Portland mayor aims to nix 'Trump Free Speech Rally', fears 'hatred', after light rail attack


Authorities say Christian started verbally abusing two young women, including one wearing a hijab. President Donald Trump condemned the stabbings, writing Monday on Twitter: "The violent attacks in Portland on Friday are unacceptable. Wheeler urged organizers to cancel a "Trump Free Speech Rally" and other similar events next weekend, saying they are inappropriate and could be dangerous. Mangum told news station KPTV that she and her 17-year-old friend were riding the train when Christian started yelling at them. Wheeler wants that permit revoked, saying main concern was participants "coming to peddle a message of hatred," saying hate speech is not protected by the Constitution.
