Antifa marched through the streets of Portland, Oregon, on Inauguration Day carrying anti-Biden signs and anti-police placards, with one sign saying, “We don’t want Biden—We want revenge!”
According to one of the signs, Revenge is for “police murders, imperialist wars, and fascist massacres.”
A video tweeted by New York Times journalist Mike Baker shows a group of antifa protesters marching down a Portland street with the signs.

In a tweet, Baker said that he was criticized for calling the crowd “left-wing.” He clarified, calling the crowd a “mix of racial-justice, anti-fascist, anarchist, youth liberation, etc.”

Apart from smashing the Democratic Party headquarters’ windows, they burned American flags, sprayed graffiti on storefronts in Denver and Seattle, marched in Columbus, Ohio, and even wielded clubs and shields in Sacramento long after Biden was inaugurated.
In Denver, some carried communist and anti-fascist banners denouncing Biden and former President Donald Trump.
