Seattle Mayor: Trump Doing ‘Dry Run for Martial Law’ and Is ‘Responsible’ for Riots in City |
2020-07-30 |
[BREITBART] On Monday’s broadcast of CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... ’s "OutFront," Seattle Mayor Jenny Summer of LoveDurkan ...Democrat Maress of Seattle, who allowed a chunk of the downtown of her city to be turned into an autonomous combat zone... (D) stated that President Trump’s actions "were responsible for what happened this weekend" in Seattle and "we are seeing the dry run for martial law." Durkan also stated that the best way to bring peace to the city "is to bring more justice to the systems." Durkan said, "We don’t need the help that the president’s offering, and, in fact, I think the president’s actions have directly escalated and were responsible for what happened this weekend. Many people who were interviewed by media said they came to the protest because of what’s happening in Portland. The protest itself was billed as something in solidarity with Portland. And so, we are — today, I requested the Department of Homeland Security — since there was no actions directed against the federal properties here — to ask them to remove the standby team that they have." Host Erin Burnett then asked, "Let me ask you, mayor, because some of these images, they’re ugly. I mean, a Starbucks destroyed in the protests, a construction site for a juvenile detention facility set on fire, Seattle police say officers were burned when protesters threw bombs at them, and look, a lot of what’s happening here, this is not peaceful. This is just Durkan responded, "No. Again, the president’s actions clearly have escalated things in Seattle, and across the country. I was just talking to a number of mayors throughout the country who saw a similar thing that — people wanting to act out against the president and his administration coming to the streets. I believe, if you look at what happened yesterday and Sunday, again, it was peaceful. We had a number of peaceful protests. And what we’ve seen is, every time this president promises to sow division, he’s successful at it. And he’s clearly targeted cities run by Democratic mayors. He’s said so himself. He’s using law enforcement as a political tool. I hate to say it, Erin, but I really believe that we are seeing the dry run for martial law. This is a president that is using law enforcement and federal forces for political purposes, and that should be chilling to every American." She further stated that "the number one thing we can do to bring peace to the streets in Seattle and across America is to bring more justice to the systems." |

#10 I'd be curious to see an honest poll of Seattle voters regarding recalling this character. |

#8 Wow he can make the democrat party armed wing riot? Is this the delusional 1/3rd of the Dems that say the riots are a false flag? |

#6 In related news, today's Seattle Slimes reports Boeing's latest financials along with speculation that among the future anticipated job cuts, all 787 production will be in South Carolina. With 747 production ending and 777/777x delayed, if the Dreamliner does consolidate in SC, then the Everett site would be asically empty. |

#5 This mayor is a disgrace to Seattle and the rest of the country. She is aiding and abetting the rioters and rioting. If she doesn't have the wherewithal to shut this disgrace down, STFU and step down. |

#1 Trump supporters are not violent but hers are and it is his fault instead of her and her violent brownshirt gangs. More justice to the systems is an empty phrase. |
