Unhinged Mob Targets Elderly Woman Leaving TPUSA Event at Portland State
Portland, OR — What began as a peaceful Turning Point USA event featuring women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines ended in chaos and disgrace Monday night, as far-left activists descended into verbal violence, intimidation, and harassment of elderly attendees, including a disabled woman relying on a cane to walk.
After failing to shut down the event, agitators waited outside and surrounded attendees, spewing profanities and grotesque insults—including targeting a senior woman simply trying to reach her car.
“Make the world a better place, go decompose,” one of the masked agitators hissed.
“Kill yourself,” another male screamed as a police officer stepped in to shield the woman.
“I hope you die behind the wheel, you stupid transphobic b****,” added another, mocking her disability and pace as she leaned on her cane.
Despite the harassment, the woman showed grace and strength, refusing to engage while being escorted to safety by law enforcement.
Five Arrested as Violence Escalates
According to Portland Police, the mob didn’t stop at verbal attacks. The Post Millennial reports:
“Antifa and far-left militants at the Turning Point USA Riley Gaines event assaulted police officers, attempted to break into the building, and harassed attendees. Five individuals were arrested.”
Police were called around 7 PM to assist university security outside Smith Memorial Student Union, where the situation had deteriorated. Over the next 90 minutes, multiple arrests were made.
Riley Gaines Responds
Gaines, who has become a national figure in the fight to protect women’s sports from male infiltration, remained undaunted:
“Lots of things I’m scared of—spiders, clowns, etc—but a man in a dress will never be one of them,” she posted.
Her event went forward despite attempted disruptions from the radical opposition—some of whom allegedly tried to forcibly enter the venue.
Where Is the Outrage?
Critics are now demanding answers:
-
Where is the condemnation from university leadership?
-
Where is the media coverage of a disabled senior citizen being targeted by political extremists?
-
Where is the accountability for masked thugs who scream death threats at women?
Despite the arrests, many worry that Portland’s long record of tolerance for left-wing violence will once again allow these agitators to walk free without real consequences.
Bottom Line
Monday’s events weren’t just shameful—they were a chilling reflection of how far radical ideology has dehumanized dissent. When masked men can surround and terrorize an elderly woman in public—simply for attending a peaceful event—and feel righteous doing so, we are not dealing with protest. We are dealing with political hatred weaponized against basic decency.
These are not protesters. These are cowards.
