President Joe Biden neglected to mention the rampant homelessness plaguing Seattle while speaking about Earth Day while visiting the liberal city Friday.
“Every time I get a little down … I just turn on the television or take a look at all the young people,” Biden said at Seward Park, according to ABC News. “They are really, really energized–whether it’s basic human rights or it’s the environment.” Seattle’s homeless problem has worsened, spawning homeless camps littered with human waste, drugs and crime, according to the Washington Policy Center.
“Seattle has one of the worst homeless problems of any major city in the United States,” The Washington Policy Center wrote. “Walk down virtually any street in the downtown core or in many neighborhood business districts, or stop at most parks in the metropolitan area and you will find people living in unconventional situations surrounded by trash, human waste, and needles.”
Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers slammed Biden’s inability to address surging homelessness and drug issues in a letter obtained by The Center Square Thursday, asking the president to see how failed policies have ruined the city.
“If you do, you will see how homelessness has taken over with tent cities popping up everywhere, serving as ground zero for rampant drug abuse and violent crime; devastating community safety and the ability of small businesses to remain open,” McMorris wrote in The Center Square.
“Since you took office, violent crime has spiked across the country, including by 20% in Seattle and 10% in Spokane,” McMorris wrote. “Just last month, two Washington State law enforcement officers were shot and killed in the line of duty.”
Surging homeless camps throughout the city have caused parents and children to avoid parks where they once enjoyed various outdoor activities, Fox 13 Seattle reported. The parks are now littered with homeless tents bringing violence and drug use.
President Joe Biden is in Seattle to address our prolific crime and homelessness crisis.
Just kidding.
He’s here raising money and making untenable claims about the environment.
But it did force Seattle leaders to clear up some embarrassing encampments near his hotel at least.

Meanwhile, city sidewalks have been fully converted to homeless camps with tents as the city looks for alternative places to house the homeless, KOMO News reported.
Seattle’s transit system has recently become unusable after multiple reports of toxic fentanyl and meth smoke, along with dangerous environmental conditions and volatile behavior, The Seattle Times reported.
“Now it’s getting worse again,” resident Eric Baker told KOMO News in February about maneuvering around the tents.
“You walk around and shake your head,” Seattle resident Scott Bader said regarding the overrun streets. “It’s just an unfortunate situation the city needs to get on.”

“Trash, human waste and needles” Yup, the Biden family.
Seattle, You never learn, you voted these turd into office and they told you that the encampment was just a Summer of Love, or just another Street Fest. The real problem is that you keep voting these people into office year after year, and then you are surprised that they lied to you and don’t deliver on the promises that they made. I do believe that this is the definition of Stupidity. “You keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results.”
Brought to you by 81 million voters who were suckered by the lamestream media and big tech. The problem isn’t Joey’s fault, he ran on three things and is doing everything he can to ensure that he fulfills his campaign promises.
1. Destroy our fossil fuels industry. Replace it with green energy that has NEVER worked 24/7/365.
2. Open the border. In four years he wants to let in 10 million illegals and then his fellow Democrats will give them voting rights. States that are already sanctuary states will have a one party system, it won’t be Republican.
3. Destroy the country. Remember during his campaign he got on TV and gave a speech stating basically, “America NEVER lived up to its promises”. That right there tells you he hates the US and is working to change it into a communist utopia! If you’re old like me, you remember communist USSR, what a wonderful utopian state that was. Well not for the 100 million or so who were killed by another Joey, Stalin!
Let’s go Brandon, you still have some work to do. Heck, you and the January 6th committee still don’t have Trump in jail. Durham will have Hillary behind bars before you get Trump. Let’s get on the ball.
The homelessness, drugs, crime, etc which the Biden ilk ignore is done so because it doesn’t fit their accepted blindly “woke” agenda and narrative in their snowflake utopian imagination.
The government has money to give all the FREE STUFF to illegals and even put them up in over $300 per night hotels, but they don’t spend a penny on getting homeless people, especially veterans, OFF the streets. Shameful.
‘Trash, human waste and needles’ is a perfect description of the Biden family and regime. Time to take the garbage out.
The decline of civilization…
The Scamdemocrats are Satanic. Absolutely everything that they touch, turns to s***. They govern all the dysfunctional, decaying, dangerous, corrupt, big city ghettos, their residents forever mired in a perpetual life of misery, despair & fear. The leftists campaign on division politics, fear, rage & revolution. They’re politically invested in keeping the minority votes, by offing the public the free government cheese.
