Governor Tina Kotek

We'll get through this, but it's been an honor working with you.

We're going to keep hanging out together because we got to keep fighting.

This is going to be a brawl.

So let's keep together and appreciate you both.

Yeah, I found out through unofficial channels the day before that she was coming to town.

And so I reached out and said, hey, can we meet?

It's interesting to see a cabinet secretary traveling with right-wing social media influencers.

It's interesting to see that same cabinet secretary standing on a federal building with those same types of folks, with, you know, with filming and other things.

This is a made-for-TV movie that they are producing to try to make a point.

You know, I thought we could have a, you know, reasonable conversation, but, you know, it's hard to have a rational conversation with irrational people.

You know, then Secretary Dunham goes back and has a, you know,

meeting at the White House just yesterday talking about, you know, Antifa and the way they talk about it.

I don't know what they're talking about.

Any expert on anything in this country is just perplexed by what they're trying to say about what is happening in our major cities.

And so I just come back to what are the facts on the ground?

What does it mean to keep our community safe?

We have a president and an administration that doesn't care about the safety of Americans.

Look, you take a

oath to the Constitution as president of the United States, as we do as governors, our job is to stand up and protect everybody in our state.

And his job is to protect everybody in our country.

But what I heard from the secretary was we have the right and with impunity to be as aggressive with military policing tactics that we want to use.

And we don't care if it upsets people.

And we don't care if it creates more tension and more problems for your city.

They literally don't care.
