Wheeler, a Democrat, said acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf reached out to his office to offer assistance in quelling the demonstrations. Wheeler responded that his “biggest immediate concern is the violence federal officers brought to our streets in recent days, and the life-threatening tactics [Department of Homeland Security] agents use.”

"We do not need or want their help," he added.

Anti-capitalist and anti-fascist teenagers known as the Northwest Youth Liberation Front are reportedly the main organizers of the violence that has gripped the city for over a month. The group hopes to achieve a political revolution.

“We are a bunch of teenagers armed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and yerba mate — we can take a 5 a.m. raid and be back on our feet a few hours later,” the group wrote on June 18.

Even if they wanted to say something, they know NO level of government, Local, State or Federal, would protect them.

Trump should push to have the mayor arrested.

FTA: “We do not need or want their help,” he added. I told the Acting Secretary that my biggest immediate concern is the violence federal officers brought to our streets in recent days, and the life-threatening tactics his agents use. We do not need or want their help.

That mayor cannot have missed that the rioters and looters and murderers are all democrats.

Donald Trump claims he will announce federal action next week against ‘liberal left-wing Democrats’ who have ‘lost control of cities’

Portland Mayor Traitorwheeler wants the murders (including abortions), arsons, looting, and insurrection to continue.

He can rely on the fifth-column enemedia to lie in blaming President Trump.

"Sure, we’ll have fascism in this country, and we’ll call it anti-fascism."
I first heard it ascribed to Huey Long, but that’s probably incorrect.

Actually it’s pretty amasing the business owners and citizens don’t appear to be upset with their mayor......must be it’s a really stupid community.

Portland mayor is on board with burning Portland to the ground.

The Democrat game plan is to be absolute rulers of a smouldering ruin.

Northwest Youth Liberation Front is part of a national network called Youth Liberation Front which has been active for about a year under that name.

The nerve of that p.o.s. to say federal officers were bringing violence to the streets!!

He deserves justice for his evil-—from someone and somewhere.

People and businesses have been leaving Portland in droves! It’s been going on for about 2 years. More so lately. Portland is now a shithole country. Trump only lost in 3 Oregon counties in 2016.

Many Democrat run cities are becoming fetid, festering cesspools.

They are afraid.

These ‘protesters’ are terrorists.

People need to get past the media and idiot leaders calling them protestors.
