of"fanning the flames of hate and division in our society" as other Democratic leaders condemn the violence.in Oregon's largest city entered their fourth month.
Police stand guard in Portland, Oregon, on Aug. 29, 2020. One person was shot and killed Saturday night in Portland as a large caravan of President Donald Trump supporters clashed in the streets with Black Lives Matter protesters. It wasn't clear if the deadly shooting was linked to the demonstrations.
"Portland Police responded to scenes of fights, disturbances and collisions throughout downtown and made some arrests," police said in a statement early Sunday.The caravan of vehicles left the downtown area by about 8:30 p.m. local time, according to police. Over the next two hours, groups of people moved through downtown streets and there was"sporadic fighting and vandalism," police said. The crowds slowly began to dissipate around midnight.
Trump took to Twitter early Sunday to comment on the latest violence in Portland, calling the city's mayor"incompetent" and"a fool." Whilea video that purportedly showed Trump supporters in their cars firing paintballs and pepper spray at counterprotesters on the street, the president said that the"big backlash going on in Portland cannot be unexpected."
What? ALL the violence is being perpetrated by the radical left. bizzare and not based in reality mayor of Portland.
So true !!! stop the violence!! only if it was that easy ! just say stop the violence......
You are not going to not stop the murdering esau edom because the Rothschild family is pushing this king albert plan like your elites corporation Rothschild impostor ish billionaire family tells you to do don't believe you deciver y'all want this to be
Not going to happen Ted. You didn’t ask nice enough.
TheView You are a good person. You are rational and I hope people will heed your requests. Stay safe. You are a great mayor.
To quote the famous philosopher Tanya Tucker - “it’s a little too late to do the right thing now”.
Hahaha!
A little to late mayortedwheeler should have called for that 2 months ago! And accepted the federal help!
What a useless “doos “ - a term used in Africa to reveal totally incompetent and useless individuals
Then accept Trump’s help😑
I applaud you for your speech that's a great. Less people more help 👏👏👏👍👍.
Ted Wheeler you are so wrong to be blaming the President for any wrong doing in you country. Time to tell the truth. Don't politize your Kenosha city and blame republicans. It is your democrat friends fella. They did not address the rioting at their lousy convention. Proof.
HOW ABOUT STOP BREAKING THE LAW AND RESISTING ARREST? EVER THOUGHT ABOUT TRYING THAT?
Because the polls said so. Fucking hypocrisy at it’s finest
Just so we’re clear, every one of the stealing, assaulting, burning mob monsters are BIDEN SUPPORTERS! BidenRiots GoodTryJoe
The Democrat Governor & Mayor encouraged violent criminal actions by Democrat activists, BLM & Antifa, for more than 90 days. They have blood on their hands; they ARE the problem.
A lot late don’t you think mayor. Someone put a pair of balls in your underwear last night I see. Hope they stay there.
The weakest Mayor in US history.
Y’all acting surprised when they start shooting back at the trucks firing pepper spray and paint balls while barreling through crowds. Where the hell did you think this was going? Has nobody heard of the concept of escalation?
TheView Where was any of this when it started?
You guys report the idiotic letter that tedwheeler sent to realDonaldTrump the other day? The ONLY people to blame for the disaster that is Portland are the enabling Mayor and OregonGovBrown. Day one of the riots - maintain order and it ends.
TheView Mayor Wheeler, YOU address the issues that brought the people to the streets and THAT will end the protests and the violence. FIX the problem. imo mym
to late for that idiot
When Dems see poll numbers going the wrong way, they organize to pretend to care
The US is so fucked up. Systematic social injustices mass unemployment an out of control virus a Potus that is uneducated greedy narcissistic and dangerous.The US is as broken as Iraq was during the gulf war. It will no longer be seen as a global power for good. Sad
Yet he blames for president for HIS FAILURES.
Tell that to the Trump supporters. There were no deaths until they drove through the crowd. They did that to start trouble.
He blames Trump for his failure to protect his city from the protests turned violent... Did he forget he has prevented the police from restoring law & order and allowed his city to be looted & burned. He is spineless. Denver’s mayor makes him look like the fool
Hey Ted, you're the Mayor of Portland which makes you responsible for it's citizens and their safety. As the Mayor you turned Trump's offer to help down in more than one occasion. Go do your damn job and quit blaming Trump for your failures.
If “we all saw this coming” WHY THE FUCK DID YOU LET IT HAPPEN?
He's about 80 days to late
BidenRiots
Good luck with that. Politics over leadership with this Mayor. truth
What a clown!!! Man up and do something
Ted: Please stop, paleeese.
Gee....took him long enough.
What a joke. So these leftists go out and cause all the chaos, are embraced by the democrat party and now y’all turn around and say it is Trump🤔. Typical. Create the environment, blame the other side and win over the idiots. Sorry won’t work.
Bring in the National Guard - Words are hollow
Your the governor not the president
Why stop? Continue. Those domestic terrorist sponsored by Democrats and islamist terrorist organisations burning, looting, Killing and stealing from American people deserve no mercy. Democrats must pay dearly for destroying American cities.
Other responses keep bringing up systemic racism assuming it exists let’s look at where cities controlled by dems for 100 years & blue states.
This guy denied Trump’s help to stop the riots and blames Trump for the riots
this weak pathetic sad excuse for a male was silent & compliant at the beginning of the violence. Funny after the anarchists targeted him & Americans are starting to fight back he’s now against them.
Atta boy, pussy.
The republicans want the violence and are firing it up
How do you sleep at night Ted Wheeler? DEMOCRAT!!!!
BIDEN America
realDonaldTrump FoxFriendsFirst
How can he say this when he encouraged it and refused help? WheelerResign tedwheelerresign TedWheelerMustResign TedWheelerDoNothingMayor
All the other rioting etc didn’t matter?
It's not political, but I'm going to get VERY political in my triggered loser speech. Hypocrisy is the democratic way.
Dems 2020 message : Blame Trump. When asked how they would fix it...blame Trump. No solutions.
Este asqueroso sinverguenza,debería estar en la cárcel ,x alentar los asesinados👎👎👎
Democratic Party people always say the correct words, but useless. Therefore, they are called 'do nothing party'.
Its sad that protesters don't realize the spreader of hate, fear, intolerance and racism has sent his supporters to rile things up for his law and order campaign to scare white people into voting for him and create campaign commercials for looping over and over and over on Fox.
You ignore, protect & outright lie about the involvement of the 2 consistent violators, BLM & Antifa. You refuse aid, STILL, to get it under control & protect innocent lives. Now you state 'both sides' need to stop. And you blame Trump for your failures. Incompetent & delusional.
Good job tedwheeler now practice what you preach and uproot the corruption of your police force while you’re at it.
Need to get tough on the anarchist, looters, gangs, thugs, loosers, professional welfare food stamp druggies and take back a once great city! Look what your pathetic non leadership has done! Misery, pain, death to victims ! Resign and let a real leader take over!
Pass a law against the killing of blacks, it will end every thing.
dismisstrump1 Mr. Mayor send message to source of violence on streets across country- 'Donald the agitator'
That’s not what he said just prior only quoting the one descent part where he lies. Wheeler corrupt 😡
Very well said, does he also know what to do in order to stop this senseless violence, or is he only preaching? Where is the National Guard?
It only took Ted Wheeler 2 months to say this,shame on him, he should resign immediately
This dude is a 🤡🤡🤡🤡
🤩 👏🏻
Nope not The Presidents Fault. This Burning Looting and Murdering is the idea of The Cities to do and they laughed when Jay Bishop died, what do you say to that? They have REFUSED Federal Assistance so this blood is on their hands.
TheView Mayor Wheeler sounds so intelligent and he told the TRUTH about evil Trump. He was so spot on I had to applaud him long & loudly!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥💯 He didn't mix words or go around the bush! Yeah!❤
TheView Trump opens his mouth & what exits out of it is a rhetoric that stokes this type of trouble. Every time. He says to put an end to the violence but instead he riles those people up so much that more shootings, more violence occurs. He's not the ethical moral person he claimed.
.tedwheeler so they red painted your condos and now you're denouncing .POTUS when he offered to assist Portland prior to a death! You supported Antifa/BLM for 3 MONTHS AND DID NOTHING! Now you want local LE to stand by you when you told them to stand down! YOU are the PROBLEM!
Murderers calling protesters criminals and calling for 'LAW & ORDER'. Absurdity has outpaced stupidity.
100 days of violence. Arrest him DHSgov
So this about President Trump....🤔he's wants blame President Trump?
Well, that should take care of it. 😐 😑
Nobody that I 'm aware of is saying anything about retribution.....
You broke it, you buy it tedwheeler
TheView Thank you Mayor Wheeler for trying to let EVERYONE know they should feel a responsibility to end this nonsense. Violence begats violence. Allow the peaceful protest but in the words of Jesus “those who Take the sword shall perish with the sword” thisLandWasMadeForYouAndMe.
I am sure Satan and his BLM and Antifa followers are going to listen to Mr Wheeler and then say, 'OK, we are going to be peaceful now' 'Sorry about all the violence' 'Since you asked we will stop now'
Why is he just now saying this?
This should work just fine, seeing as everybody burning our city down can be appealed to with reason. Thanks, Ted. You and Pontius both clean as a whistle
LOL, that’ll work. “Pretty, pretty please with sugar on top”
You can thank Trump for the chaos.
This man is the first elected official in America who has said it how is. It is time other public officials stood up in public and be counted, speaking in pubic. This guy has does all a real pubic service, he has balls.
YES WE ALL SAW THIS COMIN! systematicinjustice
finally!
You give the Left your Left Leg, they will take your Left Leg and eat your Right Leg as well. Go read some history and see what I am talking about.
How many people have to die before Wheeler will start to shut this down? Two people had to die in Seattle. 👮♂️🗽🇺🇸
Why, then, did Wheeler continually and smugly refuse HELP in ending the violence and basically tell Trump to butt out? DemocRATS cause the problem and them blame everyone else for the consequences. Typical.
Start by prosecuting the brutal, violent PPB thugs.
TheView After how many months of violence does this wuss take a stand? Another Pelosi castrated pol.
“In a disgusting display of partisanship, Mayor wheeler blamed a murder victim and his friends for the violence by communist thugs that has gone unchecked in Portland for over 100 days.” Fixed it for you.
A bit late cupcake
What the summer of live wasn’t a love fest!! I’m shock!
Little late ...
Impeach Trump and everything will calm down.
Took these people how long? But no, he’s blaming Trump. Cmon man!!!
Definitely great talk. Also like you said “ THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!!!! “ He got to go where he belongs!!!!! AMERICA AND AMERICANS DON’t WANT THE DEVIL!!!!!!!!!
He is a domestic terrorist leader.
Just another Democrat trying to drive his state and city into the shit hole!
You need to resign, you have lost control of the city.
This is on you. Don’t deflect
Wow! Is RipVanWheeler waking up? Three months is a long time ignore your disastrous city carnage. I am beginning to see a trend amongst democrats now that they’re grasping at straws.
RESIGN!!
MargieDemocracy Three months late and millions and millions of dollars short. Worthless Wheeler go back in your apartment! Trump2020 TrumpPence2020 Trump2020LandslideVictory
Ted Wheeler should be investigated and prosecuted for his failure to protect the business and citizens of his city.
Send in the army NOW
It’s a little late Dems!! I know the polls are starting to show this is a problem for you but you’ve had months to fix it. And next you will demand us taxpayers pay to rebuild your burnt cities! No thanks! Trump2020
This epic Failure is an embarrassing stain on the once great City of Portland. DeBlasio, Lightfoot, Wheeler. Why do people torture themselves by voting DEMOCRAT.
This prick Wheeler has let this get out of hand for 3 months, now he is scared because he is afraid of people in his own community taking care of law amd order. I watch this ass talking today. His a joke, if he can't control the city then resign.
Weakling Wheeler ---- Thank You for being the best Trump Re-Election Advocate since hideous, satanic Nancy Pelosi -- TEMP 202Q !
You are allowing these criminal anarchist to run over the citizens and the city you were sworn to protect. You are the reason for the continued violence when all you had to do was your job. You have completely failed and should resign.
Weak Failure Wheeler.
Resign!!!!!!
Best speech ever since protesting began. Really hit Trump with his words that landed! He was direct and firm. Biden or Harris should have done that.
Ted Wheeler is worthless.
Maybe enforce the law, and the violence would stop. Useless.
I’m confused. Is he inferring there’s been other violence over the past few months?
Oh that should end the 50 days of lawless. Does anyone living in Portland nor care about what's happening?
kcpincary This is trumps America
TheView Only about 3 months too late!
First of all: you're parents should be ashamed of raising such a worthless son.. Second: Put on a tie
Well its about damn time
Gee, already? It’s only been going on for a couple months now. We were just getting started!!
Guys a disgrace his city has been burning for a few weeks now and this is all he says....
WHAT A TRUMP COWARD RUNS LIKE A DOG WITH HIS TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS SUCH A TOUGH GUY WITH A GUN TURN YOURSELF IN COWARD TAKE IT LIKE A MAN NOW
Ummmm can we stop both sidings this. Armed white men can go into neighborhood, shoot and mace people on the Streets and then be surprised that someone retaliates. A black man exists and can be murdered by white men and police officers. These are not the same
What took you so long?
ANTIFA/RIOTS/ARSONISTS/LOOTERS/TRAITORS/PROTESTERS/CROOKS/ LOOTING HAS CAUSED MORE THAN 7 million (FBI) NEW GUN OWNERS, over 15 TIMES MORE THAN ALL PROTESTERS IN 2020. WE ARE THE Police NOW? Nobody wants gun control now!! TRUMP HAS WON THE ELECTION!
He came late to the party.
Both the left and right hate him
tedwheeler You’re full of it. You don’t stand with the man from last night. You can’t even say his name. It’s JAY BISHOP!!!!!! ResignWheeler
What a slow and ineffective mayor. He has proven to not know what to do.
His words are met with deaf ears. On all sides
Terrible Trump is creating so much violence on his watch. He had four years to make America a better place and he totally failed! America is more divided then ever!
Agreed, foder for Russa psychological warfare on USA
A little late for this
Let’s get this straight........ Liberal groups, rioting in liberal cities, with liberal mayors, and liberal city councils, promoting radical liberal causes, and supported by liberal money: Media - “Trump did it!” BidenRiots
Where was he 94 days ago. Sad. What a clown!
There is violence in this country on both sides of the great political divide fostered by the current president and supported by Putin. This environment is exactly what Trump needs to finish toppling our democracy. You hate; you enable him. Period.
We need some common ground. We are all Americans, let’s love that, together.
Him first
liberal cities have been burning for 60 years. weak liberal leaders and their policies are destroying their cities
Denouncing the violence won’t do shit!!!
Own up to what you have done to the city of Portland Wheeler!
Really.
Nearly 100 days of criminal activity and violence and now he wants change. Do the Democrats ever do anything for the good of the American people and not for political gain?
You capitulate to the mob, you get mob rule
Clueless Ted
Calls for unity after blaming everything on Trump, pretty insincere...
Worst Maire ever!
Well said!
Why did you turn down the President’s offer of Federal assistance?
This is why the Democrat mascot is a jackass. BidenRiots
Trumps only goal: become dictator of US. He has asked for Putin’s help to overthrow “stupid” Americans. If we think we have trouble now, we have not begun to see his wrath. Save our USA & vote out Trump & GOP supporters!! Do NOT let them lie & suppress us!
Worthless
TheView Did focus groups and polls tell you that you finally needed to speak out? Pathetic
BRAVO, FOR FINALLY TELLING TRUMP. HE IS THE CAUSE OF ALL THIS VIOLENCE!!👏👏👏👏💙💙💙👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏💙💙💙💙💙👍👍👍👍👍👍
Patrick18Joseph Trump will not call on his base to stop the violence. Trump has initiated the violence and brought America to her knees.
Is he just learning about the nightly torching of his city by leftists
You say that but disrespect our President? Your town killed one of his supporters and you BLAME HIM. You are an A$$....you need help there ask for it!
👏👏👏👏It’s about time! Now let’s hope others follow.
Yup. That should do it.
He is an absolute joke! And him ‘calling’ for people to end the violence —- as if any single person, thug or otherwise gives him an ounce of respect to listen. Step down Wheeler, you’ve done enough damage!
That’s weak. He doesn’t want to pick sides. We know which side he’s really on, don’t we?
Wut?, thought they were peaceful protests
Say his name!
Great Mayor!
Negotiating with terrorists
He just looks happy.
Thanks 🙏 mayor tedwheeler Trump cannot believe someone stood up and told him the truth, he’s the instigator ‼️💯 TrumpRiots TrumpViolence TrumpIsUnwell
For four years we listened to Trump’s divisive rhetoric. This is exactly what he wants
Can you post the part where he raged against President Trump, citing several hoaxes?
Wow But the Democrats are loving all this violence and destruction. They are enemies of America and wants to destroy America
FlushTheTurdNov3rd make it tend
Now?
How do these fools get elected?
This 🤡is blaming Trump for his failure to control his own city. tedwheeler This doesn't help and is unproductive.
TheView You’re happy ass has had months and you haven’t done shit!!!!!!
Your police escorted these people into Portland. Foh.
The blood is on this dumbass mayor's hands 👐.. It's always the blue dem states that let this bs happen and won't stop it! Vote Trump no matter what
Yes we do. We need to vote the arsenic firefighter out of the WH as someone I heard recently said. With Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the WH we will have justice for all people because they’re honorable people not creating/exploiting situations in order to confuse/ divide us.
And after how many months of nightly rioting, is anyone going to listen to Portland's inept, incompetent and irrelevant mayor now?
😂😂
Weak mayor
He’s right though.
He isn't wrong. But America is Gun happy so expect the Violence.
and on top of this, for THREE MONTHS of this horror - you REFUSED NATIONAL GUARD ASSISTANCE - yes - they definitely have some major blackmail on you
Now he is going to try and stop it....what took him so long?
Weakness personified...
Too little too late. You've got blood on your hands tedwheeler
Weak leadership
He does this now
He should have been saying this after those two kids died awhile back 🙄
Begging people to stop committing crimes isn’t working to well is it? It’s almost like you need some type of law enforcement
Too late.
Mayor Ted Wheeler is pretty brain dead, but he sounds like a genius compared to some of the other winners in Portland, like this clown ...
Good lord. What a farce. Couldn’t do this months ago...?
I remember when Trump used 'both sides' in Charlotteville and Democrats and the left lost their freaking minds. Now, they say the exact same thing...yet silence from those same people. Democrats suck.
What caused him to suddenly change his mind? He's been pushing the violent rioting for months. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
He encouraged and openly allowed this violence. He is a horrible leader and a worthless human. Disgusting what he has allowed.
tedwheeler Resign
Now that he knows he will be voted out! Had assistance, blamed Trump. Removed assistance, blamed Trump... see a pattern
The man is clueless!
Resister against MAG. It's starting to look like the Bloods and the Crips... remember back in the 1980s and 90s end the violence people! Quit shooting at each other you're making the gangsters look good! PortlandProtests
He stood with them until today. Nice try to change the optics.
He blamed Trump 😂😂😂 What a douche! His city... he’s pandering and has no clue how to stop the madness! Portland is a total shot hole now and I feel bad for the residents! Vote him out!
That’s going to work.
That’s literally HIS JOB!! After 90 days, he’s failed. Ted, resign and let the professionals fix the problems.
And then. He went on to blame trump. So close to sanity
does that mean the press is going to end its stochastic violence against liberalism? No? Well bin salman has a plan to end that violence. any objections?
90 days letter after the Binden numbers collapse he gets a call from he Dems
Trumps organized militia is doing their best to start a civil war. I say trumps because he’s sponsoring it...with hired mercs...there’s no way red neck MAGATS are this organized.
Ted What are we to take from your last 12 weeks of violence u allowed on your streets. And told the police to stay away. America has suffered from your corruption.America ask u to resign.
Tsk! Tsk!
This response is typical and plays it safe. a politician calls on both sides to stop the violence, but won't call on LEOs to stop murdering unarmed citizens.
Friggin' Ted is a Trip Trump told Ted he would end it. Just say the word. Get on the horn to Trump. MikayesFiona
I think he get instruction from Putin to tear down this country and know one can see it even the agitators that are helping him our own Americans attacking Americans this is not our USA
Oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no nobody saw this coming accept zodiac............ And you heard me screaming very very very very loudly a Gemini is at the HELMS............ hes going to destroy America isn't that right Twitter
'It doesn't matter who you are or what your politics are. We have to all stop the violence.' Translation: Before it gets Trump reelected.
How many days of protest and violence did it take him to say this! worstmayorever
Poor leader. Any one who blames others for their issues is incompetent. Allow peaceful protest, arrest ALL others , who loot, deface, and harm others. Period. By him backing down it shows how weak he is.
So, For 3 MONTHS he refused to stop and sometimes sided with the Democratic Marxist burning his city... He refused to let police arrest them or accept help.. So now when the Polls show Biden sliding... he tries to blame Trump. Mayors and Governors run Cities and States
90 days later.
Yea it’s Trump fault that this mayor didn’t have his police department in check lol.
Who burning neighbors, smashing cars, and shooting others just because of a hat?
