'They're not doing the job,' Mark Meadows said of the response to Portland protests from local authorities.
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows warned that federal agents will have to be sent back to Portland, Oregon as large protests persist in the northwestern city.
"Well, it's anti-American," Meadows said of violence that has broken out amid demonstrations in Portland, during a Wednesday morning."And this president—I traveled with him yesterday to Arizona as you know. Not only once, but a dozen times he says: 'We've gotta do something about it. We send in the FBI.'"
Meadows explained that President Donald Trump and his administration spoke to Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday about the situation. He also attacked Democrats, arguing that"it's time they side with President Trump," inaccurately claiming that the opposition party has backed the so-called"Defund the Police" movement.

Protests have continued for more than 80 consecutive nights since the death of George Floydco-host Brian Kilmeade then asked Meadows directly if the Trump administration would once again send federal agents to Portland as the demonstrations persist.
"Yeah, it looks like we're going to have to, they're not doing the job that they're doing," the White House official responded."When we look at that, we want to make sure that not just Portland's safe but every city across the country is safe." He added that the administration would"work with our local police departments" to prevent acts of violence.
