MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you about what is going on in Portland overnight. We saw a man there killed during dueling demonstrations between a pro-Trump caravan and Black Lives Matter activists. Given the situation, which seems very tense, will the Trump administration ask for everyone, including those pro-Trump supporters, to pull back?

ACTING SEC. WOLF: Well, we've been asking Portland to do their job really for over three months now. What you see in Portland is an environment--

MARGARET BRENNAN: But I'm asking about the pro-Trump supporters.

ACTING SEC. WOLF: --they- they foster an environment- they foster an environment of this lawlessness and chaos. We've been asking the governor and others to send in the National Guard to address the violence so that you don't have dueling demonstrations. You don't have this violence that occurs night after night after night on the streets of Portland. So we need them to do their job. We need them to step up and if they can't or they don't have the ability or the resources, ask the federal government. We'll provide those resources, as we've done in Wisconsin and in others, so that we can address any violence, any violence across the spectrum.

MARGARET BRENNAN: But- I hear what you're saying but the president has tweeted about Portland 12 times in the past 48 hours, including retweeting a video of his supporters, people with Trump flags flying, driving into Portland, and he called them "Great Patriots." Doesn't that heightened tension when you say you're trying to lower it?

ACTING SEC. WOLF: Absolutely not. I think what- again, what we see in Portland and various other cities--

MARGARET BRENNAN: Do you endorse this--

ACTING SEC. WOLF: --is- is local--

MARGARET BRENNAN: --as the president appears to be doing?

ACTING SEC. WOLF: --officials not doing their job and protecting the people of those communities. And what we've seen in Portland is almost three months, three months of allowing individuals to come in night after night and set fire to government buildings with little to no consequences.

MARGARET BRENNAN: So are you saying that the local officials have failed to stop the Trump supporters from driving into Portland?

ACTING SEC. WOLF: I- I've-- they have failed to stop--

MARGARET BRENNAN: Because the president seems to be endorsing that.

ACTING SEC. WOLF: They have failed to stop- they- they have failed to protect their communities, specifically in Portland. And we've seen that. We have over 74- over 90 arrests, 74 different criminal citations that the FBI is pursuing against individuals. We need Portland to step up, bring this violence to a close, and I think you'll see a lot of this go away.

MARGARET BRENNAN: OK, it sounds then like you're asking Portland officials to crack down on the Trump supporters, too. If that's not what you mean, please clarify. The president said that--

ACTING SEC. WOLF: I'm ask--

MARGARET BRENNAN: Go ahead. Sorry

.ACTING SEC. WOLF: I'm asking Portland officials, so that's the mayor, that's the governor and that's local law enforcement to do their job to address any violent activity that is occurring in their streets. As soon as they do that- again, we'll see that, as we've seen in Wisconsin and other places, we'll see the violence go down to almost zero. And this will address the issue that Portland has been dealing with for three months,--

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yeah.

ACTING SEC. WOLF: --that the citizens of Portland have been dealing with for over three months. It's time to end the lawlessness and the chaos that we see in Portland.

I'm waiting for the Kenosha deceased to be painted as right wing agitators. They have all the necessary characteristics for that: white, with criminal records, one was recorded shouting "shoot me ni*****a" multiple times.
The only mismatch is that Kyle is also white. Plus, MSM is now too invested in original narrative.

They may still turn around. It would start with "Our investigative analysis shows that..." prefix.

Good lord, could this Brennan creature be any more obvious about the agenda she's trying to push? A sledgehammer is more subtle.

The school systems have gotten so lax that even the propagandists they're turning out are more pathetically incompetent than ever.

They are hoping to redirect blame. They think too highly of their own influence.

So much propaganda, left is desperate.

Apparently Margaret Brennan is an anarchist or something. Certainly she can hold no claim to being unbiased. I wonder if she’s related to John Brennan the disgraced ex-CIA Chief?

The media is SO corrupt, it's mind boggling.

They absolutely do not care about truth in the least. They care only about their hate, trying to encourage or justify more hate.

Wheeler just "took responsibility" by blaming Trump. Hints that Trump supporter's assassination is Trump's fault and the fault of "Systemic Racism"

The time is now ripe for Trump to declare an insurrection and use the military in Portland.

Why? Every week these riots continue Trump gets a point in the polls.

Why save these Democrat governors from their own incompetence. If they want the help let them ask for it.

I'm still in disbelief at how media is trying to spin violence and mayhem on conservatives. All the riots are in no go zones if your openly conservative.

She's parroting her assigned partisan dictums like a broken record. It's what they do. Her questions sound unnatural, unbalanced, with the usual side trimmings of delusion and denial.

She's on the legacy press truck, begging the question while throwing straw man after straw man off the back of the truck.

I heard Margaret Brennan is a pedophile.

Yep. she belongs to the same pedophile ring as Tess Owens.

less than 1% of nation watches the show.
how about "Face the Libfucks"...

Yep, this is the desperate talking point now. It was Altright agent provocateurs - they'll never offer any evidence.

Of course, that doesn't explain why Wheeler, DeBlasio, Lightfoot, etc. were going so light on the Trump Supporters they now blame for the Protests (?!?) by letting them out on no-bail. And I didn't know so many altright rednecks were black or white people with pink hair and noserings.
