Effort to remove socialist councilmember (Sawant) accused of misconduct during Seattle riots can proceed, court rules
Washington Examiner ^ | 4/01/21 | Jake Dima

The Washington Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the effort to remove a Seattle councilwoman, who was accused of allowing protesters into city hall during riots in the city, can proceed.

City official Kshama Sawant, a socialist, faced a recall after she purportedly "admitted hundreds of people into Seattle City Hall," "led a protest march to Mayor Jenny Durkan’s private residence," and "failed to comply with public disclosure requirements," the court wrote.

Charges were "factually and legally sufficient for recall," and the effort was allowed to continue, justices concluded.

**SNIP**

A group committed to preserving Sawant's spot on the government body has blamed business and "right wing" influence for the recall effort.

“Big biz and the right wing are furious about the impact of socialist politics and social movements in Seattle & how we have inspired working people around the country,” the organization wrote on Twitter. “They are now trying to use the courts & their deep pockets to overturn Councilmember Sawant’s 2019 re-election.”

Durkan's address was supposed to be kept secret. Kshama ruined all that.

She led an insurrection, and should have been arrested and kicked out of office that very day.

“She led an insurrection...”


Don’t be absurd. Insurrection is when an armed, white supremest, anti-democracy riotous ‘mob’ enters the holy precinct of government, as for example what occurred on January 6th.

Large groups of mostly-peaceful socialists or BLM protestors (as occurred at the Iowa Capitol last week) are merely citizens exercising their right to to be in public buildings to observe the workings of their government. Can’t you see how different the two situations are?

Yeah, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation.

This is only happening because Durkan is a former U.S. attorney and giving out her address endangered her life. If she was another Democrat without this background, this recall effort wouldn’t exist.

I hope they do remove her. Anyone supporting the destructive rioting that physically aided BLM/Antifa entry into public buildings should be barred from public office.

She has hate filled eyes. The very personification of evil. This is the type that would start up the killing fields without a moment’s hesitation.
