The FBI is being instructed to investigate the recent chaos in Seattle where rallying Christians were attacked by leftists, and the city’s mayor then blamed the Christians for being attacked.
A report at the PostMillennial explains Dan Bongino, deputy director, has asked the bureau to begin investigating the fracas on Sunday in which Mayday USA, a Christian organization, obtained a permit and held an event in Cal Anderson Park.
Leftists, including antifa, arrived to counter-protest and “then attacked the Christians.” Twenty-three arrests were made.

Bruce Harrell, the far-left mayor of Seattle, admitted the Christians were attacked, but wildly claimed they were “far-right” and had no business holding an event in the park because of the presence of the city’s LGBT community.
“We have asked our team to fully investigate allegations of targeted violence against religious groups at the Seattle concert. Freedom of religion isn’t a suggestion,” Bongino explained.

A subsequent protest at city hall to express opposition to the mayor’s anti-Christian statements also resulted in multiple arrests.
Harrell’s claim? “Today’s far-right rally was held here for this very reason – to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city’s values in the heart of Seattle’s most prominent LGBTQ+ neighborhood.”
His rant continued, “When the humanity of trans people and those who have been historically marginalized is questioned, we triumph by demonstrating our values through our words and peaceful protest – we lose our voice when this is disrupted by violence, chaos, and confusion.”
Christians on Tuesday who protested Harrell’s anti-faith statements were themselves “protested” by antifa and activists for the transgender beliefs.
The report pointed out that it actually was the city that had recommended the park for the event.
SMOKING GUN:
The @MayorofSeattle caught in yet another lie. He said we intentionally chose Cal Anderson Park for our worship rally to “provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are opposed to Seattle’s values”.

A report from Fox News said the original event was a “Don’t Mess With Our Kids” rally held by Mayday USA.
Leftists converged on the scene and then created violence.
The later protest of the mayor’s comments, which organizations described as religious bigotry, was called “Rattle in Seattle” and focused on criticizing the mayor’s attack on the First Amendment.
“Following the MayDay USA worship event at Cal Anderson Park on Saturday, Mayor Harrell had the audacity to issue a press release blaming Christians for the premediated violence of Antifa which resulted in the hospitalization of Seattle Police Department personnel and the arrest of 23 Antifa agitators,” the organizers said in a statement. “Under Mayor Harrell’s leadership, the city of Seattle has continued its spiral into lawlessness and dysfunction while the First Amendment rights of citizens to peacefully assemble has been disregarded.”
The mayor’s office, in turn, released comments from multiple leftist religious officials supporting his comments.
