As far as I know, trump offered to send help but it was rejected by the same mayor who is now blaming Trump, at the same time the same mayor voted to defund and maybe even abolish the police. Its absolutely absurd
This guy is a real p.o.s.
3 months of peacefully burning vehicles.
@Chuck Finley If it was my attempt, you’d be 6 ft under with a funeral next week.
Trump is to blame for these problems. There’s literally nobody else to blame.
@Peter Griffin then go ahead and read about Evanston IL and other cities who are combating systemic racism on their own.
Illinois is billions of dollars in debt and Chicago and Evanston still found a way to set aside millions of dollars for African Americans.
So why can’t other cities?
Why blame the federal government if cities in the most broke state in the country can combat systemic racism?
@Peter Griffin the left is a religion.
You can never escape, so don’t even try.
@Peter Griffin this is going well for you.
Let’s try Round 2
Do you blame Trump for the spread of the Coronavirus?
@Peter Griffin where did you go beeeitch
You cant turn down help on Friday and blame him for the problem on Sunday.
“We must stop Politicizing this”
*Proceeds to politicize it.*
Lol
For real, the guy is two faced and lier as only leftist politicians can be.
Excuse me Sir/Madam
Are you saved?
If you died tonight are you going to heaven? Jesus loves you.
Now he cares because the protesters came right to his home and the police didn’t respond. What a POS!
SleepingGiants Sister Portland mayor is a psychopath. Wrecking his city and blaming everyone else. He’ll take responsibility with nobody to help him.
So now he wants to stop the violence after 3 months only after the rioters have a sit-in in his Condo. Nothing to do with the murders.
I remember when his mob the protesters were spitting @ him… he’s a scared & paid off politician
like 45
@MrToofunny7 clever.
You must be the smartest kid in the 1st grade.
Ok but he’s right 😂
Mayor incompetent! So much incompetence that he’s blind to see it
“I take responsibility ” Proceeds to blame everbody but himself.
John Smith My comment meant, that Hillary used the same tactic. She took responsibility for losing the election, there turns around and has blamed every one else since then. I hope that clarifies my post.
I am criticizing the Portland mayor.
Kelly You’re deflecting, like Ted.
Kelly Actually we’ll just say you did a “Ted”.
And then flees the city like a coward and abandons his constituents.
wheeler is a loosers…who is attacking you! wake the fup..
He totally distort all the facts in covering up his total failure in keeping his city safe for everyone. Only senseless and extreme brutal and violent thugs support him.
Ted Wheeler: Everything that happened is because of my inaction but I’m going to blame someone else anyway.
Hilarious how he doubles down on the “blame Trump” messaging. He’s so deep in the Left, he’s lost touch with common sense and reality.
You sound just like the Disaster Called Trump. And Trump has certainly taken you for a fool.
Funny he thinks he can share values with thugs.
But as you know you gave up your Values for the Disaster Called Trump and he has taken you for a fool.
@Rich Mercado I didn’t vote him in, but Id rather my city not turn into Portland or south Chicago.
@Naui Diver Turn into? Chicago ain’t boarded up friend.
So this is like listening to the Arsonist Who is blaming, the FIREFIGHTER !
Ok let’s see you fix this
@Sekeriya Sharif are you special?
Sekeriya Sharif are you special?
@A water guy. We are all special in gods eye
The President has way less assets in the city of Portland. Wheeler could have stops the chaos in the first 48hrs. and did nothing. Facts! Wheeler you are a fake and we all know it!
“Incident happened as trump supporters clashed with protesters” ummm did you watch the video or are you just blatantly lying to the public. This is the problem. Hold your local officials accountable.
YES! HE IS BLATANTLY LYING ABOUT EVERYTHING!
It’s amazing how someone so pathetic and awful could become a mayor in a major city. Utter fool.
Now the “protesters” want the Mayor to resign
So he spent 3 minutes out of 6 minutes blaming the President. What a total loser.
Ted Wheeler is a total joke of a mayor. Too bad the citizens of Portland had to find out about Wheeler’s inadequacies like this.
Too scared of leftist extremists to take a stand.
Too scared do the right thing for the citizens of Portland.
Too scared to ask for help.
Not too scared to point fingers and blame others.
Truman: “The Buck Stops here”
Wheeler: “I’ll pass!”
Wheeler isn’t qualified to be the mayor of Sesame Street
Reggie Wallace
He’s such a lefty.
