Ted wheeler is the biggest clown I've ever seen!

[crzystar]

His obligation is to elevate BLM!?!?!
He doesn’t care about the citizens of Portland Oregon, very baffling!?!?
Trump 2020!

This is Ted Wheeler shaking his finger at his riot buddies.

[TotesMAGoats]

After the body footage was leaked, I'm surprised anyone is protesting.

Two elderly ladies stand up against the mob??? Where are the police?

[leerogers]

This has been happening for 70 days. This guy has lost total control of the city. I thought he said this wouldn't happen once the feds left? Yesterday Ron Wyden said these people weren't a threat? These politicians need to be shamed Game of Thrones style.

Portland Citizens you your City your Mayor are being laughed at by the world

[robinroush]

I'm so embarrassed I lived in Portland (area) for 8 years. Always thought I'd go back to visit, but now, I have no interest in Oregon or Washington.

[jean-claudelol]

Mayor! Mayor! Mayor! What are you going to do about these rioters attempting to murder police officers? How long are you going to let this destruction and mayhem continue? This is 1, 000% on you Mr. Mayor!

Wow i thought jenny durkan was a bad mayor! She looks amazing by comparison. This is literally the worst mayor in america

[dailchristoson]

Start taking action or it will get done for you, and you'll be held responsible.

[itzmezoey]

You need to resine since you can't do your job

[NewsHistorian]

The mayor of Portland and Governor of Oregon are national jokes.

[ernieanddebievans]

Too late. You have set a bad precedent for how disputes will be handled in the future. Get use to it now. And, BTW Maayor Wheeler, they want you to resign too. Damn Feds, wait, they're gone...

[dchampion]

I wonder who wrote his speech. He had a hard time reading it.

[RoseRose-zmkj]

This is a good example of bad leadership. As a mayor I think one of your obligation is to protect ur people from harm and violence—to keep them safe...to make them feel safe. Prayers, Peace & love!! ♥️🙏🏻

[fastlane]

Your failure of protecting your city will be your demise.

[krissifaith]

History major here... I will be narrating about the most ridiculous mayor in US history and his "no thank you" letter to the president while his city suffered.

Bring back the Feds. They will get the job done
