Seattle Mayor calls on council to investigate, possibly expel Sawant

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan issued a letter Tuesday calling on city councilmembers to open an investigation into Kshama Sawant, and possibly expel her from the dais.

Durkan points to what she labels “disorderly or otherwise contemptuous behavior” from Councilmember Sawant. In the letter directly addressed to Council President Lorena Gonzalez, she cites a handful of specific incidents.

That includes:

Allegations that Sawant violated City hiring rules by giving decision-making authority to Socialist Alternative, a complaint dating back to late-2018/early-2019

Charges filed in early February by the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission accusing Sawant of using her position and resources as a city councilmember to promote her “Tax Amazon” campaign

Allowing a crowd protesters inside of City Hall in early June

Allegations she “encouraged attendants” at a June 28 rally to “illegally ‘occupy’ City Property, the East Precinct, at a time the City has been trying to de-escalate the situation and ask individuals to depart because of violence in the area”

Allegations she led a march to Mayor Durkan’s home over the weekend; Durkan’s address is redacted in official documents over threats made against her during her time as a U.S. Attorney

The letter also alleges that Sawant’s followers vandalized Durkan’s home “by spray-painting obscenities,” while asking city council to “fully investigate” Sawant to “determine if action should be taken.”

“Seattle “summer of love” off to a hot start.”

Only a week into Summer with a long ways to go.

Looks like Pres Trump’s law and order stance may be resonating with the suburban Karens. So the Dems need to play catch up, they even let Senile Joe out of his bunker to chime in.

Da marxist mayor got her feelings hurt. Oh, what a crying shame. She sure did not care when other people’s children are getting shot by this bunch of criminals or their business are being looted and destroyed. HYPOCRITE is just not a big enough word for this self center narcissistic bitch.

“Expelling” Sawant will make her a martyr and her idiot voters will put her into the US House, like AOC v2.0

Sawant should be expelled back to India. She’s no American. She’s a fraud that the founders would have blocked from ever coming here.

Poor Mayorjenny. Protesters at her house, graffiti on the walls, and she's ticked off.

Ask those trapped in CHOP/CHAZ/PUTZ/ETC whether they feel any sympathy.

“Love when they start eating each other”

An interesting choice of words given Durban is a lesbian and Sawant is a female.

Maybe their cycles have synched up.

Waiting for the massacres, it ain’t an uprising without massacres, lots of massacres on both sides.

I dunno, I have a feeling they may fall in line as well.

This should make you feel better:

Act 2:

NEW: Councilwoman Sawant says Mayor Durkan’s letter is a “corporate politician desperately looking to distract from her failures of leadership and politically bankrupt administration.” Pledges to fight with “even greater unity and determination.” #Q13FOX

Quit doing the work for your puppet masters. Cut the strings. Kick their azzes. Burn their comfort down.
