A podcaster recently dubbed “very attractive” by former President Donald Trump reported being assaulted on Saturday outside the ICE facility in Portland by an alleged member of Antifa.

Brandi Kruse, a prominent right-wing social media figure known for her extensive coverage of the ICE protests in Oregon, was previously at a White House roundtable on Antifa where Trump made his unexpected comment.

Kruse alleges that weeks after the roundtable, she was attacked by a man she identified as part of a group of Antifa activists. According to Kruse, the group retreated to a well-known “safe house” following the incident.

Footage circulating on social media captures a group of seven individuals hurriedly leaving the scene of the purported attack. The man Kruse accuses of assaulting her was dressed in a camouflage jacket and had his face partly concealed by a keffiyeh.

The rest of the alleged Antifa members were dressed in all black, complete with helmets and sunglasses. One individual in the group was carrying a transgender pride flag.

Kruse’s friend Jonathan Choe, an independent journalist with the Discovery Institute, repeatedly asked the man why he assaulted Kruse. The group only responded with vulgar taunts.

‘If you’re gonna assault women, why don’t you show your face?’ Choe yelled out at one point.

One of the women shouted back a crude reference at Choe.

Brandi Kruse, an Emmy-winning journalist who went independent in 2021, said she was assaulted by a man that was part of an alleged Antifa group

The man in the camo jacket is who Kruse said assaulted her. When he sees he’s being filmed by Choe, he puts on a keffiyeh to further obscure his identity

The group then arrives at what Choe and others have called an Antifa safehouse. 

Clearly visible in the window was a Palestinian flag, a ‘Fight Oligarchy’ shirt and a sign that reads, ‘Regulating Capitalism Only Delays Oligarchy.’

‘This is the proof ladies and gentlemen that Antifa uses a safehouse, there is coordination with people in this building just a block away,’ Choe said.

‘Your journalism sucks!’ one of the women said as she hid her face behind an umbrella while jetting to the ‘safe house.’ 

Kruse, pleased with Choe’s efforts, thanked him for ‘chasing down an Antifa goon for me,’ adding that he was a ‘true friend’.

Because of her coverage of Antifa, a group the Trump administration deemed a terrorist organization, Kruse got an audience with the president during an October 8 event where conservative influencers talked about their experiences on the ground in Portland.

Kruse, an Emmy-Award-winning journalist, left Seattle’s Fox affiliate in 2021 to start her current independent platform and confessed to Trump that she used to have ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’, a term that describes liberals’ over-the-top disgust for him.

‘I’m living proof that you can recover from TDS,’ she said. ‘I had strong Trump Derangement Syndrome for probably eight years. This is one of the reasons I’ve recovered from it.’

‘And by the way, it’s much better to not have TDS. I’m happier, I’m healthier, more successful. I even think I got a little more attractive after I got rid of my Trump Derangement Syndrome.’

‘Very attractive,’ Trump said under his breath. 

President Donald Trump is pictured as Kruse is speaking. He agreed with her assessment that she was ‘more attractive’ after she shed her ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’

The so-called Antifa safehouse in Portland, which has been covered by Kruse, was discussed Wednesday on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show.

Right-wing influencer Nick Sortor joined Ingraham because he had filmed inside the apartment, where a 29-year-old man named Chandler Patey lives.

Patey, himself an antifascist, freely admitted to The Oregonian that he has been allowing protestors to use his apartment to wash off pepper spray, recuperate and store various supplies.

‘Ironically, it’s technically not wrong to say that this is an anti-fascist safehouse, because if you’re an anti-fascist, then you’re allowed in,’ Patey said. ‘If you need to use the restroom, that’s totally cool, man. Just don’t make a mess of things.’

He called Sortor’s allegation that he and other protestors are conducting paramilitary operations ‘insane’.

Patey also sought to clarify that there is no centralized Antifa organization and that the term Antifa only refers t people who ‘don’t like fascism’.

In Trump’s executive order, he describes Antifa as ‘a militarist, anarchist enterprise’ that recruits and trains young Americans to engage in violence against ICE agents and other federal officers.
