(TPM) – Antifa militants dressed in black bloc attacked a group of Republican volunteers in Portland, Oregon on Saturday.

Mayor Stan Pulliam shared a video to Twitter which showed black bloc Antifa approaching the group carrying “Antifascist” flags and various different objects.
Antifa militants proceeded to launch projectiles at the crowd consisting of children and elderly participants which included mortar type fireworks. They also used noisemakers to drown out the group, in an attempt to disrupt their freedom of speech.
“This is what happens when a Republican dares to hold an event in Portland to talk about funding our police. Antifa shows up. Well we won’t be intimidated and stop speaking the truth,” Pulliam said.

On Friday, The Post Millennial editor-at-large Andy Ngo reported that Antifa attacked participants of the People’s Convoy driving on the freeway through Portland by throwing projectiles and paint on vehicles.
John Hacker, an Antifa member who was indicted for attacking Ngo in 2019, was part of Friday’s mischief.
This comes a day ahead of Sunday’s May Day protests organized by Antifa and other left-leaning groups which notoriously turn into riots throughout the Pacific Northwest.
