Portland Democrat ‘Leaders’ Set to Go Full Useful Idiots Over Trump’s Troop Announcement
There's a saying that goes along the lines of how there are only two certainties in life: death and taxes.
But I think at this point that it's inarguable that there actually is a third certainty in life: Democrats doing Democrat things when push comes to shove.
A new report, in fact, suggests that is exactly what's about to happen in Portland, Oregon, in response to President Donald Trump's announcement about sending troops in to use "full force" if necessary in response to ongoing anti-ICE violence in the notoriously far-left, poorly-led blue city, some of which is reportedly being orchestrated by the leftist Antifa rioters that Democrats like to keep telling us don't exist.
RedState has been documenting for years how Democrat so-called "leaders" in Portland have, with rare exceptions, tended to side more often with the purported "peaceful protesters" who routinely wreak havoc on the city than the peaceful, law-abiding citizens who didn't vote for wokeness and chaos and who just want to be left alone to live and work in peace.
It's only gotten worse over the years, sadly, with one of the more recent incidents, which included bringing in a guillotine to an anti-ICE demonstration while playing a song with the lyrics "We got the guillotine, you better run" in the background, being among the many that likely led Trump to come to the decision he did.
And yet now, with Antifa said to be planning a "direct action" event at the Portland ICE facility on Sunday in response to the news, we're learning via Post Millennial investigative reporter Katie Daviscourt that Portland's Democrat Mayor, Keith Smith, and other nearby Democrat mayors, have allegedly drafted a letter that not only condemns Trump taking action but also vows as little help as possible.
It also touts the "legal resources" they will work to make available to illegal immigrants in the community and agitators alike:
Portland will be providing resources for legal support for protesters (Antifa) and will deploy human rights observers "to monitor, assess, and make determinations regarding the legality of federal action in respect to constitutional rights of assembly, protest, and free expression."
"We will use all legal tools at our disposal to deny our jurisdictions' personnel, equipment, facilities, and resources from any participation or support of militarized federal actions that target the civil rights of our community, including that of assembly, free expression, or protest unless directly required by local, state, or federal law."
