At the very least this failed individual should resign;

*************

Our country doesn’t do the accountability thing. The political elites are above reproach.

“That seems to be referring to the August 22 clash between the Proud Boys and Antifa, where one of the Proud Boys was shot. That is not at all the same thing as saying he was wrong about letting BLM and Antifa go nuts in last summer’s protests.”

Good summary. When I read it I had the similar thoughts. Should not have taken 18 posts for someone to say. Should have been in the top three.

>>On Wednesday, Mayor Ted Wheeler admitted it was “not the right strategy” to allow armed protesters to clash in the Oregon city on August 22, with no intervention from police.<<

Just following orders...Cuomo/Whitmer nursing home deaths...just following orders....Soros funded Secretaries of State and election fraud...just following orders...Vaccine passports....just following...mask mandates....Critical race theory....Tearing down statues of old white guys...Locking up January 6 Patriots for years?...Censorship....etc.

Mistake? It was a felony, not a mistake.

Mayor Ted Wheeler and the Democrat Party collude with Communist Black Lives MatterTM and Antifa to endanger citizens and deprive them of their rights.

What is he talking about “run wild”? Could he be hinting, that the entire summer of 2020 was just a political ploy, in an attempt to discredit and defame Trump? Could he be admitting that all the destruction, assaults, vandalism, arson, and murders, were Democrat Party sponsored actions? Perhaps we need a “Blue Ribbon Committee” to investigate this?

NO. No more committees, no more stalling, no more obfuscation, no more lies. Time for House cleaning, and Senate cleaning, and Executive Branch cleaning. Thorough cleaning, leaving not a spec of filth remaining. Will we get it? Of course not.

So basically he’s saying Trump was right, but we already installed the venal hack, so deal with it.

It was more then just a "mistake"!!! The actions of the Portland mayor gave aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States. Mayor Ted Wheeler admits he is a traitor.

Well Portlands citizens still have him in office and their outcry was very little to the mess THEY created by continuing to support him as they watched their city be destroyed. The citizens were as welcoming to these people as Europe was to Muslims. They rolled out the red carpet.

It must be something in the water that makes most mayors of cities on the Left Coast turn into raving left-wing, Moonbats with no common sense.

Kinda like the guy who burned down his house with a blowtorch while trying to kill spiders. He also admitted it probably wasn’t a good idea.
