Antifa continues to put its violent actions on display, as was evidenced by a stunning and frightening report from a journalist covering the “complete lawlessness” in Portland, Oregon.
According to the New York Post, Post Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt did an interview on Fox News this week sporting a large bruise underneath her eye in the wake of covering the protests happening outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in the Dem-run city.
She told Fox News host Jesse Watters that she was attacked by one of the “Antifa-affiliated protesters who harass, assault, and threaten anyone who they perceive to be a threat to their cause, including journalists, local residents, and ICE agents.”
For several months, the ICE facility in Portland has been ground zero for violent protesters, who have often used physical violence as a part of their so-called “protest.”
What’s going on?
The reporter recounted what happened the night she received the bruise on her face.
“This Antifa-affiliated subject just started approaching me and waving a flagpole in my face, and then I kind of turn around and that’s when she swung it like a baseball bat and directly hit my eye,” Daviscourt said.
Interestingly, Daviscourt said that the local police department did little in the way to help her.
She described what happened after she identified her attacker, only to receive little in the way of a response.
“I immediately ran to a Portland police officer, hunted down the suspect, chased her through the streets and said, ‘This is my assault suspect, can you guys finally do something?’ and I had eyes on her for about 35 minutes.”
She added, “Portland police refused to come in and make an arrest, and I had three officers just standing there, watching me try to hunt down the suspect.”
