White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany ripped Democratic lawmakers and members of the mainstream media during her briefing Friday; saying most of them “continue to ignore reality” regarding anti-police protests.
“Some Democrats and some in the media continue to ignore reality… The Democrat Mayor of Portland literally stood in the middle of a riot. He’s clearly failing to protect his streets. The Federal Government has a sworn duty to uphold the laws of the United States,” said the Press Secretary.

“Nancy Pelosi is calling federal agents ‘Stormtroopers.’ Rhetoric like this cannot be allowed to set us back. Our brave officers have faced rioters, barricades, trapping officers, and worse,” she added.

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.
