REI closing over rampant crime

REI is closing its Portland store over rampant crime and theft. This follows Walmart and Nike closing their Portland stores.

Businesses big and small are dying as chaos spreads, like an “open-air fentanyl market” leaving “trash, graffiti and human waste lined boarded-up storefronts and barely occupied office buildings.” 

Where is Andrea Salinas? Silent. Meanwhile, “Portland’s police force has been gutted” by Salinas’ extremist allies who defunded the police.

“The dangerous policy choices of Andrea Salinas and her extreme allies are killing businesses and forcing residents out. Why does Salinas say and do nothing to stop the crime crisis from spreading further?” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
