No Comment

Socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is dodging all my questions about the devastating homeless drug crisis destroying lives in her city.

She’s also avoiding questions about the controversial encampment sweeps ramping up under her watch.

So I had to confront her at a public event Tuesday afternoon. WATCH.

Woman Remains Homeless

Still no explanation from Wilson about this mold infested tiny house given to a homeless woman by city workers.

She’s now back on the streets with her dogs.

Wilson Follows in Harrell’s Footsteps

When Wilson was running for office, she slammed former Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell for aggressively sweeping drug encampments.

Now that Wilson is in City Hall she’s doing the same thing. I wanted to ask her about the clear hypocrisy. But she ran away.
