If you’ve read any of Twitchy yesterday or today, you’ve heard about the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” in Seattle, a six-block-radius section of the city that’s been barricaded by extremists and declared separate from the United States. When asked about it Wednesday, though, Washington Gov. Inslee said it was news to him and he hadn’t heard anything from a credible source. As we’ve said, Townhall’s own Julio Rosas is there, and it’s very real.

.@GovInslee is acting like he didn’t know protesters had taken over city hall and declared a “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” but…
It’s national news.
Either @JayInslee lying or he’s completely ignoring our state.#IncompetentInslee #leadrighthttps://t.co/RXXzcFdq6x

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?!

Exactly what he's been doing his whole term as governor pic.twitter.com/mvRqekEEe7

Out of touch @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.

He could be being honest. He’s that incompetent.

This is what happens when young adults don't have a basic Civics or Economics education, they vote for dishonest dirt bags like Inslee because he pays lip service to woke ideology. No discussion on actual policy or governance other than "Oil bad, Electric cars go zoom!"

When there is a leadership vacuum, any psychotic ideology with the will to power can run rampant because chumps like Inslee don't have the spine to take a stand

Well, that answers my question. Stellar job, as usual, Inslee. ?

This man is unfit for office.

Wonder if Inslee has the proper ID to get into that part of the city or will he ignore it?

Lying his face off is what he’s doing. There’s literally no way he doesn’t know what’s going on unless he has been hiding in a bunker with no access to the news this entire time.
— Angi (@anndlark) June 11, 2020
No way he didn't know about it. If he knew about the Ellis murder and talked about it, he knows about this. He just doesn't want to acknowledge it because of the optics.

He doesn't want to know

One of the highest taxed city and state in the country and this is what they get. Taxpayers should be furious.

And what about the businesses who suddenly find themselves in this “autonomous zone”?
Sources tell me there are those in the #CapitalHillAutonomousZone who are “shaking down” businesses by asking them to contribute supplies or resources. When there was the occupation in Portland in 2018, they threatened a food cart that wouldn’t give them electricity access.

P.S. Please send food.
