Portland Mayor comrade Wheeler asked about 'White supremacists' sharing blame with 'anarchists' regarding city violence

Comrade Wheeler

As violence and rioting continued in Portland over the weekend, far-left Mayor comrade Ted Wheeler was asked in a virtual news conference why "white supremacists" share the blame with "anarchists" for the criminal behavior being perpetrated in the streets of Portland, in spite of the evidence all pointing to militants of Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

While the useless leftist agreed to the point, he also emphasized the bigger problem of "white nationalism" on a national level.

KATU-TV noted that Monday's conference concerned "ongoing criminal destruction, violence and intimidation small groups of self-described anarchists and white supremacists continue to inflict on local businesses, neighborhoods and people."

Alex Zielinski, news editor of the Portland Mercury, asked the impotent mayor why a news release that announced the news conference mentioned "anarchists and white supremacists" as a problem when only BLM and Antifa criminal activity had been discussed during the news conference.

The crappy mayor began by deferring to the Portland Police Bureau for examples of "recent white supremacist actions" in the city, and then he acknowledged the accuracy of the reporter's assessment while offering his bulls**t response that takes a politician to give.

"We are in a time of political extremes," the nation's third worst mayor began, [see Andrew "Handy Andy" Cuomo and Gavin Newsom for more on this assessment] admitting that during the news conference city leaders are discussing "criminal destruction coming from self-described anarchist left."

Then following the leftist's agenda the garbage Mayor of Portland said:

"But we also have to acknowledge that in the United States the number-one public safety threat according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation is white nationalism. [Where is the actual evidence for this bold claim?] And we certainly saw elements of that coming to bear during the insurrection at the United States Capitol, and we certainly have to keep up our vigilance here in the City of Portland. 

"I would expect that given that we are largely seen as a progressive community, we will continue to not only have the type of activities that we saw on Friday night continue to some degree, but I would also expect that we will continue to see those who are engaged in intimidation or violence against immigrants, refugees, and people of color to also continue here in the City of Portland because they know they'll get a reaction. [It's unlikely he's also referring to the recent attacks on Asians, where statistically, they are being carried out more by minorities, particularly by Black men, than White people. I think Al Gore might call that an inconvenient truth, unlike his documentary on global warming, but that's a different story.] The idiot mayor continued, "We have to be vigilant regardless of the politics involved. There is no room for violence or criminal destruction, and I don't give a damn what your politics are nor should anybody else. It's about the behavior." 

[And if you believe that Wheeler doesn't give a damn about what your politics is, then you probably wear two or more masks when driving alone in your car.]

There is no obvious evidence of lawlessness by "white supremacists" in Portland of late, and Wheeler didn't, and couldn't provide any examples. But the left never needs examples other than their words.

Wheeler appears to be afraid of condemning the violence by the actual people who are committing it so the default position of the left is to blame "white nationalism" inspired by Trump.

Their words and racism are wearing very thin.
