MultCo Democratic HQs vandalized; 3 arrested

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The results of the 2020 presidential election did little to calm unrest in Portland.

A small group of people marched from Laurelhurst Park in Southeast Portland to the Multnomah County Democrats headquarters in the 3500 block of NE Sandy. The building was tagged with graffiti and broke “several of the building’s windows,” Portland police said in a release.

They then fled the scene toward Laurelhurst Park, but police “made targeted arrests” of some of the group.

Multnomah County Democrats Vice Chair Rachelle Dixon inspected the dozen broken windows, spray-painted graffiti of the anarchy symbol and “No good presidents.”

While the now-deleted social media posts originally promoting this event claimed to have been “anonymously organized” and “in solidarity with BLM,” Dixon said that’s a red flag.


“This sort of thing does not help us, so we know it’s people working against us with propaganda,” Dixon told KOIN 6 News. “And I want people to know that Black Lives Matter doesn’t work that way.”

And I guess I’m glad they made that clear by targeting it this way. 🤷🏻‍♀️
