Above, Durkan speaks during the"The Next Steps" rally on June 19, 2020.
"The places that they are sending these federal agents are primarily in places where there are significant protests against police violence and for racial equity," Durkan said."And it doesn't take much of a leap to also use those agents to say you're protecting the polls, but have federal agents in and around polling places to fight against fraud when really it's suppression.
What planet did you come from. Obviously you are not qualified to run a city. How could you allow elderly woman to be attacked like that and you don’t need federal help You need to be voted out of office!!!
And these idiots elected Mayor Murkin. Congrats! She is doing just great! Its Trumps fault so you can feel good about that
Hey, traitor Mayor Durkan, STOP BLAMING AND START HANDLING YOUR OWN CITY's mess.
Blows my mind how they describe themselves.
You put your city in peril...for politics..you truly are a demon..
who could possibly have any respect for that idiot's opinion about ANYTHING?
She is seriously faux propaganda for Democrat Party. J no o facts to bolster claims.
Does she realize that voting can be done by mail? How does sending in the feds to do a job the local authorities are supposed to do disenfranchisement voters? Unless you mean it disenfranchises voters from voting for her?
This comes from a women who is destroying her city right In Front of our eyes. What a failed and incompetent loser!
Why doesn't she take her own officers off the streets or do anything to keep them from brutalizing protesters?
FakeNews - again! 'deployment of federal agents to U.S. cities to quell gun violence'? Whether or not we agree on the deployment, I thought we all agreed that it was about rioting, arson, and vandalism. I miss the days when NPR cared about facts. They used to be great.
DefundNPR
How does she categorize her own nightmarish running of Seattle?
Is the Mayor a Democrat? Here 'projecting' again!!! The Democrats would prefer martial law rather than the continued draining of the world's swamp by our President and Mr Barr. Men of honor and valure!!! Mr Barr was HW's man!!! Drain it 46!!! Oh,and of course,'4 more years'!!!
The rioters blew a hole in the wall of a police station, and she's blaming Trump?
Time for a new mayor
Someone tell the good mayor that the COVID response was a true dry run for socialism.
Cough, cough, man the propaganda that the left spews is unbelievable Its starting to choke me!
Disenfranchise voters? Highly doubtful. Most law abiding citizens of this country will not be disenfranchised. Those poor little princes & princesses did a lot of damage in Portland. Their rights to vote should be stripped and categorized as enemies of the state. Who needs em?
I thought you were just crazy, mad, a loony left bigot but now the question has to be posed, is your hatred for the US and rabid desire to destroy it actually driven by evil.The endless lies and twisting of the truth beggar belief. Remember your oath, America first not you.
The citizens of Seattle will see a return to civil order when the fed law enforcement arrest Durkan, retake control of the streets routinely occupied by “protesters”, and implement useful law enforcement
Only the rioters. He doesn’t want or need their votes.
I think GestapoTrump is counting on that.
She's just nuts...
Please stop mispronouncing Antifa. It is anti-fa. Like do-re-me-fa ... Like a long, long way to run.
Well Seattle didn't need any help. The Seattle PD was more than willing and capable of tear gassing, pepper spraying and beating their own constituents.
Further Proof Progressivism IS A Mental Disorder!
pay close attention...
This mayor has lost control and should resign.
Hysteria. Downtown Seattle has become a cesspool and she's inventing enemies rather than acting on the real problems there.
But left-wing thugs rampaging on the streets of Seattle on Election Day wouldn’t disenfranchise voters, right NPR?
If rioters burning federal buildings and mayors encouraging it isn't a good time for martial law, when is?
I hope Seatilites are smarter than this.
Gestapo. Secret Police. Trump wants to be Hitler. Leader for life.
She must be crazy...
She is certifiable and you are too, for giving time to her nonsense.
Spoken like a true democrat. Anything partisan will prove insignificant to independent thinking individuals which this pandemic has created many more of.... why should we respect your opinion.
Once again NPR publishes a propaganda piece for the Democratic party.
He wants to disenfranchise voters. That is the intent. And martial law is in the offing as America sinks into dictatorship.
i can't believe its the usa in which we might have to seriously think about violence at the polls...this is the stuff you hear in 'world news' segments about paper mache democracies somewhere else
What is the continuous attempts at burning down buildings a dry run for?
The woman's a shill, CHAZ was great until they came to her home. Loser.
Durkan and the Seattle police last weekend: We don’t need you, Feds! We can oppress and brutalize the people of Seattle ourselves! She and Chief Carmen Best should be deeply, deeply ashamed of themselves as leaders.
Amplify 👏 insane 👏 voices 👏
She's a wacko
Damn, maybe she shouldn’t have let violent far leftist take over blocks of the city and murder people
What a misandry nuthatch.
That what trump wants disenfranchised voters
She needs to be tried by military tribunal for treason
Perhaps the mayor should make fireworks illegal, allow the police chief to make a plan to direct these protesters away from federal property, and stop politicizing this event in hopes of becoming governor some day.
