Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Demands a Meeting With DHS Officials to Negotiate a ‘Cease-fire’

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler’s progressive delusions seem to have gotten worse since he was tear-gassed while being at the riot as other rioters were trying to set fire to the federal courthouse.

Wheeler now wants to talk with the DHS about negotiating a “ceasefire” and the removal of increased federal law enforcement agents from Portland.

Commissioner @JoAnnPDX and I are calling for an immediate meeting with Department of Homeland Security leadership on the ground in Portland and with Acting Secretary @DHS_Wolf to discuss a cease-fire and the removal of heightened federal forces from Portland.

— Mayor Ted Wheeler (@tedwheeler) July 28, 2020

So, the man who let the anarchists get out of hand for the past 60 days, who has done nothing substantial to curtail their attacks on the federal courthouse and federal agents, seems to be negotiating the “war” on their behalf, seemingly asking the federal government to give in to the terrorism that has been going on for weeks by leaving.

Wheeler claims he negotiates for the terrorists/anarchists after he tried to talk to them and go booed and told to leave the area, and was chased out.

But now he says targeting the complicit media that he can negotiate them.

A “cease fire” with criminals trying to sack a federal courthouse. Just insane.

A cease-fire is easy for the anarchists to achieve.... simply STOP ATTACKING!

This leftist loser of a mayor needs to be arrested and waterboarded before being exiled for the rest of his evermore worthless, malignant life. What an absolute putz.

“So they are under his control.”

Sounds like it. He is asking for the Federal force surrender.

Personally, I like the idea of the impotent and radical mayor trying to publicly negotiate with the federal government.

It would be good to negotiate a reasonable option in public to prove to the world that the rioters/vandals/thugs/antifa are really in control and that local government has no control over them.

There is a simple federal position, “Have local law enforcement stop all damage to federal property, and regain control of the safety of the population from lawlessness.”

Publicly, the fed’s should get a written and public notification that if Portland law enforcement can not fulfill these requirements that they fully request federal assistance.

Dems are saying that if the Federal officers leave the ‘peaceful’ protesters that are being provoked to violence will eventually get bored and go home.

They are saying that NOW at the Barr House hearing.

He joined the riots so he could breathe in some tear gas and claim to be tear gassed and play the poor innocent victim of the evil Donald Trump. Obviously he was going to blame the riots on Trump.

The entire democrat party is fully responsible for the murders, rapes, thefts, arson and destruction of property.

Bring your resignation, Ted. This is not a negotiation, it’s a surrender.

More Portland “peaceful protesters” in action:

They want total destruction.

What is there to negotiate about, exactly?

By golly, Wheeler actually used the term “cease-fire“. So will the process involve folks approaching each other under a flag of truce? And will a peace pipe be involved?

P.S. I think it would be neat if each side were on horseback.

Maybe DHS could meet with Wheeler after they arrest him and detain him in Gitmo for insurrection, sedition and fomenting riots? I’m sure they would have plenty of time to chat then.
