Washington Gov. Says He Doesn't Know That Antifa Extremists Took Over Part of Seattle
June 11, 2020On Wednesday during a press conference, far-left Washington Democrat Governor Jay Inslee bizarrely claimed that he had “not heard anything about” the far-left Anfita extremists that had taken over part of downtown Seattle which was re-named by them as the "Autonomous zone."
“Governor, I’d like to ask you about what’s going on Seattle, there’s this thing called the capital autonomous zone, what’s your thought about the fact that the protesters have taken that over and are not allowing people to come and go freely?" asked a reporter during the press conference.

“Well that’s news to me,” Inslee claimed. “So, I’ll have to reserve any comment about it. I have not, I have not heard anything about that from any credible source, not that you’re not credible, it’s just like before I espouse an opinion, I should know of which I speak.”

The claim by Inslee is very hard to believe considering the news that Antifa had taken over part of downtown Seattle was national news.
Check out what the Seattle Times reported:
Welcome to the CHAZ, the newly named Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, where most everything was free Tuesday.
…
A new protest society — centered on a handful of blocks in Seattle’s quirky, lefty Capitol Hill — has been born from the movement to push the Seattle Police Department out of its East Precinct building.
On Tuesday, demonstrators hung a banner on the police station: “THIS SPACE IS NOW PROPERTY OF THE SEATTLE PEOPLE.” Teenagers passed a bottle on the exit ramp for police vehicles. A young man carried a long rifle down the sidewalk, despite the mayor’s ban on weapons in Capitol Hill, which has not been clearly enforced.
Filmmaker and Director of Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth & Poverty Christopher F. Rufo reported in the City Journal that the “hard-Left” was the ones to blame for the chaos in Seattle:

For the past week, Black Lives Matter and Antifa-affiliated activists have engaged in a pitched battle with Seattle police officers and National Guard soldiers in the neighborhood, with the heaviest conflict occurring at the intersection of 11th and Pike, where law enforcement had constructed a barricade to defend the Seattle Police East Precinct building. Hoping to break through the barricade, protesters attacked officers with bricks, bottles, rocks, and improvised explosive devices, sending some officers to the hospital. At the same time, activists circulated videos of the conflict and accused the police of brutality, demanding that the city cease using teargas and other anti-riot techniques.
Conservative radio show host Jason Rantz who just so happens to be based in Seattle, unloaded on Inslee for his comments: “Wow. @GovInslee said he had no clue about the #SeattleAutonomousZone. Antifa, anarchists and community activist took an entire 6-block radius of his biggest city, have roaming armed guards doing ID checks, and Inslee has no clue. WHAT ARE YOU DOING, INSLEE?!”
