Sideshow state Attorney General Bob Ferguson and mayoral candidate Jenny Durkan are part of the new confederacy I call “Seattle Spirit.” Our state attorney general is a full-time seeker of fame and I’m sure he’s going to try to be our next governor.

In response to the Bedlam Coffee incident, where the Seattle cafe owner kicked out some Christians, Ferguson basically says he understands where the owner is coming from. He won’t defend the people who were kicked out.

Jenny Durkan, who is running for Seattle mayor, tweeted that advocating for disenfranchised communities doesn’t start just when you get into office. But what about our King County attorney not stepping up to let the voters decide if they want heroin shooting sites in their neighborhoods?

Seattle liberals are literally suing you so that you cannot have a voice in public health issues. And Ferguson won’t defend Christians being thrown out of a coffee shop.

Everything is being flipped around.

Liberals are the ones defending disenfranchisement on so many different levels.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
