National and Oregon Democrats are publicly coming to the aid of anarchists who have fueled violence and chaos in Portland for more than a month. Federal agents are detaining and arresting “violent anarchists” who have assaulted federal agents according to Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf. Democrats responded to the news by rushing to defend the anarchists and attack the Trump administration.
Videos posted to social media show federal agents detaining “violent criminals” but a report in the Washington Post claims agents are putting “protesters” into “unmarked” vehicles. Democrat leaders decided to take up the hyperbole of the lunatic left because it gave them a chance to pretend that President Trump is literally Hitler.
New York Senator Chuck Schumer responded to WaPo’s ANTIFA-friendly report by declaring the arrests “wrong” and calling for an investigation into who is responsible.
This is wrong, and must be investigated immediately to determine who is responsible.https://t.co/CBFls4iYXu

America First Projects Action Item:
Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley repeated the lie that those being arrested are “protesters” and tried to shift attention by saying:
If the political clowns in Oregon had managed the situation and been able to quell the violence, this level of federal force wouldn't be necessary. If liberal powderpuff tactics worked the feds wouldn't be there cleaning up your mess.

Acting Secretary Wolf was quick to dispel the notion that these weren’t “peaceful protesters” being rounded up as Democrats and the WaPo would have people believe.
Let’s get this right. “Protestors” imply they were peacefully exercising their 1st amendment rights. Instead, DHS officers were assaulted with lasers and frozen water bottles from violent criminals attempting to tear down federal property. 2 officers were injured. Facts matter. https://t.co/U2CdAT0c9G

Kamala Harris made her name as a cutthroat prosecutor and enforcer of the law in California but apparently anti-Trump hyperbole is greater than blatant hypocrisy. Another Democrat rushing to the aid of of ANTIFA.
This is right out of the authoritarian playbook. Americans have rights and they cannot be disregarded by unidentified uniformed agents. We need answers. Now.https://t.co/JlADJ2JwlI

For Acting Secretary Wolf the need for federal action was clear and this is how he made his case:
-violent anarchists have repeatedly thrown paint-filled balloons, rocks, and metal pipes at law enforcement officers
-violent anarchists have repeatedly torn down protective fencing around courthouses
-a violent anarchist assaulted federal law enforcement with a hammer

Oregon Governor Kate Brown and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler have allowed the siege to continue for nearly six weeks. Now, as federal agents are forced to clean up the mess and put an end to the “47-day siege” the local politicians are siding with the “violent anarchists.” Oregon Democrats are coming to the aid of the anarchists wrecking havoc in their jurisdictions. It’s shameful.
I told Acting Secretary Wolf that the federal government should remove all federal officers from our streets. His response showed me he is on a mission to provoke confrontation for political purposes. He is putting both Oregonians and local law enforcement officers in harm’s way.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler decided to reinforce the perception that he prefers to hide from problems by publicly stating that he wouldn’t meet with DHS officials even if they had asked.
A number of people have asked if I know DHS leadership is in town, and if I’m going to meet with them. We’re aware that they’re here. We wish they weren’t. We haven’t been invited to meet with them, and if we were , we would decline.

Had Mayor Wheeler been trustworthy enough for DHS leadership to meet with, he would have seen the demand for action.
These valiant men and women have defended our institutions of justice against violent anarchists for 48 straight days. We will prevail. pic.twitter.com/Qo9XoCyH2N

At this point, would anyone be surprised if Democrats start calling for all the charges to be dropped like America First Projects reported happened in Dallas?
