Trump sent the feds to quash Portland’s protests: What we know amid the nightly turmoil

July 25, 2020

Most Democrats in the state, including but not limited to: Portland's mayor and city commissioners, the governor, State Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley and Reps. Earl Blumenauer, Suzanne Bonamici, Kurt Schrader and Peter DeFazio,

Greg Walden, the state's only Republican member of Congress, has issued no public statement on the federal officers deployed to Portland.

State Senate Republican Leader Fred Girod has blamed "anarchists" for undermining peaceful protests in the city and said state Democrats have "failed all Oregonians by pandering to the violence."
