   PORTLAND, Ore. — The mayor of Portland, Ted Wheeler, was left   
   coughing and wincing in the middle of his own city on Wednesday   
   night after federal officers deployed tear gas into a crowd of   
   protesters that Mr. Wheeler had joined outside the federal   
   courthouse.   
      
   Mr. Wheeler, who scrambled to put on goggles while denouncing   
   what he called the “urban warfare” tactic of the federal agents   
   in Oregon, said that he was outraged by the use of tear gas and   
   that it only made protesters more angry.   
      
   “I’m not going to lie — it stings; it’s hard to breathe,” Mr.   
   Wheeler said. “And I can tell you with 100 percent honesty, I   
   saw nothing which provoked this response.”   
      
   He called it an “egregious overreaction” on the part of the   
   federal officers, and not a de-escalation strategy.   
      
   “It’s got to stop now,” he declared.   
      
   But the Democratic mayor, 57, has also long been the target of   
   Portland protesters infuriated by the city police’s own use of   
   tear gas, which was persistent until a federal judge ordered the   
   city to use it only when there was a safety issue. As Mr.   
   Wheeler went through the crowd, some threw objects in his   
   direction and others called for his resignation, chanting, “Tear   
   Gas Teddy.”   
      
   Fuck you Wheeler, you cunt.
