Yeah, the FIRST thing blubberbutt Vera Katz did as soon as she got her puss in the media in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks was to bleat nasally about how "we don't want any minorities to be hurt as a result of this" (I am NOT kidding; I HEARD it).
Like, forget the 3000 incinerated Americans, forget the war that just started, forget trying to safeguard the City of Portland, what we really need to do is wail piously about not "Hurting" "Minorities".
Subsequently, it was of course revealed that Katz was employing Islamikazi terrorists in her mayoral orifice oops excuse me office.
Oh, Vera she was a classic. Now they have another leftist Mayor. Rats breed rats.
Portland, much like Seattle has been under DEM-MOB control for many years. It is no wonder terrorists grow roots in the West. They are willing to do anything for the ideology and power, just like leftists.
