WHAT A MESS: Texts reveal Katie Wilson’s staff calling the shots during Bite of Seattle mass shooting response.

Within minutes, Wilson’s staff knew they were potentially dealing with a mass shooting. Yet the communications show Wilson’s senior aides, rather than Wilson herself, repeatedly debating how the mayor and her administration should respond publicly.

At 6:36 pm, one staffer noted, “Mayors have historically shown up to mass shooting scenes when they stabilize FYI. Just wouldn’t want to draw a comparison.”

Another responded, “The stabilization part is the key.”

Hours later, as aides debated whether Wilson should appear at Seattle Center or Harborview Medical Center, one pleaded, “I reaaaaaaally think the mayor should go down there.”

To be fair, when Wilson did finally appear, she hardly covered herself in glory.

INDEED:

Historian John Bulkeley adds: “Many of these men are from the Iranian IRGC or other terrorist groups in the Middle East. There is absolutely no way to check their true identities, and the UK doesn’t seem to care. A few days ago, some men were seen loading weapons into a car outside a mosque in Ireland. If this report was accurate, then the West in general has a bigger problem than just Iran.”

IT’S BEEN A BAD MONTH FOR WOMEN:

HOW DO YOU LAYER ALL THOSE FACT CHECKERS? AND HOW MUCH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING BETWEEN THE LAYERS?  Fiction-Checkers.
