The Daily Caller spoke with a pressure washer in downtown Portland, Oregon about how nightly riots have affected his ability to perform his job in the city.

Phillip said he works the graveyard shift cleaning city streets and bus stops for an area that typically includes the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse – an area recently targeted by rioters. He spoke to the Caller’s media reporter Shelby Talcott about what he has seen, experienced and how he has had to alter what he does as a result of the unrest.
