Washington mayor calls BLM ‘domestic terrorism’ after vandals target her home. These are the people supported by the Democrat Party.
Mayor Cheryl Selby of Olympia, the state’s capital, told The Olympian this week that she was “really trying to process” the news that her home had been vandalized.
“It’s like domestic terrorism. It’s unfair. It hurts when you’re giving so much to your community,” Selby told the outlet.
The mayor of the largely Democratic city argued that she was facing three crises at once, “COVID-19, homelessness, and 400 years of racial injustice.”
According to the paper, a group of protesters went to Selby’s home over the weekend. The group chanted “Abolish the police” and one individual spray-painted her front porch and door with the letters “BLM,” to signify “Black Lives Matter.”
At some point, a man “with a flat, metal paddle-like object” told the group to leave, and threatened them if they did not listen.
Selby told the paper she and her family were not home at the time of the protests, but neighbors began texting her as the group arrived at her home.
The Democratic mayor still has three years left in her term, and isn’t letting this “domestic terrorism” stop her from continuing in her job.
“I’m no quitter. I will continue to try and move this community forward.”
