Portland braced for a rally of far-right groups protesting left-wing organizations Saturday, while Pres. Trump weighed in on the controversy.
Portland, a city so closely associated with liberal hipsters it inspired the parody show"Portlandia," braced for a rally of far-right groups protesting left-wing organizations Saturday, while President Donald Trump weighed in on the controversy.
Members of other far-right extremist groups, including the American Guard, the Three Percenters and the Daily Stormers, were also expected to attend in the hopes of declaring militant leftists, or anti-fascists, or"anitfa," a domestic terrorist group.One right-wing militia group, Oath Keepers, disavowed the rally for fears of being associated with white supremacists.
"Major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an 'ORGANIZATION OF TERROR,'" the tweet read."Hopefully the Mayor will be able to properly do his job!"
