Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is PUNCHED by social justice warriors angry over his crackdown on rioters and city's homeless as he dines outdoors
The mayor of Portland Ted Wheeler was punched in the face on Wednesday night as frustrations over how he has responded to recent crises in the city boiled over. Wheeler was dining outdoors with a companion when the protesters walked up to him and began shouting obscenities at the Democratic mayor.
Portland made national news when riots hit the city for more than 100 nights in a row last summer as Black Lives Matter protesters clashed with police in response to the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last May.
What began with calls to defund the police and reinvest in communities spiraled into anti-government demonstrations, including calls for Wheeler's resignation.
The video shows Wheeler dining at Café Nell's in Northwest Portland when he is approached by a group of protesters.
Jim Middaugh, a spokesman for the mayor, told The Oregonian the hecklers 'pushed their way past restaurant employees' to confront Wheeler while he was dining.
Although the mayor asked the group to leave 'at that point, one member of the group started swatting the mayor and made physical contact with him', Middaugh said.
The punch was not captured on video although Wheeler managed to take a photograph of the woman he claimed hit him.
The woman, Tracy Molina, is a prominent social justice activist and regularly participates in the city's protests against police violence and systemic racism.
The mayor did not press charges and no arrests were made. His office released a statement regarding the incident.
The statement said: 'On Wednesday evening, during a non-work-related dinner with a friend in a designated outdoor area, Mayor Wheeler was confronted by a group of people. The Mayor had been seated for about five minutes when a group of people began shouting obscenities at the Mayor from the outside of the tent.
'The Mayor attempted to ignore the group, but they eventually pushed their way past restaurant employees at the entrance to the tent and came inside. The Mayor asked them to leave. At that point, one member of the group started swatting at the Mayor and made physical contact with him. The Mayor was not injured. Restaurant staff persuaded the group to leave. Police arrived shortly after and the group dispersed.
Nevertheless, Wheeler, won a second term as mayor in November despite criticism after months of protests and riots in the city.
