Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler should be investigated by federal law enforcement officials following his handling of the protests in his city this weekend that saw a conservative writer purportedly attacked by members of Antifa, Sen. Ted Cruz said. The comments from the Texas Republican come as a video is circulating on the internet purportedly showing editor Andy Ngo being pelted with eggs, milkshakes and other objects on Saturday in Oregon’s largest city. At least three people were arrested and several others were reported injured there throughout the day during a series of demonstrations, as members of Antifa and other leftist groups clashed with members of the far-right Proud Boys and conservatives, police said.

“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 alongside a story recapping the incident surrounding Ngo...

Mayor Ted Wheeler looks like a caricature of the ultimate d-bag.
It’s really kind of odd, but he just really looks like a stooge.
Weird.

Regarding being investigated by the feds, I wish that Sen. Cruz was referring to after 2020 elections when patriots elect new patriot Congress, instead of now under corrupt Congress.

Hey Senator Cruz, You’re on the Judiciary’s sub-committee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights.....Most Americans don’t know this type of ongoing fascist terrorism is happening in Portland. You have the seniority and clout to see that Senate hearings about this are held to determine who is behind this and shine some light on these and similar events. DO SOMETHING. TALK IS CHEAP!!!!!

Should be, yes. Whether he WILL be is a wholly different matter.

Thank you, Senator Cruz!! Now, some of the other cowardly Republicans need to get behind this. The President can also speak up. YOUR supporters are getting beaten in the streets, leftist politicians are allowing it. What are you going to do, GOP? My guess is nothing at all. If the feds will jump on this, maybe the right will be allowed to demonstrate if we surround ourselves with Asian homosexuals.

"Portland mayor should be investigated by feds over Antifa attack on conservative writer, Sen. Cruz says"

From what I've read, I don't know that Ngo is actually "conservative".

But he IS gay.

IDK what the hate crime laws are in Oregon or Portland, but Antifa attacked a GAY Asian man, whatever his politics.

And how sweet of the Antifa folks to completely and thoroughly document their attack on a GAY man.

Who was doing nothing more than existing in "their"space.

This point needs to be hammered home.

Ngo was doing absolutely nothing violent or harmful, except for recording Antifa activities.

Antifa hates gays, and beats them up on sight.

Antifa goes after anybody they want:

Last August, Paul Welch, a registered Democrat who supported Bernie Sanders, told local newspapers that he was brutally assaulted by Antifa members who were protesting a right-wing rally because he possessed a "fascist symbol" - an American flag.

And that's just fine with the mayor and his police department. They're piously bleating about the First Amendment at the moment but I don't recall anything in the First that protects beating people with crowbars.
