All the violence is the Mayor’s fault. He did it. We had nothing to do with it… In what has to be the most hilarious story since the start of the rioting six left-wing groups are demanding Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler resign. Perhaps for the first time we agree.
After a fatal shooting this weekend these groups are saying the mayor has “fundamentally failed” to keep the city safe. Duh, ya think? But you elected him… You supported him… And you did the rioting and the killing… And it’s all Mayor Stupid’s fault? Sure it is…
The groups issued a joint statement Sunday, “What took place last night was inevitable given Mayor Wheeler’s repeated failure… He has not protected or supported Portlanders. We do not have confidence in his ability to course-correct. He must resign.”
Interestingly they did not take any responsibility for the months of lawlessness. Who would a thunk dat dey wood?
Who is involved but not responsible?
The groups include the Oregon chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Oregon Justice Resource Center, the Portland Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Next Up Action Fund, Portland’s Resistance, and Popular Mobilization.
Mayor Stupid, aka Wheeler, is trying to pin the nightly outbursts of violence in his city on President Trump. Wheeler claims Trump has created “hate and division.” Anyone with half a brain would hates what is going on in Portland. There are continuous riot conditions. There are assaults, robberies, things being burned, property being destroyed and now executions of people the mob deems guilty of thought crime. Kinda like the days of the KKK in the antebellum south ain’t it?
Look, maybe Mayor Stupid is correct Trump isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But law and order in Portland is the responsibility of the mayor. If things get dicey the Mayor can reach out to the Governor. But, both the Mayor and the Governor are guilty of supporting and encouraging what is going on.
Members of the far-left groups said they’ve feared for the lives of residents under Wheeler’s leadership. That seems pretty cheeky. The groups responsible for the rioting are blaming the Mayor. It brings a smile to my lips. You can cut the hypocrisy with a knife. All the violence is the Mayor’s fault.
There’s an election coming
Olivia Katbi Smith, a co-chair of Portland’s Democratic Socialists of America said, “I don’t think we can see what happened last night in a vacuum or as an isolated incident… People are going to be killed on both sides of this because of the environment Ted Wheeler has been making in this city.” My, what an interesting position for AOC’s party to take… It is all Mayor Stupid’s fault… Really? Weren’t you or any of your people present at any of the goings on?
Rioting has been continuous for more than 90 consecutive days in Portland. Portland is starting to look like Beirut. City officials have said Wheeler has no plan for addressing violence in the city. Oregon Public Radio dud an interview with Mayor Stupid. In it he said his plan to quell the violence was to just “let it burn itself out.” All the violence is the Mayor’s fault.
Wheeler is up for reelection in November. So, Mr. Mayor how many dead bodies does it take to motivate you to act? Do you think dead bodies will dampen voter turnout? Do families with dead bodies get to cast extra ballots as compensation for their loss? How’s the economy of Portland coming? Which laws should Mayors and Governors allow police to enforce? Are there specific enforcement hours or days?
