WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump unleashed a tweetstorm early on Sunday about Portland, Oregon, hours after a man was killed there during clashes between a large group of Trump supporters and Black Lives Matter demonstrators.
Portland has been the site of protests, often violent, for months, following the killing of a Black man, George Floyd, by police in Minnesota in late May. One member of the Trump contingent, wearing a hat bearing the insignia of right-wing group Patriot Prayer, was reportedly the person killed.Chad Wolf, Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security, blamed local officials in Portland and other cities for an"environment of lawlessness and chaos" that has led to fatal shootings as America's ideological divide clashes in an interview on Sunday on CBS.
Since then, two people involved in a protest over Blake's shooting were killed and a third seriously wounded. A 17-year-old Trump supporter from Illinois, Kyle Rittenhouse, has been charged with two counts of homicide.
