Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem appeared in Portland, Oregon, Tuesday, in a display of government power responding to an “army of Antifa.” Pictures from the scene revealed that “army” was approximately a dozen photographers and protesters on a street corner, including a man in a chicken costume.

Noem was photographed, during the day, on the roof of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, surveying the street below. The facility has been the site of nightly anti-immigration raid protests – some of which have turned aggressive recently as federal law enforcement clash with demonstrators.

Conservative influencer Benny Johnson, who joined Noem on the visit, posted a video from the roof, referring to her looking onto the “army of Antifa” – a nebulous left-wing, anti-fascist movement - often targeted by President Donald Trump.

People stood on the street below, looking up at Noem. The small crowd appeared to be mostly photojournalists and a few protesters holding signs. One man, wearing a chicken costume, stood out.

1. Of course she's staring down, at them.

She's on the roof of a building.

[generalbetrayus]

3. She wasn't staring at the "crowd". She was looking for a stray dog to kill.

[Buddyzbuddy]

4. WE HAVE EYES!

We can see you.

[Ray Bruns]

5. We've officially entered the French knight scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail era of the Trump administration.

[Norrrm]

6. Repubs claimed it was Antifa committing violence on Jan6. Has she stared them down since?

It seems odd that Trump pardoned 1500 Antifa and FBI plants for such violence.

14. Logic fails biggly. If J6 was AntiFa, and Trump pardoned the J6ers who were convicted...

why is he and his flunkies now insisting the citizens protesting government overreach & abuse of innocent people are also AntiFa? Why do MAGAs believe, supposedly grown ass adults, so easy to convince there is a boogy man known as AntiFa?

Answer: it's all lies and MAGAs are total idiots to believe any of it. Now, the PRESS can't plead stupid, as they are not stupid, but some of them are complicit.

17. Well, to be fair, there is also a raccoon, unicorn, fire breathing dragons.

Fearful things for the brave goons of ICE. The unicorn MUST be DEI.

[BaronChocula]

10. This is what I'd be screaming from the street

[Bayard]

18. Snorf!

[calimary]

11. But that's just about her speed.

It may just be easier to get haughty to a guy in a chicken suit.

[BurnDoubt]

12. STILL not enough K's in KKKristy?

EVIL walks and talks.

[James48]

13. Wait until you see the Dancing Unicorn

It’s rainbow colored. That’s the secret Antifa Unicorn.

[Attilatheblond]

15. And the Unipiper!

They gonna claim a man in a kilt riding a unicycle and playing bagpipes is trans and therefore a threat to national security? Can't wait to see what members of various Scot Heritage groups do with that one!
