Mayor Ted Wheeler said it was the first time he’d been tear-gassed and appeared slightly dazed and coughed.
The mayor of Portland, Ore., was tear-gassed by the U.S. government late Wednesday as he stood at a fence guarding a federal courthouse during another night of protest against the presence of federal agentsMayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, said it was the first time he’d been tear-gassed and appeared slightly dazed and coughed as he put on a pair of goggles someone handed him. He remained in his spot at the front.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the federal agents knew Wheeler was in the crowd when they used the tear gas. The mayor eventually left the scene some time after midnight. Earlier in the night, Wheeler was mostly jeered as he tried to rally demonstrators, some of whom have . But he was briefly applauded when he shouted, “Black lives matter,” and pumped his fist in the air.The mayor has opposed federal agents’ presence in Oregon’s largest city, but he has faced harsh criticism from many sides and his presence wasn’t welcomed by many who yelled and swore at him.
“I want to thank the thousands of you who have come out to oppose the Trump administration’s occupation of this city,” Wheeler told hundreds of people gathered downtown near the federal courthouse. “The reason this is important is it is not just happening in Portland. ... We’re on the front line here in Portland.”
