Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Is Moving Out Of His $800K Condo After Rioters Ransack His Home – By Chris White (Daily Caller) / Sept 2 2020
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is moving out of his home after rioters descended on the Democrat’s $800,000 condo Monday, setting fires and breaking windows, according to a Tuesday report.
Wheeler sent an email Tuesday to other residents in his high-rise condo saying that finding a different home would be “best for me and for everyone else’s safety and peace,” according to The Oregonian. Portlanders have experienced daily riots since the death of George Floyd, who died in May after a police officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes, video of the incident shows.
“I want to express my sincere apologies for the damage to our home and the fear that you are experiencing due to my position,” Wheeler, a Democrat, wrote in the email, a screenshot obtained by The Oregonian shows. “It’s unfair to all of you who have no role in politics or in my administration.”
Wheeler bought the condo for $840,000 three years ago, The Oregonian noted, citing county property records.
