In a shocking display of left-wing intolerance, Antifa and transgender activists violently disrupted a peaceful Christian gathering in Seattle’s Cal Anderson Park on Saturday, forcing its early shutdown. The event, part of the “Don’t Mess With Our Kids” rally organized by May Day USA, sought to protect children from radical LGBTQ indoctrination. Yet, instead of upholding free speech, Seattle’s Democrat Mayor Bruce Harrell shamelessly blamed the Christian attendees, accusing them of provoking violence simply for holding conservative beliefs.
Left-Wing Violence Goes Unchecked
Approximately 500 Christians gathered to pray and advocate for traditional family values, only to be met by an equally large mob of Antifa and trans activists. Video footage shows leftist agitators hurling objects, assaulting police, and inciting chaos. Seattle police arrested 23 individuals, most of whom were violent counter-protesters. Yet, rather than condemning the leftist thugs, Mayor Harrell sided with them, issuing a statement that painted the Christian rally as an “extreme right-wing” provocation.
“Seattle is proud of our reputation as a welcoming, inclusive city for LGBTQ+ communities, and we stand with our trans neighbors when they face bigotry and injustice,”Harrell said.“Today’s far-right rally was held here for this very reason – to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city’s values.

This is the same failed leadership we’ve come to expect from liberal cities—blaming the victims while excusing leftist violence. The mayor’s statement didn’t even acknowledge the assaults on police officers, one of whom was hospitalized. Instead, he threatened to review the Christian group’s permit, implying they shouldn’t have been allowed to gather at all.
Liberal Media’s Hypocrisy on Full Display
Predictably, the left-wing media ignored the violence from Antifa, instead framing the event as a clash between “extremists” and marginalized activists. The Seattle Times downplayed the attacks, while local DSA chapters condemned the police for doing their job. This is the same media that remains silent when conservatives are targeted but amplifies every false narrative about “right-wing extremism.”
President Donald Trump, a steadfast defender of free speech and religious liberty, has repeatedly called out this two-tiered justice system. While the left riots, burns cities, and attacks peaceful gatherings, the Biden administration and its media allies look the other way. Trump’s unwavering support for law enforcement and traditional values stands in stark contrast to the weakness of Democrat leaders like Harrell, who bow to radical activists.

The Fight for America’s Future
This incident is yet another example of the left’s war on Christianity and free expression. While the “Don’t Mess With Our Kids” movement advocates for protecting children from harmful ideologies, the left responds with violence and censorship. Under Trump’s leadership, conservatives found a voice. Under Biden and his far-left allies, that voice is increasingly silenced.
