Watch: Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao press conference 

She says she is "100% transparent" but will take no questions.

Girl Bye!!! From a non-rich Oakland resident. You’ve done NOTHING to better Oakland.

I want to know why…you were ever elected.

You don’t come out this hard and play all these identity cards unless you are guilty. Looking forward to her conviction.

If she was competent, she would resign to save taxpayers money on the recall.

Truth requires no preparation, lies do.

Why take so long .preparing for lies .

She actually has the audacity to be indignant. The FBI doesn’t randomly show up at your door and we all know it. She’s speaking to the public like we’re stupid.

So she’s going for the victimization route. Sad

You are a bad joke Sheng Thao, you know it very well.

Sheng Thao is coaching Narcissism 101 in Pamela’s office after her press conference. That’s why she dipped so quick.

And after this press conference, her lawyer resigns. Not a good look.

If the Feds are at anybody’s door they are not there to help…who wrote this speech?

Mayor Thao: "Am a victim, see Fox News, and Breitbart wrote a story about me".

I hope she keeps that fierce energy when she is found guilty.

She needs to recalled!! All the businesses in Oakland are leaving

whatever the case is here, she would be well advised to keep her mouth shut and lawyer up.

Hopefully the truth will come out faster than the massive potholes in desperate need of repair in the street of Oakland.

FBI just probably delivered her groceries, say hello.

Did she get uhh, boeing'd?

Is she reading a script while auditioning for a film or apologizing?

Where was she so early in the morning if that house was your HOME. You literally learned about it from the news. Sooo your FAMILY didn’t call you?

You are an incompetent mayor - resign and leave

We need a better mayor she does nothing for Oakland this is a filthy place its very bad in down town oakland I can barley step out it’s scary drugged out homeless took over down oakland she need to leave and let somebody who care to do the job we don’t trust her she make oakland look bad sad I hope it’s gets better

If a judge authorized a search warrant for the FBI to seize your property then you are done Mayor. Stop with victim card, and resign

I want to be transparent while taking no questions. Yeah.

And the award for best fake victim tears goes to... The mayor nobody wanted.

Why can't politicians just keep it real? Smdh.

I can't wait to vote her out

I heard that her attorney just quit because of this speech

Why did you allow a "non sanctioned" event at the lake? Incompetence No laws, no rules, no accountability.

Her speech writer needs a new job

Thao will find out what is all about when she gets arrested.

TAKE DA price with You...I signed each of your recalls.....time to GO

Political rhetoric🤢

I gotta get my popcorn lol

I find it troubling that the FBI and the news knew to show up unannounced!

Play Victim 😮

She wants answers to a lot of questions? She's the victim? Playing the 'poor' card? Is this what they call "cheap fake"?

She don't know how to run a city crime is off the hook

Her privilege card expired, the FBI doesn't call and have a conversation about them coming over for a raid. Lol

Maybe now the wrongly fired police chief can get his job back.

Glad I don't live in Oakland. Seeing all of the negative news lately, I feel bad for all of the good & peaceful people living there. Can't be blaming everything on the mayor tho, Oakland already has bad criminals to begin with...

Billionaires told kpix to cut the feed....nice

What progress has she done in the last 18 months 💀

You know the hardest city to be mayor is Oakland city because there are many groups of people living there. It’s very hard to be a better mayor there because the people living in Oakland if you’re different races no one will respect you it’s doesn’t matter how much you do how hard you work for them.

Done nothing wrong .why is it done nothing wrong get prosecuted dont take question nobody got hurt even thier .

The truth shall always stands the test of times. Let the truth be the judge, the jury, peace and prosperity be with Oakland. Blessing.

It’s like she’s reading a book to us.

They cut her off?? Wtf

Incompetent. Corrupt. Dishonest. Dishonorable. Soon to be a criminal and hopefully unemployed. She’s culpable for much of the mishandling that went into running the city of Oakland into the ground. SMH.🤦‍♂️

You went to Viet Nam with David Duong for what? Corruption!!

Why cut the feed?!?

She is blaming the boogy man called right wing but wont take responsibility for her actions smh

She took wrong choice to end her political career. She is incompetent/corrupt and not bright enough to admit mistake and hope for redemption.

Some very powerful people do not want us to hear what she wants to say.

her attorney quit before she finished the presser :D

Honestly the mayor is pretty hot

Advice of her attotney? So yes, she is under investigation

so she basically admitted to the campaign fraud but said "everyone else does it, why are they not being held accountable?"

Resign

she has a face only a jail warden could love

Sheng Thao is the worst public servant in The State of California

What do we, as parents, community and businesses do. We expect government to solve our problems. The problems begin at the core. When there is a government that has never considered the people actually. God designed the structure. Home is the core, church and the government is our outside. The condition of our city is not her fault. It all starts with the heart of the people. We, Oakland, are moving towards a place of no return. Out of chaos, comes order. We're looking apocalyptic and heading for a city shut down. Resulting in someone else or something else to govern the city. I don't know if she's involved or not but if she is, she needs to own it. The jig is up.

Lock her up!

The women with a orange beanie is the real boss .

RESIGN!

To be recalled

Incompetent

Hahahaha she really tried to blame "right wing radicals." News flash lady: I don't think there are any more right wing people in Oakland. And she wants to play the victim? You're the damn mayor of a large city. You're at the top of the hierarchy you like to cry about.

I dont think she was done talking

She's in a whole heap o' trouble.

Agreed so sad.

You should call the office of State Attorney General for help, Sheng Thao 👍👍👍

Those 15 people who got shot? It happened her watch and she has done nothing. Shameful.

She wants to know why a handful of billionaires from San Francisco are hell-bent on getting her out of office… for the sake of this woman I want answers

20:25 the timing is suspicious 😂

Shady shady paranoia lady.

Thao pulled a Biden...Talk some smack then leave without taking questions from the media.

I’m curious what Gavin has to say 😂

She really wants to know how she got caught

Mic Check, the new K-Pop group name, don't forget my cut.

California voters 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Deport or prison NOW!.

Stop coddling bad behavior Oakland

Maybe next time get a nice American mayor

Overheard this at news conference - "Me love you long time. Ten dolla, ten dolla " True story

Oakland was bad 5 years ago.....been at least 3 mayors since i was out there. Its not the same anymore. Theres always been crime so people leaving isn't new but i wouldnt blame all that on her. It might take years to change oakland for the better.

Distracted or not you can’t run Oakland

Her narcissm is off the chain. If there's one thing that I don't want as a leader is someone giving out free tickets to her pity partners

Follow the money- not the lip service.

Enjoy the clink.

Maybe the boyfriend knew and deflected but when the FBI is at your door it is no shock. Don't lie. Oh yeah your attorney is good at it and told you to do as well.

WOW! She's using Dem BOOMERANG tactics against Dems.

At least the FBI didn't raid her house in the early morning hours and assainate her, like the ATF did in Arkansas.

I feel sad for her. She is speaking the truth but no one wants to help her because she is not a white man with political connections.

She is the best mayor in the United States

oh spare me

Why only the African American Sports Entertainment Group. Did anyone else get to make a bid on the stadium?

She right
