The tipping point that would cause the President to bring the U.S. military to bear on the situation in Seattle might be what Antifa reportedly has planned: the takeover of more neighborhoods.
Democrats and the media are doing all they can to downplay Antifa’s “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” in Seattle:
- Washington Gov. Jay Inslee described the scene on Thursday as “unpermitted,” but “largely peaceful.”
- Local news channel KOMO-TV, a CNN affiliate, reported that demonstrations remained peaceful on Wednesday, and featured music, dancing, and a movie screening.
- The New York Times, which had a reporter on the ground, described the occupied area as “part street festival, part commune.”
- “Hundreds have gathered to hear speeches, poetry and music,” Mike Baker, a Pacific Northwest correspondent for The Times, reported. “On Tuesday night, dozens of people sat in the middle of an intersection to watch ’13th,’ the Ava DuVernay film about the criminal justice system’s impact on African-Americans. On Wednesday, children made chalk drawings in the middle of the street.”
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. Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stopped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!

Gov. Inslee’s initial reaction was to tell reporters, in between chuckles, that he was not aware of the situation. As expected, Inslee took the side of the anarchists and fired back at Trump.
A man who is totally incapable of governing should stay out of Washington state’s business. “Stoop” tweeting. https://t.co/O6i04qmZ9v

What we will not allow are threats of military violence against Washingtonians coming from the White House.
The U.S. military serves to protect Americans, not the fragility of an insecure president.

I spoke with @MayorJenny and her team about the situation on Capitol Hill. Although unpermitted, and we should remember we are still in a pandemic, the area is largely peaceful. Peaceful protests are fundamentally American, and I am hopeful there will be a peaceful resolution.

Is the newly created ‘utopia’ by Antifa and BLM really peaceful? Not according to Seattle’s police chief. Turn the page for more.
What’s the idiot governor saying now once your state is gone the feds don’t pay to rebuild
The people need to continue organizing, and organize into guerilla armies, and nationwide, firstly, kill and defeat the police and military personnel–the government’s enforcement power.
