Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said Antifa rioters left tens of thousands of dollars in damage to businesses during their New Year’s Eve rampage. The mayor called for more enforcement and penalties after admitting the failures of his previous appeasement policies.
Mayor Wheeler said “violent Antifa and anarchists” “rampaged through downtown Portland causing tens of thousands of dollars of damage with spray painting, window breaking, fires and fireworks,” KOIN CBS6 reported. “It is hard for me to accept that there are some people who are just bent on destruction.”
