Seattle’s New Democrat Socialist Mayor Bombs Major Address

Democratic Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson’s first State of the City address on Tuesday drew criticism for technical difficulties and policy priorities, The Center Square reported on Wednesday.

Wilson, a self-described socialist, has been widely compared to socialist Democratic New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. She received poor reviews on her address, which began with technical difficulties and touched on city issues, including crime, homelessness and affordability, according to The Center Square. (RELATED: Seattle Mayor Proudly Admits She Is Not Seeking Probe Into Somali Scammers)

After about 40 seconds of no audio, Wilson could be heard speaking.

“Are you ready for this? I don’t think I’ve ever talked for as long as I’m about to talk, so we’ll see how it goes. Okay. Well, thank you so much for joining me today,” the mayor said. “Sorry. Can you please? Technical difficulties. Okay. There. Okay. A little bit less. A little bit. Back. Back the way you came. Back. Back. Okay. Okay. That’s good. Thank you. Okay. Okay!”
