OR Governor Kate Brown defends idea who killed Trump supporter

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

George Orwell, he/his/him

AMY GOODMAN: This past summer in Portland, Oregon, a hundred-day protest that we saw against the racism and police brutality, that culminated in a death squad-style assassination by U.S. marshals of the anti-fascist activist Michael Reinoehl, can you talk about this?

GOV. KATE BROWN: Absolutely. The actions of the Trump administration were abysmal and absolutely abhorrent in this state. And we worked with our local law enforcement to eradicate these forces from our state. We want to make sure that Oregonians can continue to peacefully protest, to uphold those voices that ask for change. And we will continue to support those efforts to eradicate racism from our institutions, from our structures and from our systems.

AMY GOODMAN: And do you condemn that death squad-style assassination of this man? And have you called for an investigation?

GOV. KATE BROWN: Look, what happened last summer was abhorrent. We are continuing to work to hold federal officials accountable. I expect you will see changes in leadership of local federal officials here in the state of Oregon. That is appropriate. And we are glad to be rid of Donald Trump's corruption, chaos and, frankly, incompetent governance.
