The mixed messages from Mayor Jenny Durkan and Police Chief Carmen Best come amid wall-to-wall coverage on the zone on conservative news outlets and a barrage of tweets from President Donald Trump blasting the city’s response to what he says is an “anarchist takeover.”
 
“These Liberal Dems don’t have a clue,” Trump tweeted on Friday morning. “The terrorists burn and pillage our cities, and they think it is just wonderful, even the death. Must end this Seattle takeover now!”
Trump continued his criticism of Seattle in an interview that aired Friday afternoon with Fox News' Harris Faulkner.
"You can look at a couple of places that are in such great shape, but then you look at Seattle," Trump said. "What's that all about? How did they allow that to happen? That's just a bad philosophy."
Michael Solan, the president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, also told Faulkner that the situation in the city was out of control.

  1. If Politico had been around in the 1950's they'd have been reporting on how great life was in the Soviet Union, how Joseph Stalin was truly a great and progressive leader and so loved by his people.
    The CHAZ is a classic hippie set up. Create a commune, live without obligations except to some set of "woke" principles, and survive on food, electricity and clean water provided for free by the outside while condemning that outside for not living like you.
