god I fully missed that Dan Ryan (of course!) hired this alt right dipshit for a minute

“Portland City Councilor Hires, Then Immediately Fires Controversial Local Podcaster”

He’s also been open about his own anti-trans and right-wing views. To list just a few of Chandler’s online comments, he labeled Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU)’s gender-affirming care “illegal and damaging youth malpractice.” In a social media post on April 4, Chandler called the Oregon Department of Education’s DEI policies "discrimination based on race," appearing to support President Donald Trump’s push to end equity-based programs, and on more than one occasion he alluded to racial discrimination against white people in Portland as “pretty common.”

Chandler’s comments are consistent with provocative right-wing internet personalities, including Andy Ngo, a well known right-wing influencer. Chandler has left agreeable comments on at least two of Ngo’s posts on X and featured Ngo on an episode of his NW Fresh podcast.
