She is part of the problem, as far as I'm concerned. And there are plenty of more just like her. But the worst part is that a large handful of leftist mayors and governors are doing the same, supporting antifa and any associated violence, all so that they could blame Trump in the end.
They keep talking about how peaceful they are, how racist others are, how the police created the issues and continue to spark the riots... they are out condemning everyone but those causing the problem. It's clear as day to many.
And yesterday - once again, young women line up towards the front, and cameras of course. All put on yellow t-shirts about how they are Moms and this that and the other crap. Wearing helmets with goggles attached and wearing loaded book bags... more bullshit and these nitwits thinking wearing a bunch of matching t-shirts will magically convince others.

Oregon Governor Refuses to Explain Why She Didn’t Condemn Antifa
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) on Friday refused to explain why she has condemned “armed white supremacists” but not Antifa after an explosion of violence in Portland, telling reporters that her primary goal centers around “eradicating racism.”
Following the fatal shooting of Trump supporter Aaron J. Danielson at the hands of a self-identified member of Antifa, Brown released a statement condemning “right-wing vigilantes” and “armed white supremacists” for the escalation of violence in Portland. She did not mention Antifa in her condemnatory statement, prompting questions.
“We’ve had some viewers ask why your anti-violence statement this week about ongoing unrest in Portland mentioned white supremacy but did not also include mention of groups like Antifa and other bad actors. Why was that?” a reporter asked Brown at the close of Friday’s press briefing.
The governor refused to answer the question directly, telling the reporter that she is focused on building a “better Oregon” by “eradicating racism”:
So the first question is why did I specifically hold out white supremacist organizations? Because my goal, my vision for a future Oregon is to build a better Oregon where everyone can thrive and that means eradicating racism. And so my understanding of these organizations is they’re based on hate and I think it makes it really difficult for us to build what Dr. King would call a beloved community.
“Just to follow up would you plan to address issues with Antifa as well?” the reporter pressed.
Again, Brown refused to provide an explanation as to why she did not explicitly reprimand Antifa in her Sunday statement and did not use the opportunity to condemn the group.
“We will continue to work with the community to make sure that folks understand that our goal here is to stop the violence directed toward property, to stop the arson, and obviously stop the person-to-person violence that’s happening, yes,” she responded.
In her controversial Sunday statement, Brown stated that “the right-wing group Patriot Prayer and self-proclaimed militia members drove into downtown Portland last night, armed and looking for a fight.”
She added that she would “not allow Patriot Prayer and armed white supremacists to bring more bloodshed to our streets.”
“Time and again, from Charlottesville to Kenosha to Portland, we have seen the tragic outcome when armed right-wing vigilantes take matters into their own hands,” she continued. “Gun violence is never, ever the answer.”
