Leading Contender in Portland Mayor Race Defends Antifa as ‘Peaceful Response to the Rise of White Nationalism’

EXCERPT.

IANNARONE: "I love that Joe Biden answered this question before me, because being opposed to fascism in 2020 is not something to be embarrassed about. I have a bumper sticker from the beginning of my campaign that says #EverydayAntifascist. And what I have tried to do is normalize peaceful responses to the rise of white nationalism by organizing — in my community I organized, this summer when the Proud Boys came to town, I organized a menstrual product drive for my neighbors residing in the Laurelwood Shelter, because the answer to toxic masculinity is an inclusive pluralist society where people of all backgrounds feel welcome."
