A Guest column in The Needling by District 5 Seattle City Councilmember Cathy Moore
We live in extremely politically divisive times, and that’s why it’s more important than ever to ask for more civility by repeatedly publicly threatening to open a can of whoop-ass on anyone who disagrees with you, doesn’t immediately follow your orders like when you were a court judge, or—God forbid—holds a mirror up to your face.

But you oppose it. And then for some reason that bitch tells the public you oppose it. Burn that shit and her to the ground. Show Tammy and the rest of your constituents who’s boss. Then maybe next time they’ll be more civil by not telling the public the truth about you.
