The far-left anti-American radical DA of Portland Oregon, Mike Schmidt, lost his primary race today to fellow Democrat Nathan Vasquez, who ran under a “get tough on crime” platform in direct opposition to the crime-enabling policies of Schmidt.
The incumbent is another DA funded in large part by Soros money. These DAs all appear to be violent revolutionaries willing to use their office in violation of constitutional and state law to sow terror in the land, hoping to use the chaos to “justify” a totalitarian takeover of the American republic.

Ultra progressive Portland sent Soros-backed, soft-on-crime District Attorney Mike Schmidt packing on Wednesday.
Residents backed Nathan Vasquez, one of Schmidt’s deputies, who campaigned on getting tough on crime. He received more than 50 percent of the vote after getting endorsed by a number of police groups.
Schmidt, one of the many woke prosecutors boosted into office by George Soros and affiliated soft-on-crime groups, took over in August 2020 at the height of the George Floyd protests and immediately announced the vast majority of riot-related offenses wouldn’t get prosecuted.
That December, he supported the ballot measure that essentially decriminalized all drug use.
It was a bad start to what has been a disastrous four years for the Rose City: Homicides hit a record high in 2022; the city declared a state of emergency after an explosion in fentanyl deaths; cops resigned en masse — with many citing Schmidt as the reason for their exit.
It’s no wonder Portlanders have had enough — and that the city has lost 22,000 residents since 2020.
Vasquez, a centrist and former Republican, won by vowing to end public drug use and dealing in Portland, repair ties with police and, essentially, return the DA’s office to its actual purpose — prosecuting crimes. (New York Post)
