NEW: Watch socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's reaction to far-left activists trying to hijack Governor Bob Ferguson's press conference on Thursday.
She seemed unfazed and then refused to condemn their actions. Why?
Before her time in office, Wilson's Transit Riders Union worked with these whackos or supported their causes.
In return, the militants helped her get into City Hall.
But there are now major cracks forming in this alliance.
For example, Stop The Sweeps Seattle used to heavily back Wilson. But members like Aidan Carroll are against the mayor's aggressive drug encampment removals across the city.
Carroll is the unstable man who jumped in front of Governor Ferguson.
And now Wilson is going against the demands of her comrades who want surveillance cameras dismantled on public property.
Mayor Wilson knows she's on their sh*t list and has to tread carefully with the constituency that helped her get elected.
Otherwise the next press conference could turn into a chaotic direct action against her policies.
I think it's fair to say we are witnessing the early stages of the left eating their own.
