When Mayor Jenny Durkan (D-Seattle) finally sent police in to clear up the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) Occupied Protest (CHOP) — perhaps better referred to as “Antifastan” (no offense to Central Asian countries) — she only acted because President Donald Trump was about to do so if she delayed. The president himself confirmed a rumor to that effect on Sean Hannity’s show Thursday night. Trump said he forced Durkan’s hand to restore law and order after antifa militants had seized territory in Seattle.
“I had a source that told me, I was not able to confirm it, that one of the reasons that the Seattle mayor finally acted is that they were given notice that if they didn’t act that you were going to. Is there any truth to that?” Hannity asked.
“A hundred percent,” Trump replied. “We were going in, we were going in very soon, we let them know that. And they, all of a sudden, they didn’t want that. So they went in before we got there.”
“But we were going in very shortly, very soon, and we would have taken the CHOP, they call it, CHOP. We would have taken it back very easily,” the president added. “But they went in and, frankly, the people just gave up, they were tired, they had it for a very long period of time.”
Later on in the interview, Trump added, “We were all set to go into Seattle. Quite frankly, I looked forward to it.”
Antifa and Black Lives Matter militants seized six blocks of Seattle in early June, dubbing the area an “autonomous zone,” CHAZ. They set up signs telling visitors they were “leaving the United States.” In doing so, they arguably acted like the Paris Commune of 1871, a historical rebellion

“another Kent State”
uh, whatever would have happened it wouldn’t have been “another kent state” because kent state involved a bunch of unarmed protesting students, whereas the seattle anarchy zone was filled with armed, murderous criminals ... so if there had been any shooting it would have been LEOs responding to being shot at by armed, murderous criminals ... BIG difference with what happened at kent state ...
“Inslee is trying to stir up liberal base against conservative, his polling is very bad and he might actually be beat this election.”
He’s pissed off everyone who isn’t in Seattle or the college towns. 80% of this state could go back to normal, everywhere that doesn’t support him, basically. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy seeing 99% of the people outside not wearing masks.
Thugs back down easily when faced with an equal or greater threat... It's why when thugs beat up an innocent on the street it's usually 5 thugs taking on one wounded vet or an 80 year old woman.
Lowlifes are evil and cowardly unless they outnumber citizens or feel they have 'a pass'...
Cops could have confronted them but they were told to stand down... Frightening citizens is a tactic democrat mayors use to make the fearful turn to them for 'protection' ... We're dealing with evil here...
Thank you President Trump for seeing this and for putting a stop to it.
The only way to control those two treasonous bastards is to fire them then keep firing until he finds someone loyal who can take orders and get on board with the administration. He would be better off with a loyal janitor than these guys.

I’m going to vote for Culp, too. He’s a straight shooter, and he loves our state. I’m in Skagit County and his signs are everywhere.
