The Seattle Times contradicted its own reporting when attacking Donald Trump, leading to an astounding community note regarding 2020 protests in the Washington city.
The liberal publication shared an article [1] on X relating to Trump’s comments about the protests in the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter riots. During the presidential debate [2] on Tuesday, Trump was asked if he had any regrets over the events of January 6, 2021.
He correctly replied in the negative, adding; “When are the people that burned down Minneapolis going to be prosecuted or in Seattle? They went into Seattle, they took over a big percentage of the city of Seattle. When are those people going to be prosecuted?”
The Times attempted to claim Trump’s comments relating to the size of the Seattle’s Capitol Hill Organized Protest area were false, claiming Trump was false to suggest that protesters took over part of Seattle in 2020.
