The silence from Democrats over the left-wing violence unfolding in American cities like Portland is deafening. To make matters worse, when they do finally speak up, their words are an insult to our intelligence.
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who pushed the Russia hoax for three years, was recently asked about Antifa violence in Portland, and said with a straight face that it’s a “myth.”
Tristan Justice writes at The Federalist:
Rep. Jerry Nadler Brushes Off Antifa Violence As A ‘Myth’New York Democratic Congressman Jerry Nadler chalked up the recent epidemic of Antifa violence in Portland as nothing more than right-wing myth on Sunday when asked about his thoughts over a militant mob terrorizing one of the nation’s largest cities.“Do you disavow the violence from Antifa?” asked writer-producer Austen Fletcher.“That’s a myth that’s been spread only in Washington D.C.” Nadler asserted.“About Antifa in Portland?” Fletcher clarified.“Yes.”The House Judiciary chairman was then shuffled away from the interview by staff as Fletcher continued to explain the situation unfolding in the Pacific Northwest.“Sir, there’s videos everywhere online. There’s fires and riots. They’re throwing fireworks at federal officers. DHS is there. Look online, it gets crazy Mr. Nadler.”

Once again, Democrats are telling us not to believe what we can see with our own eyes.
My colleague Mary Chastain wrote an extensive report yesterday about the violence in Portland, which included this quote from Associated Press reporter Mike Balsamo:
“It’s scary. You open those doors out, when the crowd is shaking the fence, and … on the other side of that fence are people that want to kill you because of the job we chose to do and what we represent,” said a Deputy U.S. Marshal who has been protecting the courthouse for weeks. He requested anonymity because protesters have identified him and posted his personal information online.“I can’t walk outside without being in fear for my life,” he said. “I am worried for my life, every time I walk outside of the building.”
Has Jerry Nadler turned on a TV lately?
Or better yet, has he looked at Twitter? Elijah Schaffer of The Blaze has been on the ground in Portland for days:
Journalist Andy Ngo is also on the scene:
As Professor Jacobson recently pointed out, the only “myth” being perpetuated in Portland is the rioters’ use of the phrase “Hands up, don’t shoot!”
Jerry Nadler is a fool, who thinks Americans are as ignorant and out of touch as he is.
