8/29/20: In Portland, Oregon gunfire erupts Saturday night. One person is killed, this time an individual wearing a “Patriot Prayer” hat, marking him as a member of a far-right group that has clashed repeatedly with protesters.
A truck caravan, stretching for miles, carrying hundreds of Trump supporters, had entered the city earlier, and clashes spread.
Almost
as if the president wanted it that way…
ELIZABETH NEUMANN, who stepped down in April as assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), recently faulted the president for attacks on “Democratic-led cities” and his talk of lawlessness, supposedly tolerated and even encouraged by his political foes. Neumann, a Republican, says Trump’s words are helping fuel a potential race war. “It is completely a sideshow to distract from the real threat and it’s extremely dangerous.”
Neumann notes that the F.B.I. has made multiple arrests at peaceful protests in recent months, with right-wing extremists coming in to try to stir trouble. More Americans have been killed in the last five years, by white supremacists, she says, than by all other terrorist groups combined.
The greatest domestic threat we face today, she insists is “right-wing extremism,” not Antifa.
