CANDACE Owens slammed Joe Biden for underestimating Antifa’s actions after a group of protesters torched an Apple Store in Portland.
The conservative expert took to Twitter to question why the president rejected the move as riots erupted across the country protesting the shootings in custody.
–“Joe Biden says ANTIFA is an ‘idea'” she wrote. “Don’t believe your lying eyes. They are not national terrorists – the people who took selfies in the Capitol building are. ”
Owens shared video of a fire allegedly set outside an Apple store in Portland on Friday night as protesters protested the deaths in custody of Daunte Wright and Adam Toledo.
Portland police declared the protest a “riot” as a group of protesters set fire to and smashed windows of businesses, a church and the Oregon Historical Society, according to The Oregonian.
Several hundred people marched through the area and began to vandalize and loot businesses, police said on Saturday.
Heavy clashes erupted in Chicago, New York and Minnesota during Black Lives Matter’s protests against the fatal shootings of Adam Toledo and Daunte Wright.
Thousands of people gathered peacefully across America to demonstrate against the police yesterday, but as the night went on, tensions increased.
Dozens of people have been arrested and several injured following clashes between BLM protesters and cops.
–Protesters gathered in Logan Square Park in Chicago to demand justice for Adam Toledo, a 13-year-old who was gunned down by cops on March 29.
The protest began around 6 p.m., with people marching and closing the intersection at six corners of Milwaukee, Diversey and Kimball around 7:30 p.m.
Many said they were protesting to demand police reform and the resignation of Mayor Lori Lightfoot, saying the current system was not working.
As the event ended around 10 p.m., a small group of protesters began to clash with police.
Protests began across Chicago after body camera footage of Toledo’s death was released on Thursday.
Toledo was fatally shot in an alleyway after fleeing from police around 2:30 a.m. on March 29.
–Clashes also erupted at the Brooklyn Center in Minneapolis where Daunte Wright, 20, was shot dead last Sunday.
Nearly 1,000 people gathered outside the city’s police headquarters at 9 p.m. yesterday, the Star Tribune reports.
The protest was peaceful at first, but grew tense during the evening with a speaker leaving a message to the police, saying, “We are going to make their lives miserable every night. “
Protesters demanded charges for ex-Minnesota cop Kimberly Potter who shot Wright last week.
Police began deploying flash bangs to disperse the crowds, some of whom protected themselves with umbrellas, according to reports.
Pepper spray was also used against some protesters after the protest was declared an illegal gathering.
Around 100 people were arrested last night following the clashes, KSTP reports.
