While the identity of the victim has not been publicly released, both sides of the political divide were quick to blame each other for encouraging the violence that led to the killing. The clash in Portland, the site of the nation’s most enduring recent protests, came amid a tumultuous week as demonstrators gathered again on Saturday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, over the police shooting of a black man.
Trump took aim at people protesting against racism and police brutality on Friday, saying they are “just looking for trouble”. He will visit Kenosha on Tuesday, the White House announced on Saturday night. On Sunday, Lara Trump, a campaign adviser, said the president may meet Blake’s family.
