Kristi Noem praised for 'staring down' Antifa. It was a dozen reporters and a guy in a chicken suit

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/kristi-noem-portland-visit-antifa-chicken-b2841736.html

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem appeared in Portland, Oregon, Tuesday, in a display of government power responding to an “army of Antifa.” Pictures from the scene revealed that “army” was approximately a dozen photographers and protesters on a street corner, including a man in a chicken costume.

Noem was photographed, during the day, on the roof of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, surveying the street below. The facility has been the site of nightly anti-immigration raid protests – some of which have turned aggressive recently as federal law enforcement clash with demonstrators.

Not anybody *I* know, that's for sure.

Edit: Oh, praised by internet rando RWNJ.

Conservative influencer Benny Johnson, who joined Noem on the visit, posted a video from the roof, referring to her looking onto the “army of Antifa” – a nebulous left-wing, anti-fascist movement - often targeted by President Donald Trump
