President Trump reacted to demonstrators who toppled statues of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt in Portland overnight, saying  "Biden fools” and "Antifa radicals" were responsible as local Democratic leadership failed to bring in federal law enforcement.  

“These are Biden fools. ANTIFA RADICALS. Get them FBI, and get them now!” Trump tweeted Monday, responding to a video depicting the toppled statue of Lincoln in Portland’s South Park Block. The words “Stolen Land” can be seen spray-painted across its concrete base.

The president also responded to another video depicting a statue of Roosevelt, who is shown riding horseback, as someone in the crowd is heard shouting, “F--- all you colonizers. Every one of you that’s against Black Lives Matter can f--- the f--- off.” The statue is wrapped in rope and the crowd in Portland shouts as it shifts back and forth, before toppling to the ground. 

“Put these animals in jail, now. The Radical Left only knows how to take advantage of very dumb ‘leadership’ fools. This is Biden! Law & Order!” Trump wrote.
