Kshama Sawant , the Marxist Seattle city council member who has been supporting the anarchists in that city and who gave protesters her key to City Hall, so they could occupy the building has a completely insane conspiracy theory. It is her claim that right wing terrorists shot the two people inside the CHOP area of Seattle. She also blames President Trump for the shooting. Sawant is a huge supporter of the anarchists.
Sawant said:
“Our deepest condolences go out to the loved ones of the black protester who was tragically killed this morning by gunfire at the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP). Socialist Alternative and I stand in solidarity with the family and friends of the victim, and with the injured protester now in the hospital, as well as with all community members and fellow activists.”
“Though we await confirmation of the details of the killing, there are indications that this may have been a right-wing attack. If so, this would not be the first such attack on the Capitol Hill Black Lives Matter protest.”
“We need immediate solidarity with the protest at the CHOP, and unity in our movement against reactionary violence. Our movement refuses to be intimidated.”
Aside from Sawant, no other official has accused right-wing saboteurs of the melee that broke out inside CHOP in the early hours of Saturday morning. Details are scarce, of course, because CHOP “residents” formed a mob, preventing law enforcement officials from attending to the victims or investigating the shooting.
Sawant, though, is clear that she wants the real culprit behind Saturday’s shooting — President Donald Trump — investigated and punished for his role in the “attack.”
“It is no accident that right-wing hate and violence has grown dramatically with Donald Trump in the White House. If this killing turns out to be a right-wing attack, President Trump bears direct responsibility, since he has fomented reactionary hatred specifically against the peaceful Capitol Hill occupation, and even threatened to intervene with federal troops,” Sawant wrote.
