My question is why is Ted Cruz the only Congressman demanding an investigation? This is NOT free speech, it’s violence, it’s domestic terrorism, and it’s dangerous to our society.

Gitn2it1 hour ago

How cowardly can you be to participate in mob violence against a defenseless and innocent person? No free speech in Portland. We get the message.

Patriot771 hour ago

The chief of police in Portland, Danielle Outlaw, should, along with mayor Ted Wheeler, be arrested, tried and convicted for actively promoting violence.

paul Gonzales1 hour ago

So do conservatives have to arm themselves with tazers and pepper spray for protection from these peaceful protesters?

Woah, Wheeler is Mayor AND POLICE COMMISSIONER?? SOMEONE IMPEACH THIS GUY FOR DERELICTION OF DUTY OR BRING TREASON CHARGES

I will NEVER vote for a Demoncrat again. It’s been 20 years and counting. Hasn’t been a good one since Kennedy and they killed their own then. A vote for Dems is a vote against our country and a vote for Communism!

The Dems are insane. So much for peaceful protests. Arrest them all and see if they are violent with other prisoners in jail. The snowflakes will melt there.

Yes, the Mayor Wheeler purposely allowed the attack. FRICKING SLIMEBALL WHEELER

It’s just bluster. There won’t be any federal consequences. Hopefully it does shed some light on ANTIFA’s violent behavior.

Good for you Ted Cruz! This is such a disgusting act. This is a glimpse of what life would be like if we became a socialist country. Antifa claims to fight against fascism, but THEY are actually fascists. The left ignores these kinds of attacks routinely because they want to suppress conservative values and oppress Republicans.

There’s simply not enough footage being shown in MSM about the sheer numbers in the streets in places like Portland. That’s not protesting – it’s unfettered chaos. No one in any position of responsibility for a city’s prosperity and its citizen’s well-being would allow these communist mobs to run amok unless they were at least sympathetic or at worst complicit. Senator Cruz is on point here.

Soros, titular head of the international left, can actually remember how powerful Hitler’s brown shirts were in 1930′s Germany. One may wonder if his current black shirts, Antifa, will receive the same fate as, the brown shirts when they were no longer useful to the National Socialist Workers Party. Research, the night of the long knives, for yourself.
