One of the rationales Oregon Democrats have been using to push back against President Trump's authorization of troop deployment to Portland is that they say he's using footage of the rioting that happened in 2020 during the George Floyd riots to justify his decision, implying there's no current footage, which is false.

It's a theory their mainstream media allies, of course, have floated as well, though at least some of them pointed out that the footage Trump has reportedly seen is not just from the 2020 George Floyd riots but from the unrest and violence Portland has seen near its ICE facility going back at least three months.

According to CNN, "[Trump] first began floating the idea of a Portland deployment weeks ago, on the same day that Fox News – famously Trump’s outlet of choice – aired a story about the protests that mixed recent footage of standoffs at the ICE facility with older footage of the downtown rioting."

They left out the fact that DHS Sec. Kristi Noem, who undoubtedly is in regular contact with the facility about the goings on there, is who requested the assistance.

But now, amid Oregon filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration ahead of what could be the Oregon National Guard's arrival by Thursday, one fed-up Portland resident who says they've been subjected to nightly noise disturbances from the agitators is speaking out, thanking Trump for acting when city and state "leaders" refused to:

The Portland resident who went viral after confronting Antifa outside the ICE facility in Portland has issued a statement to @TPostMillennial on President Trump sending in troops:

"For over 100 days, my community has faced relentless harassment, robbery, assault, and racial violence at the hands of these protesters. Day and night, the danger has continued while Portland police and city leaders refused to act, refused to protect us, and refused to address our legitimate concerns. The people of South Portland have been abandoned.

Therefore, I want to thank President Trump for responding to our plight by sending the National Guard. Just as President Eisenhower acted in Little Rock to uphold the rights and safety of citizens when local authorities refused, President Trump has stepped in where Portland’s leaders failed. 

He has provided the security and relief our community needed but was denied by those entrusted to protect us.

God Bless you President Trump!"

Daviscourt went on to note that the resident, whom some on X characterized as "based," blasted feckless Democrat Mayor Keith Wilson for suggesting that the only riot footage Trump could have seen was from 2020:

Additionally, the resident lambasted Portland Mayor Keith Wilson for falsely claiming footage from the 100-day-plus unlawful demonstrations is from 2020, adding in the statement:

"The Mayor has publicly claimed that President Trump is being 'misled' by 2020 footage.

That statement is false.

I personally filmed some of the footage at issue. The remainder was filmed by other individuals. Every piece of the contemporary footage was introduced as evidence in my lawsuit against the City, and in court, all of it was formally authenticated under oath without objection. In other words, the City itself confirmed on the record that every portion of the footage is genuine.

For the Mayor now to assert or imply that the footage is from 2020, or that its truth is in doubt, is not simply mistaken — it is a knowing misrepresentation of facts already established in a court of law."

The resident's name was not given, but since they referenced a lawsuit against the city, presumably it is the same one mentioned in this July report from KGW, where it was pointed out that this woman wasn't a Trump supporter but was sick and tired of the constant noise and disturbances in the wee hours of the night, which she said one time actually caused her ear to bleed:

Sirens, bullhorn messages from protesters, buzzers, bells and revving engines are among the cacophony Cloud Elvengrail says are making her home, where she's lived since last July, "akin to a torture chamber." 

According to the lawsuit, Elvengrail lives in low-income housing, Gray's Landing, across the street from the ICE facility, as well as near a Tesla showroom. She said the noises have been happening well into the night for weeks, with the lawsuit describing an incident in late June, when Elvengrail "felt pressure in her left ear... When she reached up to touch her ear, she saw her finger was covered in blood."

[...]

Efforts to confront said demonstrators, as well as contact police, have been unsuccessful, including multiple instances where protesters made violent threats and have allegedly tried to get her evicted.

Unfortunately (but not surprisingly), the court sided against her.

If I'm correct and this is the same woman, here she is back in June, going off on the agitators as she walked around with her cane, which one of the "protesters" urged her to do something disgusting with. 

Watch (language warning):

Apparently, the only black voices that matter to Antifa extremists are the ones who don't question their actions. What a shocker.
