Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who is responsible for the continued terrorism in his city from his lack of action, got some press the other day when he called out the rioters by saying, “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.”

After 70 days of arson, assaults, terrorism and destruction, it was as if the mayor FINALLY figured out that the Antifa/BLM mobs were trying to kill cops. Gee, who would have guessed that, even with all of the videos being posted on Twitter of Antifa/BLM accosting cops.

But, alas, as it turns out, it doesn’t appear that the mayor is actually concerned about the cops, the lawlessness, the destroyed businesses or the law-abiding citizens. 

No, he’s concerned that the terrorists are making Democrats look bad and it might help President Trump get re-elected.

Wheeler went on to say, “Don’t think for a moment that if you are participating in this activity, you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump — because you absolutely are. If you don’t want to be part of that, then don’t show up.”

It was a shrewd strategy, trying to appeal to the terrorists’ hatred of Donald Trump and all things Orange Man Bad. But what Wheeler doesn’t get is that these terrorists hate America. All of America. All law enforcement. All laws. 

The Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front posted on social media about Round 2 coming over the weekend and had the slogan, “No cops. No prisons. Total abolition.”

True to their word, there was another night of violence and an attack on the police over the weekend where the terrorists blocked streets and set fire to the police union office and attacked local police with bottles and lasers. They also chanted, “We know where you live” to residents in the area who were watching what they were doing.

So unfortunately for Wheeler, the terrorists hate America and following America’s laws more than they hate Trump. They did not agree to grab their matches and weapons and go home so that Biden can get elected.

The Democrats have created a monster to help them win an election but they underestimated the hatred of not just Trump, but America itself—they have been teaching in the school systems, through Hollywood, and through the media. 

Who do you think would win the Presidency?
