Did you see Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler’s letter to President Trump?
This guy could not be a bigger tool if he tried.
Of course you did. What kind of Democrat would you be if your city weren’t on fire every night? https://t.co/O6FZdYq5z4

Dear President Trump:
Yet again, you said you offered to aid Portland by sending in federal law enforcement to our city.
On behalf of the City of Portland: No thanks.
We don’t need your politics of division and demagoguery. Portlanders are onto you. We have already seen your reckless disregard for human life in your bumbling response to the COVID pandemic. And we know you’ve reached the conclusion that images of violence or vandalism are your only ticket to reelection.
There is no place for looting, arson, or vandalism in our city. There is no room here for racist violence or those who wish to bring their ideology of hate into our community. Those who commit criminal acts will be apprehended and prosecuted under the law.
Tens of thousands of Portlanders have peacefully protested and marched for the noble cause of fixing our broken criminal justice system. They are part of the proud progressive tradition of Portlanders fighting for justice – from racial justice to economic justice to environmental justice.
When you sent the Feds to Portland last month, you made the situation far worse. Your offer to repeat that disaster is a cynical attempt to stoke fear and distract us from the real work of our city.
In Portland, we are focused on coming together as a community to solve the serious challenges we face due to systemic racism, a global pandemic and an economic recession.
Stay away, please.
What an arrogant, snide fool. While Portland burns and descends into chaos, he lectures the president. If violence was Trump’s only ticket to reelection, then why would he offer help?
President Trump responded to Wheeler’s stupidity and threatened to act, whether Wheeler wants him to or not.
I don’t know about you, but I’m torn on this. If they don’t want help, part of me thinks, let the riots and chaos continue. The other part of me, though, just feels for all the law-abiding people of Portland who are suffering. Clearly these folks need to move to another city and/or state, but in the meantime, there is real suffering. The madness is deeply disturbing.

And now? Now that incompent mayor is feeling the heat, because as always, the Left eats its own:
BREAKING: Activists occupy Portland mayor Ted Wheeler’s apartment and aren’t leaving until he: resigns, abolishes the police by 2022 with no tech or private replacement, and allots saved resources to BIPOC communities and city services. #TearGasTed #AbolishPPB #WheelerResign pic.twitter.com/V5NsRG9tH3
