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:pic.twitter.com/J0lCKVVfgO

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.

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, King County spends more than $1 billion a year on homelessness programs—but have failed to deliver results for decades.

UPDATE: After this video went viral, the director of the agency resigned. A victory for King County taxpayers.

Wow, this might be the most insulting middle finger to taxpayers from leftist politicians in Seattle and King County ever. I rather taxes be spent literally teaching people experiencing homeless sex work as job training than the corrupt government hiring strippers for meetings.

Be a lot easier to take you seriously if you quit throwing "transgendered stripper" in there repeatedly like it's the important bit. The important bit is they hired a *stripper*. Period. Next time how about you dog whistle less and focus on the actual issue?

I distinctly remember thinking when I was homeless how much I needed entertainment
are you kidding me?
It was more along the lines of 'how great would it be to NOT BE HUNGRY, scared, or worried.

Seattle does not need more resources at all!! Change in government is the only way. Conservative leaders who care about doing their jobs RIGHT is what this nation truly needs, not liberal thieves.
