I don’t know if these left wing, big city mayors are competing on who can be the dumbest, worst mayors in the country but it certainly seems like a contest. Take communist Ted Wheeler, Mayor of Portland. With all the violence, and near nightly riots in that filthbag of a city, Wheeler is blaming the Department of Homeland security. Not AntiFA or Black Lives Matter terrorists who are rioting.

Portland, Oregon has had a tumultuous year between Antifa riots and the new wave of unrest following the police-involved death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd.
As looters and rioters have cost Portland businesses a reported $23 million, Mayor Ted Wheeler said Tuesday that his “biggest immediate concern” was not the criminals destroying the city, but federal officials from the Department of Homeland Security and their alleged “violence” and “life-threatening tactics.”
Wheeler said DHS Acting Secretary Chad Wolf reached out to him about the unrest in Portland and asked how the federal agency could help.
“Today the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security asked to speak with me about demonstration activity in Portland. He expressed his concern about ongoing violence and asked how his agency can help,” Wheeler said.
The mayor then said he denied Wolf’s help and blamed the federal agency for the violence in Portland.
“I told the Acting Secretary that my biggest immediate concern is the violence federal officers brought to our streets in recent days, and the life-threatening tactics his agents use. We do not need or want their help,” Wheeler tweeted.
