Senator Ted Cruz has blasted Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler for failing to stop Antifa thugs from attacking citizens.

According to Cruz, Wheeler ordered police “to let citizens to be attacked”, and has called on law enforcement to launch an investigation into his actions.

On Saturday, Quillette gay Asian journalist Andy Ngo was beaten by several masked Antifa attackers during a protest.

Ngo was hospitalized after the attack with suspected brain bleed, according to his attorney Harmeet K. Dhillion.
