In reply to the discussion: Trump: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?' Why is this being ignored? [View all]GoCubsGo
(34,397 posts)7. Nah, he was shown photos of Portland from a while back.
There was a stretch of time when there were protests for I forget what turned violent, fomented by the pocket of anarchists that reside in the city. It might have been related to George Floyd's death, but don't quote me on that. The violence occurred only within a few blocks of the downtown, but the right-wing media has been constantly trying to claim this is an ongoing thing, and that Portland is just bombed-out crater now. The Propaganda Channel is one of the worst culprits, and that's pretty much all Cankles watches. It's no surprise that he thinks Portland is a war zone. Ditto for L.A., Chicago and DC. He believes it, because that's all he has been fed.

Yep. Every time I see Miller, I see him with his lips to Trump's ear, whispering in that fascist voice.
