I don't know if you remember Jen Psaki. I do!
WATCH: Biden press sec
FAILS to condemn Antifa
domestic terrorism in Oregon
and Washington, says they are
monitoring it
Press Secretary Jen Psaki failed to condemn Antifa demonstrators who marched through the streets in Portland and Seattle, committing many acts of vandalism and destruction this week.
"On domestic unrest: First of all, does the president have any comment on the ongoing violence in Oregon and Washington State?" A reporter asked.
"Well certainly we had our team on the ground, our national security team, even before 12:01, early in the morning on Inauguration Day because we wanted to be able to monitor events happening across the country and any unrest that was resulting from the last couple of weeks.
"I haven't spoke with him specifically about those events but it is something out national security team, Liz Sherwood-Randall, is closely monitoring of course, but if we have an additional update I'm happy to provide it to you."
The Biden administration appeared to have lots of plans for how to counter domestic terrorism when it came in the form of rioters on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, but when faced with far-left militant activists with a penchant for mass destruction, those plans are unclear.
The failure to condemn Antifa militants comes after months of the Biden campaign virtually supporting their actions in committing arson and violence across American cities from May 2020 through the present
Vice President Kamala Harris notably said while on the campaign trail that "This is a movement, I'm telling you. They're not gonna stop. And everyone beware, because they're not gonna stop. They're not gonna stop before election day in November, and they're not gonna stop after election day. And that should be–everyone should take note of that, on both levels. They're not gonna let up," Harris said with pride, "and they should not. And we should not."
Antifa appears to have taken Vice President Harris' words to heart, as they are not letting up thus far.
They really don’t want Joe.
Antifa militants chanted “f—k” President Biden during a rampage through Seattle after the inauguration — and smashed up the historic site of the very first Starbucks.
Seattle cops made at least three arrests as at least 100 protesters scrawled graffiti, smashed windows and even set fire to an American flag, according to the Seattle Times.
Videos showed the mob chanting their allegiance to “Antifa” and repeatedly decrying the election of a left-wing president, Biden.
“F—k Trump, f—k Biden too, they don’t give a f—k about you,” a large crowd chanted in one clip.
Some said they took to the streets because they were disgusted that the new president had called for unity rather than attack their right-wing opponents. “Calling for unity with people who actively want to harm people is disgusting,” a woman named Anna told the Seattle Times.
The destruction included the Starbucks on Pike Place, home of the java chain’s very first location, which opened on the street in 1971.
Police shared images of the store covered in police tape to protect smashed windows. One of the three arrests Wednesday night was for burglary and property damage at the historic store, police said.
“I guess their[sic] Anti-caffeine, too,” one Twitter user, John Blair, said as he decried the attack on what was not just a “Starbucks” but “the original one. Store #1.”
The Seattle chaos came as mobs once again clashed with police in Portland, Oregon, where they also made clear they opposed the new president.
“We don’t want Biden, we want revenge!” read at least one sign in the mob of at least 200, The Oregonian said.
