Seattle's mayor said that "autonomous zone" protesters are patriots, and not, as President Donald Trump called them, "domestic terrorists."

Since Monday, protesters have occupied a section of the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood after clashing with police during a Black Lives Matter demonstration.

"Demanding we do better as a society and provide true equity for communities of color is not terrorism — it is patriotism," Mayor Jenny Durkan tweeted.

Trump on Thursday tweeted that the protesters were "ugly Anarchists" who "must be stopped IMMEDIATELY."

Seattle's mayor scolded President Donald Donald Trump for calling protesters occupying the city's autonomous zone "domestic terrorists," and instead labeled them patriots.

"Patriots". "ATTENTION:You are leaving the United States"

Can't make this stuff up.

Hatriots is what they are

It is madness.

Joe Biden should go hold a rally there.

Has the wet weather rotten the brains of those in the NW?

provide true equity for communities of color

Civil Rights activists of the 1960s wanted "equality" of opportunity. And they got it.

Today, the communist rabble-rousers want "equity" otherwise known as wealth redistribution. Otherwise known as "equality of outcome". Which is something that isn't possible without a lot of violence and tyranny.

I think this is what they wanted to do to the White House.

What she says does not matter.

Is there something in the water up there? Seriously, the politicians in Seattle (and Portland) come across as genuinely deranged.

Wonder how many banks were in that area now controlled by Antifa and the armed terrorists. They should be searching anyone who is “voluntarily” leaving. Imagine a lot of cash is being stolen and getting out before the area is secured.

On second thought, if you're an America hating radical interested in destroying the country and overthrowing the Constitution, you would think the rioters are patriotic. The mayor should be commended for her honesty.

The Mayor is brain dead. The list of CHAZ demands may be patriotic towards the old Soviet Union, not America.

‘terrorists’??

Trump was being too kind with that word.

Mayorjenny is a dumbass.

Terrorism is not 'why,' it's 'how.'

She's an attorney and past US Attorney. She understands the difference. Strange mix of political and lawyer gab.

Of course, she can't tell the difference between legal and illegal immigration, or protests and rioting, so...

[hoagy62]

Patriots??? My a$$!!

[AmericanMermaid]

What is Chaz?

[Taxman]

EVERYONE in the world knows that this illegal activity in Seattle will not end well!

There WILL BE BLOOD IN THE STREET before it is over!

[gogeo]

The list of CHAZ demands

I refer to it as the "Seattle People's Autonomous Zone."

[redshawk]

Just heard this on the radio.
At first I thought it was Mark Steyn, nope. ....it’s not.
So speechless. ..... Who in their right mind would live there now? Insanity rules the left coast.

[Yo-Yo]

After seeing this video, I must say I tend to agree with the Mayor on this one.
