Anti-Trump ‘Occupy Inauguration’ event promoted by Seattle councilwoman with city resources
The Washington Times ^ | January 4, 2017 | Douglas Ernst

Seattle’s only Socialist council member is using government resources to promote an anti-Trump event on Inauguration Day.

Kshama Sawant wrote a letter Seattle residents as 2016 came to a close that urged them to resist “right-wing anti-worker bigot” President-elect Donald Trump. A 10-paragraph screed against the billionaire ends with a link to “Resist Trump: Occupy Inauguration — Seattle!” on Facebook. Nearly 9,000 people have seen the event and 3,000 have committed to attend.

“Thank you for making 2016 a year to remember. When we fight, we win!” the Dec. 31 letter reads. “We cannot, as Hillary Clinton suggested, ‘give Trump a chance,’ or as Obama said, believe that ‘Trump’s success is our success.’ It is true that Trump does not have the mandate of the majority of Americans. But his election has emboldened the right wing, and we cannot be complacent. History demands that we immediately begin building mass peaceful resistance to Trump’s anti-worker, misogynist, anti-immigrant, and racist agenda.”

The Daily Caller, which first reported the letter Wednesday, said its content is unequivocally the use of “taxpayer resources to organize anti-Trump protests sponsored by a radical socialist organization that brags about its ties to global Marxists.”(continued)

When all the sanctuary cities get defunded, we’ll have plenty of money to spend on our veterans’ health care.

Is there not a law in Seattle banning people from using city resources for stuff like this?

This stupid hosebag Sawant wanted Boeing employees to take over all manufacturing facilities and start building buses “for the people” instead of war machines like they do now.

Sawant is a socialist sucking up the taxpayers’ money. Meanwhile she has her own big wad of moolah from her ex-hubbie, Microsoft millionaire.
