President Donald Trump has renewed his warning to Oregon Democratic Governor Kate Brown and Portland Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler that if they will not get political violence in Portland, Oreg. under control soon, he will have no other choice but to federalize the National Guard to restore civil order in the city. “Portland is a mess, and it has been for many years. If this joke of a mayor doesn’t clean it up, we will go in and do it for them!” the President wrote on Twitter. The siege of the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse by Antifa and other violent rioters has been going on for more than three months now in the wake of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody. U.S. Marshals and other federal law enforcement have been needed to keep the building from being burnt to the ground. On Aug. 30 the violence turned deadly when Aaron Danielson, a member of the Patriot Prayer group that often clashes with Antifa in Portland, was shot dead on the streets in an unprovoked attack. The killer remains at large. The President’s call for Oregon to bring in the National Guard followed Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers agreeing to bring in the National Guard following the Kenosha shootings of Jacob Blake by police officer Rusten Sheskey on Aug. 23, and Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum by Kyle Rittenhouse on Aug. 25. The escalation we are witnessing should be incredibly chilling to the American people, a demonstration of what happens when riots taking place across the country are allowed to continue unabated. Now, armed citizens are hitting the streets and taking matters into their own hands — with deadly results. Is anyone surprised? Portland is a powder keg and has been a hotbed for violence by Antifa and other groups for years. And it will only get worse until authorities can remove the political violence from the streets. It’s open rebellion in the streets of America. What do you think should be done to rein it in?
