'I am antifa': Sarah Iannarrone forces runoff in bid to become Portland's mayor

By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Tuesday, June 2, 2020

Voters in Portland, Oregon, will decide in November whether to elect an Antifa mayor, even after President Trump vowed to declare Antifa a domestic terrorism organization.

Longtime Portland community organizer Sarah Iannarone has made no secret of her political sympathies. She declared last year that “I am Antifa” and wryly embraced the “Antifa mayor” label. She and her campaign manager, Gregory McKelvey, were featured in a December article in Playboy with the headline “Antifa in Focus.”

“I am antifa,” she tweeted in September. “I stand proudly beside the good people of this city organizing in countless ways every day to oppose hate in its myriad forms.”

Two months later, she tweeted, “If they’re going to call me ‘Antifa Mayor,’ then I might as well fight fascism.”

Despite her proud stance, or maybe because of it, Ms. Iannarone placed second in the crowded May 19 mayoral primary with 23.8% of the vote. That landed her in the November runoff with Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who came up just shy of the 50% threshold needed to win the race outright.

Portlandia always gets the government they vote for.  I have no sympathy for people still living there.

So if she wins, instead merely speculating on whether Antifa controls the police department with the current mayor in charge, there will be no doubt they are in charge of the police if this woman wins the election.

And me. F**k Portland! I hope she wins by a landslide. Nothing could be nicer than watching Portland burn. I love the smell of burning Liberals in the morning.
