Washington Democratic Governor “Hasn’t Even Heard” of Leftist “Autonomous Zone” In Seattle

Washington Governor Jay Inslee claimed that he “hasn’t even heard” of the leftist protostate that rioters have staked out in Seattle’s Capital Hill neighborhood in a Wednesday press conference.

ANTIFA-linked left wing political extremists have walled off a section of Seattle that they’re terming the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. The rebels openly style their commune, which is little more than a few city blocks, as a sovereign territory independent of the United States.

Jay Inslee claimed that he hasn’t even heard of the attempt at secession from his authority. A reporter asked him about his response to the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone, to which he either feigned or expressed genuine ignorance.

“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.”

As it turns out, the governor of a major American state is entirely ignoring an organized attempt at secession occurring within his jurisdiction.

Seattle police continue to treat the rebellious territory with kid gloves, as the city’s ultraprogressive mayor refuses to do anything to deter the serious public safety and sanitary issues the leftist commune represents to the public.

Although the ANTIFA-linked criminals that initially walled off and set up the leftist commune claimed their new territory was an anarchist community with no traditional model of governance, it appears their political fantasy is already rapidly falling apart. Soundcloud Rapper Raz Simone has increasingly taken up what some witnesses are describing as a “warlord” status within the walled left-wing community, chasing, beating and threatening to shoot graffiti artists and other residents of the community for failing to obey his commands.
