🚨 😡Remember that Portland rally that resulted in someone getting killed?

It was organized by a former Soviet family, now living in Idaho.

They used fake names.

“Oleg Volkov, a Portland-based associate of the family ... recorded video”

🇷🇺 THIS family in IDAHO organized a PORTLAND rally that caused a DEATH, and weeks of controversy.

“She and her relatives make up about half the congregation at the Fountain of Life Church, a local evangelical congregation that is led by a relative and holds services IN RUSSIAN.”

THIS 👇 is EXACTLY the kind of behavior that our media is supposed to be warning people to look out for on FACEBOOK - because it is EXACTLY what happened in 2016.

None of the people on the FACEBOOK GROUP knew this guy personally.

And once again, FACEBOOK could have easily detected and removed the account that promoted this Soviet family’s highly-polished, professional quality video - but they didn’t until AFTER the inflammatory footage got hundreds of thousands of views.

The former Soviet family who organized the extremely divisive Portland event - which inflamed American divisions, and caused weeks of controversy and the death of an American - showed “considerable sophistication,” in doing so.

CAN OUR MEDIA PLEASE START TALKING ABOUT THIS NOW?!

Isn’t it strange how we keep reading that this “Cruise” event wasn’t ever supposed to go into downtown Portland?

And yet, the woman behind the camera, who switches seamlessly between English and Ukrainian, tells everybody that it’s time to head to downtown Portland.
