Nancy Pelosi sides with BLM/Antifa rioters in Portland, blames Trump. Is anyone surprised?

As Antifa/BLM/communist "demonstrators" continue to destroy Portland every night for 48 straight days, bashing federal agents on the head with hammers, vandalizing, spray-painting every square foot of every building they can reach, Democrat Nancy Pelosi has--revoltingly but utterly predictably--sided with the vandals and thugs.

Pelosi claims the rioters and vandals are merely peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights.  But assaulting officers, throwing bricks and rocks at them, vandalizing buildings, breaking windows are NOT protected by the First Amendment, as Pelosi should well know.  But she lies to win votes.

Below are two of her tweets from yesterday.  Click on either one and **read the comments,** as scores of commenters say they AGREE with thug-protector Pelosi that all the violence was merely "peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights."  It's astonishing.  And these morons vote.

First Amendment speech should never be met with one-sided violence from federal agents acting as Trump’s secret police, especially when unidentified. This is disgraceful behavior we would expect from a banana republic — not the government of the United States.

Unidentified stormtroopers. Unmarked cars. Kidnapping protesters and causing severe injuries in response to graffiti.

These are not the actions of a democratic republic.@DHSgov’s actions in Portland undermine its mission.

Trump & his stormtroopers must be stopped.

Pelosi's vile, pro-anarchy messages echo that of the virtue-signalling Democrat mayor of that once-beautiful city, Ted Wheeler, who has not only blamed federal agents for all the problems, but has demanded that DHS clean the grafitti off federal buildings.  That would be the crap painted by Antifa/BLM.
