Pro-life activist was beaten up by Antifa rioters in Portland
A pro-life activist and independent journalist says he was beaten by a group of Antifa and other left-wing rioters in Portland, Oregon, as violent protests and riots continue to engulf the city. Tayler Hansen, who is is known as the founder of the “Baby Lives Matter” movement, took to Twitter on Wednesday to detail an attack he suffered at the hands of four violent activists wearing Antifa black bloc attire.
Hansen, who has made headlines for painting the phrase “BABY LIVES MATTER” on the streets in front of abortion clinics across the USA, had been covering the riots and unrest in Portland for several days prior to the attack.
Hansen was walking in the streets of Portland to film the chaos on Tuesday night. It didn’t take long for him to become the target of violent protesters. He provided video evidence documenting “two suspicious men” addressing him by name on a Portland street corner.
“I began walking away, a few blocks down there was a group of four dressed in Black bloc attire waiting for me around the corner,” Hansen explained. “They proceeded to beat me. I was punched in the face, thrown on the ground where they began kicking me in the back and hitting me in the face again.”
“As they fled one yelled ‘Stay out of Portland b****!’” he added. “I am thankful they stopped the beating when they did and didn’t use weapons to inflict harm or death upon me.”
The attack on Hansen comes just over a week after a Trump supporter was shot to death in Portland by a left-wing protester sympathetic to the “anti-fascist” movement. The suspect of that attack was shot and killed by Portland police last Thursday when they tried to take him into custody.
