John,
Governor Tina Kotek is holding the line for Oregon. While Donald Trump tries to send troops into Portland, she’s standing firm, defending our state and our democracy from his dangerous abuse of power.
Meanwhile, Oregon Republicans refuse to call it out. Their silence - and in some cases, their support - says everything!
Republican Christine Drazan, who's rumored to be running for Governor again after Oregonians already rejected her extreme rightwing platform, described the situation in Portland as "violent mobs and domestic terrorists." According to OPB, a spokesperson first claimed that Drazan opposed deploying National Guard members from other states, but quickly walked it back, admitting the initial statement was inaccurate.
Can you imagine if Drazan won the race for Governor in 2022?? |
