Next Portland mayor shows voters what to expect
A photo of the leading candidate for mayor of Portland, Ore., has resurfaced showing her wearing a skirt patterned with the faces of famous Communist dictators.
Sarah Iannarone — who, like all other candidates in the race, is unaffiliated with a political party — can be seen in the photo, shared earlier this week by independent journalist Andy Ngo, wearing a skirt covered in the faces of Che Guevara, Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin.
Iannarone is beating incumbent Mayor Ted Wheeler in the race, which uses a nonpartisan voting system in local elections, by upward of 11 points, according to the latest survey from local newspaper Willamette Week, published Monday.
The mother and Portland State University educator paired her Communist garb with a shirt from her campaign merchandise, bearing her first name.
Beside her posed an unidentified man with spiked hair, an odd-fitting white suit, and what appeared to be a black shirt and clerical collar.
A representative for Iannarone did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The progressive candidate told the Willamette Week late last month that she supported defunding the police, stating, “We must listen to our BIPOC community on issues impacting them most.”
“We’re asking police to do too much. The same officers we watch brutalizing protesters are not appropriate first responders for those experiencing houselessness or in mental health crisis. We need to provide real help for everyone who calls in a way that reflects our values,” she said.

Sarah Iannarone has been a very open leftist progressive throughout her whole run, so nothing mentioned above should come as as a surprise to anyone following her campaign. Frankly, that skirt is hardly anything to raise eyebrows in Portland regardless.
Ted Wheeler is so deeply unpopular because of how he's handled the protests that just about anyone could win against him now, anyway.

"I feel like a real communist wear sensible pantsuit, not a ridiculous skirt like that."
i find your "feelings" about real communist fashion to be critically important.
Perhaps you should start a blog...

You mean like the pantsuits Hillary Clinton used to wear?

The skirt makes her seem nutty, but what she's quoted as saying isn't.

Typical woke communist behavior. They don't realize just how hypocritical they look when they call Trump a psychopath (true) and then turn around and worship literal genocidal megalomaniacs.
"Defund the murderous police! Ignore the fact that Stalin and Mao literally killed over 50 million people!"

All the claims of mass murders by communists are just fascist propaganda.

R12 R13 Wow, some Medium piece (the equivalent of a blog post for those unfamiliar) written by "Morgan", a random kid who spends his time defending the Holodomor and the Chavez/Maduro regime because it makes his First World Communist™ brain uncomfortable. My mind and the minds of countless victims and historians have been changed!

BIPOC?
The acronym stands for black, Indigenous and people of color.

this is the reason why scores of democrat cubans and latinos in miami are switching to the republican party, because of motherfuckers like hers who want to destroy the democratic party.
the democrats will have to change the name of the party to CDP capitalist democratic party, to get rid of these fucking communist minorities infiltrating the party.

Aside from her questionable fashion choices and complete lack of personal style, who cares?

Wearing Mao's and Stalin's images on clothing should be immediate disqualifier for any public position.
No amount of 'progressive ideas' can make up for promoting communist reigns of terror.

r23 you are right, im cuban and if she was right in front of me i swear i would smash her head on the floor, this is totally disrespectful toward those of us who had to escape communism. never forget that these communists were just as homophobic as the nazis and many gays died because of these communists.

A checkered resume and identifies herself with Antifa. I don’t think she identifies as a Democrat though. Will she be setting up gulags?
Are protests still going on in Portland. The BLM movement has gone quiet.

Regardless, smashing someone's head on the floor for wearing whatever attire is called murder.
