I don't know what he watches but he doesn't have a clue what's going in Portland...that's for damn sure! LOLYou think he watches news that reports news? Or what he wants to hear haYou mean like burning down federal courthouses?Just the beginning of collective repentance for the crimes of European settlers against Native American populations or a primitive "lightning rod" of the accumulated social protest?

Mayor Lori Lightfoot is planning to remove the controversial statue of Christopher Columbus from Chicago’s Grant Park as soon as Thursday night, in part to avoid another high-profile confrontation between police and protesters like the one that happened last week.
Protesters marched downtown last Friday then headed into Grant Park where a group of individuals attempted to take down the statue, similar to what’s happened in other cities across the country.
Chaos followed the protest as officers and demonstrators clashed around the statue. At least 20 complaints of police brutality were filed against Chicago cops, including one involving activist Miracle Boyd, who said she was hit in the face by a police officer during the skirmish in Grant Park, knocking out at least one of her teeth.
Chicago's statues of Columbus have become a heated controversy for Lightfoot, who has rejected calls to bring down monuments honoring Columbus.
She also has rejected calls to rename the Columbus Day holiday.
When you give into the mob, they don't take the victory and leave, they find the next thing to rabble rouse about.
Who burned down federal courthouses?
Come on, Lakhota! Anarchists in Portland have been trying to torch the Federal Courthouse there for the past week! Do you not watch the news? Or is it only CNN?
