pointing out that they &#8220;had human feces, open drug use, and \u2026 piles of trash just spilling out into the streets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m angry, and I\u2019m sad, and I\u2019m fed up,&#8221; she told Wheeler during Wednesday\u2019s city council meeting. &#8220;I&#8217;m so sick of having politicians pander to the woke agenda that\u2019s been nothing short of an epic failure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Please admit to failure, and start doing the right thing,&#8221; she urged. &#8220;Stop wasting our money, and destroying our beautiful city, and please start being leaders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you, you made your point emphatically clear,&#8221; Wheeler replied, failing to hold back laughter as he spoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Following the interaction, Rose spoke to FOX News about Wheeler\u2019s conduct. &#8220;It was really hard to hear,&#8221; she said of the mayor\u2019s laughter, &#8220;and I think that it proved my point, that I don\u2019t feel like they\u2019re taking it seriously and that they care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t think this is funny at all, this is a nightmare,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Portland is in real trouble, and we don\u2019t feel safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TPostMillennial\/status\/1576690926197477376\">FOX News<\/a>, over 5,000 people are homeless across the city, up nearly 20 percent since 2019.<\/p>\n<p>So long as leaders continue to turn a blind eye and blame everything but their own policies, the crisis is sure to only get worse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past few years, homeless encampments in Portland, Oregon have grown to unprecedented levels, leading to increased unease among the city\u2019s residents.During a recent city council meeting, Portlander<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1669370,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1669368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1669368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1669368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1669368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1669370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1669368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1669368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1669368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
