Seattle's new socialist mayor pledged to 'stand with Somali health childcare providers' as she took a shot at Donald Trump during her inauguration.
Katie Wilson, 43, has drawn scrutiny for openly taking money from her parents to fund her life, and for her so-called 'communist' plans to remake the Emerald City.
In her first major speech in office, she acknowledged Trump's criticism of her campaign.
'I've been noticed by the president of the United States, who called me a "very, very liberal/communist mayor." It's nice to feel seen,' she said to laughs from the crowd.
Wilson has also taken shots at Trump and the Republican Party for going after the ongoing daycare fraud scandal in Minnesota.
On her first day in office, she tweeted out a condemnation of those going after the Somali community.
'I stand with the Somali childcare providers who have experienced targeted harassment, and condemn the surveillance campaign promoted by extremist influencers,' she wrote.
Notably, one of the speakers at her inauguration was Ifrah Abshir, a Somali migrant who was raised in Seattle and now attends to the University of Minnesota.
Abshir worked with Wilson on a program that allowed low-income students in the city to get free transit cards.
She appeared to take a not-so subtle shot at Republicans over the scandal, which has seen dozens arrested over alleged fraud of government funds.
'I realized very quickly that this country uses the same playbook: pick a vulnerable group, describe them as a threat, flood the media with accusations, then use the panic to justify collective punishment,' Abshir said.
'So as a Somali, immigrant, Muslim-American, our community knows this script very well. We had surveillance of our mosque, travel bans, a certain president calling us garbage.'

And here we go .......
Yeah, Katie, but
What does mommy and daddy have to say about it?
What a nauseating article. Those wonderful immigrants! They get free stuff and can do no wrong whatsoever. Pure as the driven snow.
Sicko freak has a thing for billionaire Somali Salami Tamales.
“stand with Somali health childcare providers”
First you have to find some.
Then make sure you give your handbag & purse to an aide before posing for photographs.
Arizona has a Katie. She’s an azho too.
Ahem. The House - the Republican majority house- just appropriated 5 billion to it. So they’re the same as a Seattle mayor
The very stupid Katie Wilson
I wonder how big of a kickback she’s going to want.
Not surprising. If any group wants to hurt the US, you can be sure that Seattle will be all for it.
Katie Wilson can’t tell right from wrong
So if there is no justice from the so called “system of justice” and ALL the bad guys get away (Comey, Brennan, Hillary, Walz, Obama, the Somali fraudsters.....) then we would need an alternative system or face the end of America.
China has long had plans to make America a powerless 24th Province with no rights, plundered for resources.
But people can say
“Well, we can be proud of one thing. We never resorted to vigilante justice.”
“You’re right. Pass the rutabaga soup, please.” 🥣
“Republican majority house- just appropriated 5 billion”
An example of exactly why the GOPe will lose the house in 296 days.
There's no difference between the GOP and the Tories in the UK.
Except we have Donald Trump.
IOW, keep those bribes flowing in to me...
can’t make this stuff up...wonder what her abortion policy is...
The left believes whatever they choose to believe, regardless of truth, no mater how obvious it is. I have never seen anything like it in this country before.
I’ll bet her folks agree with her 100%.
Loony liberals have elevated somali's to the newest exalted group?
