Rep. Jerry Nadler says Antifa violence in Portland a 'myth'
“I ran into Jerry Nadler in DC and asked him to disavow the Antifa violence/rioting in Portland. His response? ‘THAT’S A MYTH,’” Mr. Fletcher said in a tweet along with the video.
“It is true,” Mr. Fletcher tells Mr. Nadler in the video. “There’s violence across the whole country. Do you disavow the violence from Antifa that’s happening in Portland right now? There’s riots—”
“That’s a myth that’s being spread only in Washington, D.C.,” Mr. Nadler responded.
“About Antifa in Portland?” Mr. Fletcher asked.
“Yes,” Mr. Nadler replied before a staffer nudged him to get into the vehicle.
“Sir, there’s videos everywhere online,” Mr. Fletcher continued. “There’s fires and riots, they’re throwing fireworks at federal officers. DHS is there. Look online. It gets crazy, Mr. Nadler.”
The New York Democrat was slammed for his response, which came as Portland entered its 60th day of riots since the death of George Floyd.
Portland is the home of Rose City Antifa, the oldest known so-called anti-fascist group in the country.
