They're Escalating: Portland Protesters Harass Kash Patel During Funeral Visit

There is no decency in some people.

Case in point: During a visit to Portland, Oregon, to attend the funeral of a close friend, the hotel, rumored to be where FBI Director Kash Patel and his girlfriend were staying, was the target of angry left-wing mobs. Because, apparently, a member of the Trump administration can't even attend the funeral of a close friend without being subjected to mobs of unhinged left-wingers.

A swarm of agitators descended on the Oregon hotel where FBI Director Kash Patel was believed to be staying while attending a friend’s funeral over the weekend.
Video circulating on social media shows the crowd shouting as they convened outside the Sentinel Hotel in downtown Portland on Saturday night.
The group arrived to protest what they described as the "weaponization" of the FBI under President Donald Trump’s administration, as well as Patel’s handling of documents stemming from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to FOX 12 Oregon.

These people define "weaponization" as "enforcing the law." Granted, in many cases, most especially having to do with immigration, these lunatics had four years to become accustomed to the law not being enforced.

But honestly, Director Patel was reportedly in town to attend the funeral of a friend. A funeral. Of a close enough friend that Director Patel apparently acted as a pallbearer. That's just indecent.

Sources confirmed to Fox News Digital that Patel and his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins were in town over the weekend to attend a funeral for a close friend.
Patel helped carry the friend's casket during the service, sources said. The funeral was scheduled for Saturday and set to take place in Portland, according to an obituary shared with Fox News.
The protesters obtained Patel's suspected travel itinerary using publicly available tracking data to follow a Department of Justice aircraft believed to be connected to the FBI director, FOX 12 reported.

Granted, Portland may well be the most left-wing city in the United States. It's a stronghold for the ironically pro-fascist Antifa. It's a bastion of unhinged leftism. But one would think that they would be decent enough to allow someone to attend their friend's funeral in peace; the fact that they don't speaks loudly as to what kind of people these are.

We should note as well that this was a well-organized effort; the goblins actually employed reconnaissance.

Demonstrators then reportedly narrowed down the hotel in which Patel was believed to be a guest by observing security measures throughout the downtown area.
"It wasn’t 100% confirmed but very likely he was at the Sentinel," one protester told FOX 12. "We were there to protest the weaponization of Trump’s and Patel’s FBI to suppress our freedom of speech and freedom of press."

Now, look at that last statement: "...to suppress our freedom of speech." It's belaboring the obvious to point out that this "protester" was in fact exercising his, her, xir or xor free speech even at that moment. Talking freely to a reporter, mobbing a hotel, putting your unhinged, spittle-flecked statements on social media, that's all free speech.

So, what exactly are they protesting against?

There's no rationality in these people. There's no decency in these people. All of that has been wiped away by Stage IV Trump Derangement Syndrome, and acts like this don't bode well for the summer to come, this summer of 2026, when the midterm election campaigns are getting underway.

Watch your sixes, folks.
