I live in Portland and while there are homeless people downtown it’s a great city to live in and I’ve never felt unsafe. Fox News has been saying for years that Portland is basically a war-torn shell of a city in which people huddle in their homes afraid of the criminals freely roaming the streets. They’ve even used footage from riots in 2020 and pretended it was present-day [0]. It’s terrifying that we have a president who believes and takes action based on what he sees on TV.
