When Portland, Oregon, Mayor Ted Wheeler joined Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters Wednesday night in front of the boarded-up and graffitied federal courthouse in his city, he might have expected a little love for his hands-off approach to some 55 days of violent demonstrations.
The Democrat, after all, has called on federal authorities to either remain in federal buildings or leave the city, describing the agents as a "personal army" for President Trump.
But on the streets Wednesday night, demonstrators cursed him and insisted he resign before he was tear-gassed by police, reported Oregon Public Broadcasting.
OPB said the mayor's appearance was prompted by a weekend editorial in the left-leaning Portland Tribune calling on him and other leaders to go listen to the demonstrators.
