Dem Policies Put Lowest Number Of Cops On Streets In Years, Crime Rises 166%
The leading candidate of the Portland mayoral race, Sarah Iannarone, is a supporter of Antifa
The leading candidate of the Portland mayoral race, Sarah Iannarone, is a supporter of Antifa.
And considering Portland’s record of extreme unrest over the last few months, it seems quite fitting.
Iannarone has a lead over incumbent Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler 41 percent to 30 percent, according to a poll commissioned by the Portland Business Alliance, local paper Willamette Week reported on Monday.
Her lead is well outside the poll’s four-percentage-point margin of error, the Daily Caller reports. The poll also found that 16 percent of voters plan to support a write-in candidate and an additional 13 percent remain undecided.
Current mayor Ted Wheeler’s popularity has plummeted immensely since the first round of voting in May, when he won just under 50 percent of the vote, forcing a runoff between the two candidates.
Controversially, Iannarone is an open supporter of Antifa, a decentralized, far-left movement whose members have lashed out and unleashed violence in cities across the country in recent months.
“To those who say Antifa are violent thugs: I am not a violent thug and I am Antifa,” Iannarone wrote in a January 2019 tweet.
“I am Antifa because the Red Hats are coming after brown & black people, after Jews, after queer & trans people, and more. They are coming after our democracy,” she continued.
Iannarone’s campaign manager, a left-wing activist named Gregory McKelvey, led protestors in shutting down a Portland highway following the 2016 election, the Willamette Week reported, via the Daily Caller.
Iannarone has expressed support for the nightly unrest in the city, which has often turned into violent riots.
“My daughter was in the streets last night driven by anti-racist conviction. She is not an agitator nor an opportunist and she should not fear for her safety at the hands of Portland police,” she wrote in a May 31 tweet.
“Protests will continue in our city and across the country until our leaders address the problems racism, police brutality, and white supremacy undergirding our society,” she added in an accompanying statement.
Iannarone’s platform includes a “Housing for All” plan, as well as declaring a “climate emergency” and diverting funds from the city’s police department into social services.
If Iannarone wins the mayoral race, the city of Portland faces a future of even more unrest and violence.
But, only time will tell.
