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.

Local podcast host and video producer Andy Chandler was hired as a part-time videographer by City Councilor Dan Ryan, then fired soon afterward when Ryan’s office discovered Chandler’s public political views. “We had hired Andy Chandler to work as a videographer for us part-time, but as some information about his past expressions of personal views have come forward that are not in alignment with our office values, we have decided to end this employment arrangement,”...
late pass but it’s wild that the PDX mayor went on that dork-ass chud Andy Chandler’s far-right “NW Fresh” podcast.
Maybe he can go on Jack Posobiec’s Pizzagate Hitler Hour next.
