Trump to Governor Inslee Amid Seattle Antifa Revolt: 'Take Back Your City NOW. If You Don't, I Will.'
PJ Media ^ | 06/11/2020 | Tyler O' Neill

As antifa militants have taken over six blocks of Seattle’s Capitol Hill district, calling it the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” or the “People’s Republic of Capitol Hill,” Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan has refused to act, and Gov. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) actually laughed about this open revolt, claiming he hadn’t heard about it. He did say, however, that he was demobilizing the National Guard. President Donald Trump told Durkan and Inslee to get their acts together, stat.

“Radical Left Governor [Jay Inslee] and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before,” the president tweeted. “Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!”

President Trump is correct — this is not a game. Roughly 500 Americans live in the six city blocks that antifa militants have claimed in the name of their revolution. The anarchists in the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” appear to have set up an extortion racket to blackmail local businesses into forking over supplies.

Yet Jay Inslee appears to think it is a game.

Trump should stay out of it and let the State of Washington burn. They voted for the leadership that they have.
..........................................................
I totally agree that the President should stay out of it, and let the ‘rat politicians twist slowly in the wind hanging from their own nooses.

And yet there are STILL conservatives who will defend public schools.

‘OUR public schools aren’t like that!’

People in Seattle are having their civil rights violated.
..............................................
Really? Can you refer me to a source that is reporting citizen complaints that their civil rights are being violated? Because I’ve not seen any such reports or cries for deliverance.

Just like everything else, the Left targeted the FBI and infiltrated it.

That was the Kenyan Fraud’s publicly announced game plan before he was even elected, and he accomplished exactly what he set out to do.

The Democrats want him to screw up. I think he’s sitting back, watching them screw up.

President Trump’s best strategy is to loudly denounce the communists while giving the communists time, high visibility, a national platform, and plenty of rope.

Some may call his strategy mean, but I think it will work. And I support it.

My thoughts exactly!

What about states rights? If the Governor wants his state to burn down, let it happen.

What about the rights of the citizen? Especially those in the minority that didn’t vote for the hapless Democrats?

Have we reached the point where the only alternative is to re-locate if the Progressives attain power?

I’m pretty sure that President Trump will not intervene. The Democrats hope he does. The Democrats hope Trump sends in troops and shoots Americans down in the street. But the President isn’t going to fall for that. This is a Democrat problem. They can either have the chaos and destruction or the Democrat governor can send in the National Guard to shoot Americans down in the street.

I enthusiastically agree. They would consider themselves bailed out of their self induced mess, given an opportunity to change the subject. Let them own it.

Oh, I think it's on point.

I can see you enjoy being cleverly provocative. Why not, for the sake of variety, try being intelligent?

Then he needs to stop threatening to intervene.

Wake up and smell the flippin' coffee.

Saying stuff like this damages his credibility IMO.

You've learned nothing over the last four years?
