Contributing Editor for City Journal in Seattle, WA Christopher F. Rufo is calling attention to the gross misuse of taxpayer dollars. This misuse is not like any other…it’s unbelievable! Rufo says that Seattle County, Kings County, spends more than one billion dollars (see below) to help the homeless every year. The video below is one of the ways they are spending their money. Fair warning…it’s vulgar.
Christopher F. Rufo describes what happened at the annual conference on solving homelessness:
Last week, Seattle and King County leaders hired transgender stripper Beyoncé Black St. James to perform at their annual conference on solving homelessness.
Here’s how they’re using taxpayer money:

As the video shows, the programming has nothing to do with helping people on the streets—it’s about affirming a radical ideology that puts identity politics above solving real problems.
For years, Seattle has claimed that it “needs more resources” to solve homelessness, but as the video shows, they find it totally appropriate to pay for a transgender stripper to grind on members of the region’s homelessness nonprofits and taxpayer-funded organizations.

Bravo to Christopher F. Rufo for doing what a journalist should do!
It’s not a lack of resources that prevents Seattle from solving homelessness; it’s a lack of leadership. According to the Puget Sound Business Journal (see below), King County spends more than $1 billion a year on homelessness programs—but has failed to deliver results for decades.
