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.

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