New York isn’t the only major American city that just elected a far-left mayor. Seattle’s new chief executive is a hardcore radical named Katie Wilson, and she’s as wild-eyed as they come.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Wilson arched her eyebrows and issued a dismissive, proud ‘no.’ She wanted viewers to know how affirmatively, performatively uninterested she is in the matter.
