Portland mayor condemns rioters for 'attempting to commit murder'.
Fox News ^ | 8.7.2020 | Brie Stimson

Posted on 08/07/2020 5:18:50 AM PDT by Carriage Hill

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Thursday evening condemned the actions of rioters who attempted to set fire to a police precinct and blocked the exits while officers were inside.

“When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder," Wheeler said in a news conference with Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.

"Don’t think for a moment that you are if you are participating in this activity, you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump — because you absolutely are," he said. "You are creating the B-roll film that will be used in ads nationally to help Donald Trump during this campaign. If you don’t want to be part of that, then don’t show up.”

Notice how he doesn’t care about potential murder victims, only that the optics might help Trump.

Marxist slime.

“Your Prop Donald Trump get re-elected with b film footage”

That should make everyone stop and think for a moment. Clearly the Mayor of Portland is upset because it’s helping Trump make his point. He doesn’t care about his city, it’s employees, the police, or public property.....Nope it’s all about Trump.

The ‘riots’ have NEVER been about the things they say they have been, it’s about hating Trump and those who voted for him. It’s about pushing an agenda, even if it endangers lives and destroys the Constitution. That’s the bare naked truth of the Democrats. You have his words confirming it.

I would let them burn you at the stake and take one for the team. What better way to express you support for them and their mission.

You see that the mayor’s true concern was not for the victims of this arson, but for the political considerations involved.

He had no problem with this for 2 months, until he finally figured out it might help Trump get re-elected, now he says they’re bad little boys...

If he thought it would actually help Biden or hurt Trump, he’d be out there with them and he’d bring a flamethrower...

I’m not sure what he thought the endgame would be when he gave the protesters space to “riot”. What a maroon.

In another week he will be saying Trump was behind the rioting just for this purpose.

Fake condemnation. If the mayor cared about police lives he would put an immediate end to these life threatening attacks.

The mayor’s only concern is that the chaos and violence in Portland is working in Trump’s favor.

An excellent point. He is, at the very least, an accessory. Charge him.

The Communist Democrats hoped that they could stir up racial tensions using these "Brown Shirts" but it failed and is costing them in public opinion.

They realize they need to somehow stop them but may not be able to because they intentionally sought out damaged individuals to riot.
