PORTLAND, Oregon — During the first presidential debate of 2020 on Tuesday night, there were multiple mentions of Portland, including the local law enforcement.
After debate moderator Chris Wallace asked the candidates about race issues in America, President Trump brought up the support of one specific official:
"I have Portland; the sheriff just came out today and said, 'I support President Trump.'"

There is no sheriff of Portland, but Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese tweeted that he does not and will never support President Trump.
