Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan issued a letter Tuesday calling on city councilmembers to open an investigation into Kshama Sawant, and possibly expel her from the dais.
Durkan points to what she labels “disorderly or otherwise contemptuous behavior” from Councilmember Sawant. In the letter directly addressed to Council President Lorena Gonzalez, she cites a handful of specific incidents.
That includes:
Allegations that Sawant violated City hiring rules by giving decision-making authority to Socialist Alternative, a complaint dating back to late-2018/early-2019
Charges filed in early February by the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission accusing Sawant of using her position and resources as a city councilmember to promote her “Tax Amazon” campaign
Allowing a crowd protesters inside of City Hall in early June
Allegations she “encouraged attendants” at a June 28 rally to “illegally ‘occupy’ City Property, the East Precinct, at a time the City has been trying to de-escalate the situation and ask individuals to depart because of violence in the area”
Allegations she led a march to Mayor Durkan’s home over the weekend; Durkan’s address is redacted in official documents over threats made against her during her time as a U.S. Attorney
The letter also alleges that Sawant’s followers vandalized Durkan’s home “by spray-painting obscenities,” while asking city council to “fully investigate” Sawant to “determine if action should be taken.”
“Durkan had a sudden revelation that she ought to try playing sane for awhile.”
Yes, that is why she referred her complaints to the Committee of Public Safety.
Is her old friend Maximilien still running the committee?
Now that it’s blown up in her face, the mayor is looking for a scapegoat.
CC
the plan was to get all the crazies away from downtown, the tourist spots and big hotels and put them all into CHAZ.
the elites tolerated this and really don’t care about the rioters so long as they don’t come to their rich neighborhoods.
but as you can see, once it does hits the rich neighborhoods, action becomes swift.
> Commie fight! <
Bolsheviks vs. Mensheviks. It’s worth noting that the more ruthless Bolsheviks won that fight. So what will happen here? I don’t see Mayor Durkan as a ruthless Bolshevik. So I’m not putting any money in her.
Translation....”Protests are good as long as you are not protesting the Mayor!”
My, my, the Council’s little pet revolutionary crapped on the PTB’s carpet. Such a shame. I doubt Sawant’s in much trouble, to be cynical: she’s just been reelected in one of those amazing King County Miracle Of The Missing Votes Come From Behind Victories, and she has troops she can put on the street. Jaded Seattle yuppies looking for excitement (possibly short one Jeffrey Bezos) love her for sticking it to The Man, even if in this case The Man is a radical lesbian. A pox on both their houses. (That little snippet from Shakespeare would probably get me banned from Twitter these degenerate days)...
Now I can clearly see why muslim men make their women wear veils. Yuck!
You can’t expel an elected official for anything.
Marxist cat fight.
They should fight in the Scottish way:
With knives, bare chested, and holding a baby in one arm.
(with apologies to Black Adder and everyone’s mental images)
It’s all shyts and giggles supporting the rabble, until the rabble comes to you. Karma’s a bitch, and a bigger one than you, mayor
I enjoy watching ‘rats eviscerate each other!
Yeah....don’t say that too loudly. Durkin might do it
The letter also alleges that Sawant’s followers vandalized Durkan’s home “by spray-painting obscenities,” while asking city council to “fully investigate” Sawant to “determine if action should be taken.”
Now you've gone too far.
Sure seems Trump’s strategy is paying BIG dividends.
The schadenfreude is soooooo sweet.
I believe I will have some more with another cup of coffee
I still think this is all Kabuki Theater.
