New year, same s*it in Portland.
From Andy Ngô:
Antifa rioted in downtown Portland for New Years in a planned & pre-announced night of violence. They smashed up small businesses, started fires & even pushed outnumbered law enforcement back. #PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/MlBoJJSOU9

Remember when the media told us the violence was President Trump’s fault?
The local & national media said the riots were in response to federal officers protecting the courthouse. Those journalists know nothing about antifa & their true agenda. They’ve also been ignoring the riots that have continued since the election. https://t.co/yML94AzWvF

Police were outnumbered by the rioters:
