If you can make Ann Coulter plausible for an instant you are doing something very wrong.
Faubus v. Eisenhower, a fight of the (last) century.
When reporting on the "protests," MSNBC and CNN invariably feature some area of Portland far from the carnage, showing people strolling, the sun shining, and not a single building on fire!
You'll never see the part of the city -- a little area called "downtown Portland" -- where thousands of black-clad antifa have been laying waste to everything in sight.
You won't see the miles of charming graffiti spray-painted on every vertical surface: "F--k Cops," "F--k ICE," "Abolish America," "No Good Cops," "Kill Cops," "Cops = Bastards," "Pigs!," "Yes All Cops," "Oink, Oink," "F--ck Trump," "Kill the Police," "Dead Cops," "Pigs," "Slaughterhouse Die Piggie Die," "Burn Pigs," and of course, the antifa slogan, "ACAB," or "All Cops Are Bastards."
Trump should say nothing about Portland except: "Look at the videos." I recommend you start with journalist Andy Ngo's Twitter feed: @MrAndyNgo.
After hiding the truth for 50 days, this week, Democrats and the media have been gasping in horror at the sight of federal law enforcement agents appearing in such a bucolic little burg.
Here's some of what's being hidden from you:
Night after night, the "peaceful protesters" have thrown bombs, bricks, frozen water bottles and cement blocks at the Portland police, whom they vastly outnumber. They've fired mortars, marbles, ball bearings and commercial-grade fireworks at officers, sending dozens to the hospital.
They have blinded police with laser guns, slashed their tires, assaulted journalists, and set fire to buildings, statues and homeless people's belongings.
So far, the rioters have done millions of dollars in property damage. In the first few days of July, shootings were up 240% compared to the same period in 2019.
Portland police precincts and the federal courthouse have been under constant siege -- windows smashed and people barricaded inside as the buildings are set ablaze.
Or, as summarized by Ali Velshi on the Antifa Channel: "While most protesters are peaceful, small groups have clashed with authorities."
