless ensure that he wins.
