Seattle's moonbat mayor brings up possibility of expulsion of socialist councilwoman for ‘political theatre'
[Twitchy] We’ve written about Seattle City Councilwoman Kashama Sawant,
...properly spelt Kshama Sawant, according to Wikipedia, this immigrant from India claims she was so shocked by the poverty she saw when she arrived here that she gave up a career in software engineering to study economics. Kshama is not merely a Socialist, but an old-fashioned, full-bore (in both senses, I suspect) Trotskyite. She got her start in Seattle politics as an organizer for the local branch of Occupy Wall Street, which explains her enthusiasm for the current CHAZ/CHOP nonsense...
who’s a full-on socialist and heavily invested in the success of the tiny nation of CHOP: she blamed the first fatal shooting there on President Trump and the second on capitalism and its brutality. She’s also the one who unlocked the doors of city hall at the height of the George Floyd protests to let the protesters take over the building.

That last stunt has her in hot water with Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, who isn’t a full-blown socialist but is also heavily invested in CHOP, likening it to a “block party,” albeit one with a body count. Reports are that Durkan has had enough of Sawant and is seeking her possible expulsion from city council:

#8 The leftist always like to use the word empathy when describing the woke. If only the Mayor had some empathy for business, property owners and her cities own police station would she have cleaned this up before her $7.6 million dollar mansion was threatened by a member of her own city council.

Trump wins again!

#10 Seattle cops dismantle CHOP after mayor's house threatened. Didn't she say it was like a walk in the park or something similarly pathetic?

Oh, $7 million house, huh? I thought Maxine Waters had it good.
