Portland City Commissioner BLAMES POLICE FOR FIRES Set By ANTIFA Terrorists During Riots

Portland’s City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty accused the police, not rioters who had set fires around government buildings, of sending in “saboteurs” amid the riots. Backlash from the police caused her to retract her baseless claim hours later with an apology, according to The Oregonian.

“Portland police have consistently lied to the public. They’ve lied to our congressional delegation about whether or not they were coordinating activities with this federal secret police force,” Hardesty said during a webinar hosted by Western States Center, which tracks “extremism” in the Pacific Northwest.
