Hiding for 4 days and counting is a bad look

[sairahmadkhairzada]

If your hiding then you definitely have something to hide

[Comeon-nojo]

This so-called mayor needs to step down immediately!!!!
She is not here for us Oakland residence. She is here to climb the politic

[daveclark]

A politician with accountability? You funny

[Ezero]

When you've lost support from both the Asian and Black community, it's over. Thao's cooked.

[gerrylee]

Thao definitely has something to hide.

[LostChildOfTime]

Hiding on the tax payer's dime, are we?

[pushslice]

This lady is not some wallflower who is normally shy to speak her mind in front of a camera.

Her not just coming out and defending herself personally /publicly ……..speaks INSANE VOLUMES about what she’s gotten herself into.

[HOLMES-B]

Yep...definitely not a good sign. Isn't there a deputy mayor, or a city council person who takes over in the mayor's absence?

[lizettewanzer]

Is anyone else getting suspicious whether she is still in the country?

[aquamarineblue]

It’s about a lot of money changing hands under the table.

[DwnRace]

Might be planning her escape! Leaving the Country with millions!

[Jr-qols]

Thao is not a leader. The people of Oakland who supported her, voted for her, while mistaken for having done that, deserve more from her. She is insulting them. They also deserve better and need to expedite her recall and investigate her actions in office.

[jewllake]

I'm sure the FBI didn't remove their shoes!

[franaydelott]

If she can't tell anyone why her home was raided, then she should resign as mayor IMMEDIATELY!!!

[paulforder]

She should make a statement instead of hiding from the media.

[ivonneguerinoni]

If she is hiding is because she is guilty, must be accountable

[skygrey]

When you have to deal with black politicians, you better watch your back. Thao fell into their trap.

[sidepass]

Is she actually working for the city of Oakland while in hiding. People need time cards to prove we are getting what we pay for. Maybe a class action lawsuit is in order to test the system.

[bobalmighty]

Oakland voters have only themselves to blame. Thao was anit-Athletics from the start.
Blame Oakland voters.
