MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace has joined the Democrats in blaming the violence in Democrat-run cities on Trump supporters.
According to The Washington Free Beacon:
“He’s playing to harden his faction of the electorate, to make them more mad, more afraid, more frothed up than they were four years ago, if you can fathom what that might look like,” Wallace said. “I think we’re seeing it on the streets of Portland and other places.”
Portland has experienced nearly 100 consecutive days of violent riots led by left-wing activists in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Last week anti-police activists broke into City Hall, set fire to a police association building, and assaulted officers in what the police declared a riot.
Some right-wing activists arrived in the city over the weekend, resulting in clashes with left-wing protesters without significant police intervention. A member of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer was shot and killed during the confrontation. An Antifa agitator is under investigation for the shooting.
Portland mayor Ted Wheeler (D.) called for an end to street violence this week after allowing the violence to proceed for months. Rioters set a fire outside his condominium complex on Monday night, causing Wheeler to announce he is moving. The Portland police chief called on local officials to do more to stop the rioting.
Wallace also stated that Trump is looking to delegitimize mail-in votes and make it harder to mail-in absentee ballots.
