Elmo shows up to crash anti-ICE protest in Portland, X has a field day with video

Just when you think Portland couldn’t get any weirder, some guy in an Elmo costume shows up to crash an anti-ICE protest.

Whose side is the furry red puppet on? What does he stand for? What are his thoughts on the current political tensions in the United States?

Well, none of these questions got answered, but if you’re looking for a video of a in an Elmo costume harassing Antifa protesters who are demonstrating against President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement action, you’re in the right place:

Portland, OR. ICE building. The Elmo highlight reel. Someone in an Elmo costume showed up and walked around ICE and ended up in the antifa encampment last night. At one point Elmo claims someone kicked him and touched him. Circus like atmosphere last night. pic.twitter.com/5ULORskIrh

The performance confused demonstrators, and according to a Fox News report. While it’s not clear who exactly was behind the mask, the character spent some time trolling protesters outside the ICE facility in Portland, so it’s safe to say he’s probably not one of them.

X users had a field day with the video:

Alright, while I think antifa are a bunch of retards, I must admit I laughed WAY too hard at this video….. “oh my God, oh my God they’re touching meeeee” -Elmo
Followed by you going “oh they’re hurting Elmo guys”

I’ve always known humor can defuse situations but apparently it completely throws people off balance.

From this it appears they have absolutely no idea how to react. Trying to act militant and revolutionary with Elmo doing the Cabbage Patch in front of you has to demoralizing

LOL she should have added stranger danger when she said they were touching her. I think she should be joined by Big Bird , Kermit, and Oscar . They would go nuts.

Ok I’m listening. Maybe Elmo needs a dozen friends in Sesame Characters to join him. Like MMA students needing some street fighting experience

Elmo being attacked by the terrorist organization known as Antifa is very bad optics. pic.twitter.com/PRTcmMnsV0

Good! Law enforcement is a joke in OR and WA. These Antifa fucks have been doing this crap for months. Destroying property, disturbing the peace, assaulting officers and nothing happens to them. Their asses would be in jail here in TX or FL.
