Seattle – Today, Mayor Bruce Harrell released the following statement:
"I am appalled by the stories of County Assessor Wilson's conduct and want to add my voice to the community and elected leaders calling on him to resign his position. While he has a right to due legal process, the published allegations are disqualifying for public office. We need to send a clear message to survivors of intimate partner abuse that this type of behavior by people in positions of trust is not tolerated."
This is the same Bruce Harrell that supported Mayor Ed Murray when it came out that Murray had brutally raped and assaulted a male escort? A male escort who was later found dead under mysterious circumstances? Bruce did the "let's hear all sides" dance.... for Murray, but Wilson doesn't deserve the same opportunity? Shame on Harrell. Politics at it's worst!!!
