SPEECHLESS: @mattteamjesus is a Seattle street preacher regularly targeted by people who oppose his Bible reading at public events. I spent hours following him today at #TacomaPride. He had 3 Bibles trashed, 2 signs stolen, and only 1 person standing up for him. This is America.
ALLOWED TO STAY: Police did not interfere w/ @mattteamjesus and other street preachers at #TacomaPride. A Spanish speaking church was also present. Officers were well aware of 1st Amendment rights to express religious beliefs on public property, even with hostile crowd. #Tacoma
BIBLES DESTROYED: I tracked down two of the three Bibles that I saw getting pulverized today. Imagine if someone did this to the Quran, Islam's holy book? #Christianity #America #Tacoma @700club @CTmagazine @newsmax @realDailyWire @ChristianPost @CBNNews @reachjulieroys
SO MANY DYNAMICS: I started following @mattteamjesus's story because he was getting targeted by Antifa and far left activists in Seattle. They accuse him of hating #LGBTQ folks. Even some Christians question his approach. But LISTEN to what he actually says when confronted.
SATANIC TEMPLE DEFENDS PREACHER…SORT OF: Spoke to member of the @satanic_temple_ Seattle chapter. He says the people walking around #TacomaPride with upside down crosses on their foreheads do not believe in Satan and agrees Bibles should not be shredded, even if people disagree.
MEANWHILE: @mattteamjesus had no issues with Tacoma Police. But getting ready to sue Seattle Police for allegedly violating his 1st Amendment rights when he was arrested for obstruction as he tried to read his Bible in the presence of a hostile crowd.
FINAL LOOK: Tough to see @mattteamjesus targeted by hostile mob at #TacomaPride. But overall, vast majority of #LGBTQ community+allies were respectful and welcoming. Especially Elaine, as she picked up pieces of his shredded Bible. Her gracious actions spoke louder than words.

NEW: WA Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal(@RepJayapal) just introduced a bill that allows homeless people to camp on federal land if they have no other options. This was simply political theater and won't go anywhere. Here's the real problem for Jayapal. 🧵👇
Despite billions of dollars spent over the years, Washington state has the third largest homeless population in America with more than 31K people living on the streets. That's likely an undercount. This is all happening under Jayapal's watch. Image
Part of the problem is her far-left progressive ideology. Here's what she recently told the Seattle Times: “Because I don’t think that homelessness is a failure of the individual,” she said. “I think it’s a failure of the system. I think it’s a failure of our policymaking.” Image

NEW: Saturday evening, independent journalist
@camhigby got ambushed and sucker-punched by an Antifa thug. So far no arrests.
Higby says he suffered a concussion. But it could have been far worse if he wasn't wearing a helmet and carrying pepper spray. 🧵👇
Higby says Antifa acolyte Tyler Hahn is the one who outed him in the crowd and physically pinned him to the ground. But Higby says another man is the one who threw the punches. Image
Image
Higby says this man right here is the primary attacker and threw the punches. Let’s make him famous. @SeattlePD Image

NEW: Hundreds of evangelical Christians will pack Seattle City Hall Tuesday evening (5pm) to demand an apology and resignation from Mayor Bruce Harrell(@MayorofSeattle.)
Over the weekend, he called their concert an "extreme right-wing rally." 🧵👇
Instead of condemning the Antifa violence, the Mayor victim blamed the Christians and accused them of hosting their event at Cal Anderson Park to provoke the LGBTQ community. Here is the original release.
The Mayor lied. I have obtained an email showing the Christians actually wanted to host the concert at a park near Pike Place Market. The city suggested other options like Cal Anderson Park and then gave out the permit.
