CATEGORY. GIBSON REPORTEDLY SAID HE WILL
TAKE LEGAL ACTION INTO THIS OR
LOOK INTO THAT.
WHILE ANTIFA DOESN'T HAVE A
LEADER LIKE JOEY GIBSON DOES
HAVE SUPPORTERS IN HIGH PLACES.
INCLUDING PORTLAND MAY YOU'RE A
CANDIDATE SARAH IANNARONE.
DURING MY INTERVIEW WITH HER I
READ HER THE QUESTIONS I'VE
BEEN GETTING FROM VIEWERS ABOUT
HOW FAR HER SUPPORT FOR ANTIFA
GOALS.
GOALS.
GOALS. >>> I'M GOING TO REFER TO SOME
COMMENTS HERE FROM FACEBOOK.
I'M GOING TO PUT AN ASTERISK
THESE ARE NOT COMMENTS FROM
FACEBOOK ARE NOT WHERE ANYONE
SHOULD GO FOR THE SPECIFIC
DEFINITIONS OF HOW THE WORLD
WORKS.
WORKS.
WORKS. THESE ARE COMMENTS THAT HAVE
BEEN POSTED UNDER THINGS YOU
HAVE SAID SPECIFICALLY ON YOUR
FACEBOOK PAGE.
FACEBOOK PAGE. THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SAID ON
MINE AS I MENTIONED I WAS
INTERVIEWING TO TODAY.
THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE WRITTEN
ON OTHER INTERVIEWS YOU HAVE
DONE IN PORTLAND.
I WANT TO READ THEM BECAUSE
THEY ALWAYS FIT THE SAME
NARRATIVE.
NARRATIVE. THIS ISN'T ACCUSATORY.
YOU SHOULD RESPOND TO THEM
CONSIDERING I READ IT SO OFTEN.
I WANT PEOPLE TO HEAR WHAT YOU
HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT AND BE
ABLE TO PUT IT TO BED.
TONY WHITE SAID IN AN EARLIER
INTERVIEW SHE AS IN YOU SAID
THAT SHE WASN'T THE PERSON
LIGHTING THE FIRE IS AND
WOULDN'T CONDEMN THEM.
REALLY?
REALLY?
REALLY? REHMAN SAID I HAVE READ SHE IS
100% ANTIFA.
100% ANTIFA. LINDA TROOP WORLD WHAT IS YOUR
ASSOCIATION WITH THE ANTIFA
MOVEMENT ? I'M GOING TO READ
BETWEEN THE LINES.
I DON'T THINK THEY ARE
DESCRIBING A SIMPLE STANCE
AGAINST FASCISM WHICH IS WHAT
WE SHOULD ALL ENDORSE.
THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SETTING THE
FIRES AND BRAWLING IN THE
STREETS AND COMMITTING OTHER
TYPES OF VIOLENT ACTS.
CAN YOU SPEAK TO THOSE COMMENTS
I HAVE SEEN UNDER ANYTHING YOU
SAY ONLINE?
SAY ONLINE? >>> THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY.
OPPORTUNITY. TO DO THAT.
IF I TRIED TO REPLY TO THEM ALL
INDIVIDUALLY IT WOULD TAKE ME
MONTHS IF NOT YEARS.
I CONDEMN VIOLENCE.
I BELIEVE THAT VIOLENCE IS BAD
NO MATTER WHO IS DOING IT.
WHAT I SAID WAS I UNDERSTAND
THE PEOPLE PERPETRATING THAT
ARE ANGRY AND RIGHTFULLY SO.
I ALSO SAW THE PORTLAND POLICE
WERE ENGAGED IN THEIR OWN
VIOLENCE.
VIOLENCE.
VIOLENCE. LET'S TALK ABOUT ANTIFA.
I HAVE SAID THAT I AM ANTI-
FASCIST.
FASCIST.
FASCIST. I DON'T WANT TO UNDERMINE THE
FACT THAT WE HAVE A BUMPER
STICKER ON MY CAMPAIGN THAT
SAYS EVERY DAY ANTI-FASCIST
ALWAYS.
ALWAYS.
ALWAYS. IF YOU TALK TO OUR ELDERS WHO
WERE THERE IN WORLD WAR II.
FASCISM IS BAD.
BEING OPPOSE THE FASCISM SHOULD
NOT BE SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE
SHY AWAY FROM IN 2020.
WHEN WE LOOK AT TROMP SENDING
UNACCOUNTABLE FORCES HERE WERE
SCOOPING PEOPLE INTO VANS.
THAT IS SOMETHING TO BE SCARED
OF.
OF.
OF. WHEN
OF. WHEN I SAY SOMETHING LIKE
EVERYDAY ANTI-FASCISTS WHAT
THAT MEANS TO ME IS THAT EVERY
PORTLAND OR SHOULD COME
TOGETHER TO OPPOSE BIGOTRY AND
HATE AND EXCLUSION AND VIOLENCE
IN OUR CITY.
EVEN PUTTING THIS INTO PRACTICE
I PUT IT INTO PRACTICE AND VERY
NONVIOLENT WAYS.
NONVIOLENT WAYS. LAST AUGUST WHEN WE HAD THE
INCURSION OF WHITE NATIONALIST
FROM OUTSIDE OUR CITY COME IN
TO INCITE RIOTS AND WREAK HAVOC
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. WE
HERE. WE DID SOMETHING CALLED TAMPA
OUT HATE ON MY CAMPAIGN.
WE LOOKED AT THE TOXIC
MASCULINITY.
MASCULINITY. IT WAS DRIVING A LOT OF THIS
ANGER AND RAGE THAT WE SEE ON
DISPLAY.
DISPLAY.
DISPLAY. WE COLLECTED MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS
AND DISTRIBUTED THOUSANDS OF
THEM TO HOMELESS SHELTERS
AROUND THE CITY.
TO ME THAT IS WHAT ANTI-FASCISM
IS.
IS.
IS. IT
IS. IT IS
IS. IT IS THE KIND COMMUNITY
ORGANIZING THE SAID HATE IS NOT
WELCOME HERE.
WELCOME HERE. THAT A STRONG COHESIVE
COMMUNITY IS ULTIMATELY OUR
FIRST RESPONDER IN TIMES OF
DISASTER.
DISASTER.
DISASTER. THAT WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH
WE ARE THERE FOR EACH OTHER.
AND THE WAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN
WEAPON DENIES AGAINST PEOPLE
LIKE ME I THINK IS INDICATIVE
OF WHAT TROMP GETS IN OUR
SOCIETY RIGHT NOW.
I AGREE WITH MAYOR WHEELER.
TROMP IS AMPLIFYING VIOLENCE
AND MAKING IT UNNECESSARILY
WORSE.
WORSE.
WORSE. TO
WORSE. TO CALL ANTI-FASCISM SOMETHING
THAT A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
IT IS NOT TRUE.
IF YOU LOOK AT PICTURES OF ME
ARE YOU SEARCH THE HASHTAG.
THEY ARE REFERRING TO YOUR
UNWILLINGNESS TO BE CRITICAL OF
A GROUP THAT HAS CO-OPTED THAT
ANTI-FASCISTS MOVEMENT OR AT
LEAST ARE WILLING TO USE
VIOLENT MEANS IN ORDER TO
UPHOLD THOSE SAME BELIEFS.>>>
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF
WHITE NATIONALISM.
WHITE NATIONALISM. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE . WHEN YOU
LOOK AT LAW ENFORCEMENT
HISTORIC SYMPATHIZING IF YOU
WILL WITH WHITE SUPREMACY.
IN THE UNITED STATES.
WHAT YOU HAVE PEOPLE SAYING IS
THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO
TOLERATE THAT KIND OF VIOLENCE.
AND THEY ARE RESPONDING TO
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. IF
THAT. IF THERE WERE NO PEOPLE WHO
WERE WHITE SUPREMACIST.
IF THERE WERE NO WHITE
NATIONALIST AGITATORS.
NATIONALIST AGITATORS. IF THERE WERE NOT NEW WHO WERE
COMING TO BE RACIST AGAINST
BLACK PORTLANDERS WHO WERE ANTI-
SEMITIC AGAINST OUR JEWISH
COMMUNITY.
COMMUNITY. THEY WOULD BE HOME GROWING
TOMATOES AND MICRO BREWING
BEERS.
BEERS.
BEERS. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT IN THIS
FOR FUN.
FOR FUN.
FOR FUN. THERE IN THIS BECAUSE THEY CARE
ABOUT COMMUNITY.
ABOUT COMMUNITY. ULTIMATELY THEY WANT PEOPLE TO
BE SAFE.
BE SAFE.
BE SAFE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT
THEY ARE COMING FROM WHEN THEY
TALK ABOUT WHY THEY ARE DOING
WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
