Here we go again. Far-left activist Iris Bordman just filed a Temporary Protection Order against me. She's one of six protesters arrested and charged for disrupting a Seattle City Council meeting in February.
On Thursday, I was on assignment for @FrontlinesTPUSA and covering her first appearance hearing in Municipal Court. 🧵👇Image
Image
Without providing any concrete evidence, Bordman is now accusing me of "harassment" and claims I am not an accredited journalist. Once again, a King County Commissioner believed her lies and now I have to fight this court later this month. Image
Here's the crazy part. I never approached Bordman in court. Instead, I went straight to her public defender for comment on the situation. After covering hundreds of arraignments in my career, I know the process. Defendants are rarely advised to speak.
In court documents, Bordman claims she is a "Protected Person." Image
Here is Bordman's narrative. Look at the lies these people tell to stifle media coverage. Apparently some people in her camp told the judge that I am not a reporter.
Image
Image
I want to remind Bordman that Seattle Municipal Court is a public place. Recording is allowed with permission which I obtained before the hearing. I am also an active member of the media, have numerous credentials, and currently report or contribute to the following outlets:

Discovery Institute Media
Frontlines TPUSA
Post Millennial
Lynnwood Times
Burien NewsImage
BTW, right after I covered Bordman's situation in court, I went on Primetime with Jesse Waters Thursday evening to talk about my recent coverage of the Garfield Park migrant takeover. I am a frequent guest on cable news outlets like FOX News. So if you want to know my whereabouts, check your TV set. 🙃Image
For the record, all the public information officers with the courts returned my media related requests on Thursday. Tim Robinson, Will Casey, and Gary Ireland have always been true professionals. We maintain a courteous and professional relationship.

Image
Image
Image
Authorities say Bordman along with five others were arrested in February after a migrant protest in Seattle City Council Chambers went haywire.
This is not my first rodeo. Last year, another far-left activist filed a Temporary Protection Order against me. But I prevailed in that case because the Court Commissioner realized what was going on.
Again, not that hard to find Bordman’s public profile.

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.

NEW: Border Czar Tom Homan needs to scrutinize the un-American actions of La Resistencia, a far-left activist group that wants to abolish ICE and shut down the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, WA.
Once again, protesters disrupted my coverage. 🧵👇
Their founder and leader is Maru Mora Villalpando, a green-card holder from Mexico.
A few months ago, she tried to bully me at Boeing Field in Seattle, where illegals are being flown out for deportation. But she doesn't know the First Amendment.
Villalpando needs a damn primer on what it means to be a green-card holder.
