The Portland Police Bureau with assistance from the FBI are investigating a video death threat made against Mayor Ted Wheeler by a self-described Antifa collective. The Post Millennial can report exclusively that a left-wing journalist is linked to the video.

The disturbing two-minute video was posted Wednesday night on Twitter by a newly created account named, “@knotathreat.” It was quickly shared and promoted among Portland’s Antifa and extremist far-left accounts. TPM is not posting the video because it includes a home address associated with Wheeler.

The video shows a masked person standing in front of a MAX Light Rail train in downtown Portland while a distorted voice narrates a speech.

“We come to you as a small collective from within the anarchist and antifascist community.

“We are not just challenging the idea of having Ted as a mayor. We are challenging the idea of having mayors at all. We want abolition. Abolition is absolute.”

The narrator rejects peaceful protests and voting, claiming that violence is necessary when “those in power have proven they are unwilling to listen and have made the choice to ignore you.”

Toward the end of the video, the narrator says: “Ted, we are asking for the last time that you resign. If you ignore this message outright, the destruction to your precious way of life is going to escalate. Blood is already on your hands, Ted. And next time it may just be your own.”
