The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office’s Twitter account retweeted both of Reese’s tweets.
During the chaotic debate in Cleveland, Trump touted support from “almost every law enforcement group in the United States” after being asked why he should be trusted to deal with “race issues.”
“I have Florida. I have Texas. I have Ohio. I have, excuse me, Portland — the sheriff just came out today, and he said, ‘I support President Trump,’” Trump said.

“I don’t think you have any law enforcement,” the president told Democratic nominee Joe Biden

Democrats rip Trump for not condemning white supremacists, Proud Boys at debate MORE. “You can’t even say the word law enforcement because if you say those words, you’re gonna lose all of your radical left supporters.”
Trump’s assertions come after protests against racial injustice and police brutality have broken out across the country this year, including in Portland, sometimes turning violent.
Biden responded to the president by saying he supports law and order and refuting Trump's remarks that he supports the movement to defund the police.
The president’s campaign has framed Biden as incapable of handling the demonstrations, while the former vice president has retorted that the protests and violence are occurring during Trump’s presidency.
