Portland Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler blamed President Donald Trump on Sunday for the violence in Portland after a right-wing protester was murdered last night. Wheeler’s attempt to deflect blame comes after he told Trump last week to “stay away” following the president offering federal assistance to end the violence in the city.
Wheeler lamented the fact that the president has been calling out the violence in Democratic-controlled cities, claiming that Trump was attacking the “very institutions of democracy that have served this nation well since its founding.”
