As tributes have poured in from around the world after the death of Paul Allen, Kshama Sawant’s Facebook post ripping the man stands in stark contrast.

RELATED: New low: Seattle Councilmember Kshama Sawant blasts Paul Allen

And it proves that Seattle has 17,170 horrible people. That’s how many people voted for Sawant in her most recent council election in 2015.

She is your representative. When she speaks, she speaks for you. You knew what she was all about when you elected her. In fact, I bet most of you 17,170 smiled and agreed with her post.

She — and you — are examples of the wild-eyed hateful rage that has gripped much of the left in our region.

I’ll wait patiently for for Inslee and Durkan and all the Democrats who regularly denounce our president’s speech to call out one of their own.

Inslee said Trump isn’t welcome in our state. Mr. Governor, are you going to kick out Sawant?
