#OccupyIcePDX Gets Destroyed In Portland

As I said at the League of the South national conference, we should cut Antifa out of our public events. It makes more sense to let this nuisance aggravate conservatives:

“House Republican leaders plan to hold a vote on a liberal bill to abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency — forcing Democrats to weigh in on a controversial issue that has divided the party just months before the midterms.

“We can have a debate,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters Thursday, adding that the vote would occur before the August recess. ….

The proposals, which have become a rallying cry on the left, aren’t supported by party leaders or moderates, who warn it threatens to alienate independent voters in critical districts they need to win back the House.

Multiple GOP sources said House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) pushed for the “Abolish ICE“ bill to get a vote during a Republican Study Committee meeting Thursday, then again in a whip team huddle.

GOP members loved the idea: putting Democrats on record backing a measure that could turn off swing voters — or voting no and rebuking their own colleagues. It would also be an easy unifier for House Republicans, who are still licking their wounds from their own divisive immigration battle last month.

Republican leadership aides say a floor vote is likely later this month …”

We should stay out of it. Let them get arrested while we change tactics:

Antifa haven’t had anything to do this summer since the Alt-Right stopped engaging with them. They have been self-destructing in these anti-ICE protests. The GOP is even gleefully planning to hold a vote this fall on abolishing ICE in order to make the Democrats look bad.

Note: Antifa have been getting the soy beat out of them in Portland.
