At tonight’s tree lighting ceremony, Seattle mayor Bruce Harrell got unnecessarily political. Here’s the speech, tree lighting , and fireworks show.

He did not mention Christmas once, and that is appropriate. He is celebrating something very different. Imagine a Christmas celebration where the first thing you herald is abortion. No thanks. Gonna stick with the story of Mary choosing life.

I just can't listen. I celebrate the birth of Jesus. I celebrate the LIFE He gives. I grieve and pray often about our state's disdain for life.

Reproductive rights arent even in danger in this state or from Trump. Even in Republicans could pass an abortion ban in congress and senate and they cant due to filibuster Trump would never sign it into law so?? Trump doest care about gays or lesbians(LGB) but does care about the TQ targeting and grooming children and mentally ill men masquerading as women invading womens only spaces and womens sports. Racism will always exist persecuting white people just for being white or demonizing them for the sins of their ancestors does not stop racism in fact it creates more racism again targeting their kids in public schools. Demonizing white people and this country with CRitical race theory and DEI in public schools is LOVE YA ALL!! confusing kids about their gender and leading to be mutilated and sterilized is lOVE YOU ALL!. Hiding medical records from parents of 13 up so you dont know how drs are grooming and profiting off them medically is LOVE YOU ALL!!

Sickening message to celebrate the Christmas season! For these reasons this is why there is a cultural shift, and the Dems are losing!

Seattle is so fucked with this idiot at the helm

Seattle was great 30 yrs. ago until the democratic ideology helped to make our streets unsafe; tied the hands of law enforcement, and promoted woke practices in our courts challenged and changed common sense laws returning repeated criminals back on the streets

@KatieDaviscourt That’s ridiculous! Pandering to those he should be igbor by, since they are a small minority. Reproductive rights have nothing to with tree lighting, should have been a fun caroling time or something less decisive.

Sounds like he is running for reelection. Too bad it could have been an opportunity to promote peace and goodwill. Instead we get a political agenda

Completely unnecessary and yet I fully expected that.

For heaven's sake. These people just suck the joy out of everything.🤷
