A man handed the mayor of Portland, Ore., a can of soda during a city council meeting on Wednesday, mocking the beverage giant’s tone-deaf Kendall Jenner ad in an attempt to lighten up the tense gathering.
“How could someone just endure people coming and berating you every week?” Carlos Enrique asked Mayor Ted Wheeler. “The language of the resistance has not been properly translated to you. So this is for you.”
Enrique, a former Boston Herald reporter who recently moved to the ultra-liberal city, then stood up, approached Wheeler, and handed him a can of pop.
Wheeler held up his hand and said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not a good move,” — though he did accept the sugary drink.
“Not a smart move,” continued Wheeler, who is also the city’s police commissioner. “Thank you. I do appreciate it, but don’t do that again.”
He then chuckled and said, “Please folks, do not do that. For your own safety, don’t do that, OK? I appreciate it. Welcome to Portland. If this were the Boston City Council, that would’ve ended differently.”
Security officers then ushered out Enrique.

In recent months, protests delayed several Portland City Council meetings — or shut them down entirely, KGW reported.
Enrique’s stunt aped Jenner’s actions in the Pepsi ad — released on Tuesday and yanked on Wednesday — which shows the 21-year-old model using a can of soda to end a stand-off between cops and protesters.
The ad was universally blasted for trivializing the Black Lives Matter movement.
