    She should resign for letting Oakland turn into a war zone.
  • @Jo-op6yj
    She said: “we are not going down like that”…no WE are NOT with you, you are on your own

    Her crocodile 🐊 tears won’t save her ☝🏿🧐🇺🇸
  • @Ken-jw4xk
    So the FBI was supposed to notify her before the raid just because she’s the mayor? Is she serious? Notice she blames everyone but herself, classic.
  • @CaWalrusJr
    Girl, the feds does care about your election, you are not the mayor of NYC. FBI can search a home of a president with the right granted by a US judge, Just how big of a deal do you think a mayor is?!
  • "I have done nothing wrong"... well, you have not done anything right either!
  • @Jcholla
    She had no problem when this exact thing happened to Trump. Reap what you sow.

    It’s not Thao’s fault,it’s the people who voted for her’s fault
  • @Andorski
    She's in the pockets of Cal Waste Solutions. Look it up.
  • @jimfesta8981
    This incident has done enough damage to her that come November she will most likely be recalled.
  • @ICU264
    Look at your search warrant…. Read it to the public OUTLOUD
  • She wants that pay check, she could care less about the well being of Oakland.
