Trump in war of words with Seattle mayor as he claims city has been taken over by domestic terrorists
President Trump tweeted late Wednesday that “domestic terrorists” have taken part of Seattle amid protests over George Floyd's death and blamed the city’s “radical left Democrats” for contributing to the unrest.
President Trump tweeted late Wednesday that “domestic terrorists” have taken part of Seattle amid protests over George Floyd's death and blamed the city’s “radical left Democrats” for contributing to the unrest.
"Radical Left Governor @JayInslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before," Trump tweeted. "Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped (sic) IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!"
"Domestic Terrorists have taken over Seattle, run by Radical Left Democrats, of course. LAW & ORDER!" the president added in a follow-up tweet.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, a Democrat, took a swipe back at Trump, tweeting, "Make us all safe. Go back to your bunker. #BlackLivesMatter."
Attorney General William Barr told Fox News that on May 29, the unrest was tense near the White House and "the Secret Service recommended the president go down to the bunker. We can’t have that in our country.”
On Tuesday night, hundreds of protesters stormed Seattle's City Hall, demanding Durkan's resignation, just days after seizing a six-block downtown zone that includes a shuttered police precinct. Demonstrators remained peaceful, without reports of violence or injuries, but activists are pushing Durkan to step down if she refuses to defund the city's police department.
