Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan defended the anarchists who overtook several blocks of the city and created a Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, saying what they’ve done is patriotic. Townhall's Julio Rosas is in Seattle covering the CHAZ, however, and his reporting shows that's far from the case.
In a series of tweets, Durkan said President Trump “doesn’t understand” what’s happening in the city. “Cal Anderson and Capitol Hill has for decades been a place for free speech, community, and self expression,” she said. “Lawfully gathering and expressing first amendment rights, demanding we do better as a society and provide true equity for communities of color is not terrorism - it is patriotism.”
This ‘patriotic’ act has resulted in anarchists reportedly hurling objects at police, who are forbidden from the area, food shortages, sexual assault, allegations of extortion, and the rise of a warlord of sorts.
“The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone #CHAZ is not a lawless wasteland of anarchist insurrection - it is a peaceful expression of our community's collective grief and their desire to build a better world. Given his track record, it's not hard to believe that Trump is wrong, yet again,” she added.
