A leading Democrat from Memphis, Tennessee slammed anti-police protesters and rioters during a fiery speech this week; asking “What kind of people have we become that we can’t protect our own stuff?”
“We act like a bunch of punks, too frightened to stand up and protect our own stuff! You tell me that somebody has the right to tear down property that Tennessee taxpayers paid for? That American taxpayers paid for? Somebody has the right to destroy it? What kind of people have we become that we can’t protect our own stuff?!” asked Rep. John Deberry Jr.
Tennessee Democrat says Americans must have the courage to stand for law and order and to defend what is right.

PORTLAND SPIRALS: Far-Left Mayor Blames ‘FEDERAL TROOPS’ for Violence, Vandalism in His City
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler bizarrely blamed “Federal Troops” for the current violence sweeping his city; saying their “tactics” are “making the situation much more dangerous” for local residents.
“Before the Federal Troops got here, violence was way down, vandalism was way down… The energy was coming out of the demonstrations. What happened is the troops came in, they used their Unconstitutional tactics, they injured non-violent demonstrators, and the whole thing blew up again,” said Wheeler.
