Seattle Mayor Who Enabled Violent CHOP Calls For Investigation Of Councilwoman Who Made Her Feel Unsafe
July 1, 2020 By Paulina Enck
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan was overwhelmingly supportive of the protesters and rioters taking over her city — until they came to her door. She called yesterday for an investigation into socialist Councilwoman Kshama Sawant, who led the protest outside Durkan’s home.
After Durkan walked back her support for CHOP (or CHAZ), the violent autonomous zone that plagued Seattle until recently, members of Seattle’s far-left, with whom Durkan was already wildly unpopular, were furious. This prompted the “defund the police†protest outside Durkan’s house, where Sawant in a speech called for Durkan’s resignation.
Durkan, who spent the past month praising the protests and refusing to take action until multiple shootings and murders forced her hand, has suddenly decided the protests must be suppressed. She wrote to the leader of the Seattle City Council, Lorena Gonzalez, calling for Sawant to be investigated, to either be punished or expelled for “recklessly undermin[ing] the safety of others, all for political theatre.â€
It is incredibly ironic that Durkan is accusing Sawant of “recklessly undermin[ing] the safety of others.†The rioting and lawless CHOP, which Durkan enabled, caused far more risk and harm than anything the mayor and her family experienced.
