The city of Seattle has officially responded to Media Right News after an inquiry regarding rioters taking over their city hall two nights ago. Meanwhile, Anarchists have set up an ‘autonomous zone’ where Seattle Police are afraid to go inside and stop armed men despite the strict gun laws in Seattle. President Trump has tweeted at the Governor that if he doesn’t do something, President Trump will.
“Radical Left Governor @JayInslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!” See tweet:

We reported on the dire situation in Seattle sparked by the continuing protests around the country based on the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police.
We contacted the Seattle police headquarters and did not get an answer. We contacted Seattle City Hall and spoke with a woman who could neither confirm nor deny reports of city hall being taken over, or what the current status of the building is.
‘Carlisa’ is the woman who picked up the phone when we dialed the official city hall phone number for Seattle Washington. Carlisa tried to tell us as little as possible. She claims she is working remotely and does ‘not know’ whether or not the city hall has been overtaken by rioters. She eventually directed us to a media hotline and we left a voicemail with Melissa Nixon, who has yet to return our call. So as it stands, the official stance on Seattle’s city hall is ‘they don’t know’ and leave a voicemail.
The city’s stance on the rioters having a no go zone around a closed police department is apparently to not answer their phone at police headquarters, as far as we can find out, and we will update if we hear differently. This is one of the biggest cities in the United States and city officials have apparently buried their heads in the sand. Where is the leadership?…
…UPDATE: We receive a phone call from Melissa Nixon who will be sending us a press release that is not yet ready in regards to the city hall situation, and we will do our best to update this story as we receive it. Nixon also told us that anyone wanting an update on the possible Antifa no gun zone can try the Public Affairs number at 206-684-0181 if the Seattle Police are unavailable for comment. Possible updates to come…
The city of Seattle has responded to us with an official letter confirming that “Councilmember Sawant and members of her staff” aided and abetted rioters in taking over city hall. The watered-down statement appears to be put out in an effort to appease the rioters and the rogue councilmember rather than to condemn their actions, despite the attempt to sound neutral in simply confirming what happened. Media Right News received the following exclusive response:
“We received your media question about demonstrations in Seattle City Hall yesterday evening, June 9. We are not conducting interviews at this time but can confirm that these demonstrations took place. Seattle City Hall was closed yesterday evening and entry to the building was granted by Councilmember Sawant and members of her staff.
The City – including the Seattle Fire Department and building security – monitored and worked to keep the demonstrations safe and peaceful. This City is not aware of any damage at this time and is still assessing the building.
The City will continue its efforts to support the right to peaceful protest while also seeking to protect the safety of City employees and the public.
Thank you,
Melissa

City of Seattle”
As we speak, the nation waits on the edge of its seat to see if Seattle or Washington State Governor Jay Inslee (D) take action to break up the mob of anarchists, or if President Trump will send backup in like the military or national guard. The unthinkable possibility that no strong action gets taken is one that leaves an outcome I don’t think most people can even imagine.
