Seattle's New Mayor Joins the Left's Push to Classify Somali Fraud Investigations As 'Hate Crimes'
Townhall ^ | January 02, 2026 | Amy Curtis

Posted on 01/02/2026 4:06:20 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Democrats like crime and fraud, especially when the criminals and fraudsters are from the party's preferred demographic groups. There's no other way to explain it, because Democrats are fighting very hard to protect Somali fraudsters in Minnesota, Washington, and elsewhere while enacting pro-crime, pro-criminal policies like cashless bail and other "criminal justice reform" legislation.

In Minnesota, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty has said the investigations and fraud allegations are "far-right propaganda" and vowed prosecutions. In Washington, Attorney General Nick Brown also threatened independent journalists, writing on X, "My office has received outreach from members of the Somali community after reports of home-based daycare providers being harassed and accused of fraud with little to no fact-checking. We are in touch with the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families regarding the claims being pushed online and the harassment reported by daycare providers. Showing up on someone’s porch, threatening, or harassing them isn’t an investigation. Neither is filming minors who may be in the home. This is unsafe and potentially dangerous behavior."

Now, newly-installed Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is joining the Left's push to undermine the First Amendment and attack journalism as a "hate crime."

"I stand with the Somali childcare providers who have experienced targeted harassment, and condemn the surveillance campaign promoted by extremist influencers," Wilson wrote on X, before directing users to the state's hate crimes website.

In a statement, Wilson wrote, "In Seattle we believe in solidarity, and our city will not tolerate anyone who is trying to intimidate, harass, or film Somali childcare providers. Such behavior is unacceptable and puts children and families at risk. Family home childcare programs are places of care, safety, and trust. They are privately operated businesses, not public spaces. And they are regulated by the government, not private individuals or groups."

Every crime can be classified as a hate crime against the American people in general. Take the tools of the left and start using it against them.

Just proves there’s a lot of money they rely on in jeopardy.

Now’s the time to hit them hard and don’t let up. We need to put the squeeze on the perps to get them to rate out the higher ups. Let the bastards swing in the wind a little.

ADAWA members encompass licensed childcare centers, home childcare agencies,Montessori schools, elementary schools, preschools, private schools, and school-age programs. ADAWA provides a forum for the owners, managers, and boards of these organizations to collaborate, aiming to maintain and improve childcare quality and expand the range of licensed childcare choices available to Washingtonian families through certified and customized services. ADAWA member centers are located throughout Washington state. Most operate as small businesses, with one or more locations within a single community. Others function as non-profits, managed by churches, mosques, temples, or neighborhood and Indigenous groups. Some are part of larger commercial enterprises or workplaces.

“Hate Crimes”

The Somalis hate America and all it stands for, so the crimes entailing fraud, waste and abuse are fully justified as a form of reparations to the community now settled in the US being forced to make some effort to be assimilated into the rest of the population.

“You’re trying to destroy our culture of being bandits, pirates and grifters like we were in Somalia!” Nobody is permitted to push the Somalis around, nosiree, Bob.
