VIDEO: Portland rioters tear down George Washington statue draped with burning American flag - TheBlaze:
Rioters in Portland, Oregon, toppled a nearly 100-year-old George Washington statue Thursday night. Before tearing the monument down, activists burned American flags and spray-painted the words "BLM" for Black Lives Matter and "genocidal colonist" on the statue.
About 30 to 40 activists gathered at the George Washington statue, located on the lawn of the German American Society in northeast Portland, at 11 p.m. Thursday. The statue of the first U.S. president was spray-painted with graffiti, including "Big Floyd" for George Floyd, "f*** cops," "white fragility," and "1619," a reference to the New York Times "project" that argues that "no part of America has been untouched by slavery."
