Leftist protesters in Washington, D.C., and Portland, Oregon, burned U.S. flags during election night protests.
In Portland, protesters yelled “Black Lives Matter” and “F*ck Ted Wheeler” while burning a flag on the street,” The Oregonian’s Maxin Bernstein tweeted.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler narrowly won re-election Tuesday night. The incumbent mayor defeated the self-proclaimed Antifa-supporting candidate Sarah Iannarone and community activist write-in candidate Teresa Raiford.
In Washington, D.C., protesters ignited an American flag on a street just blocks away from the White House, journalist Brendan Gutenschwager tweeted.
