Seattle's new socialist mayor pledged to 'stand with Somali health childcare providers' as she took a shot at Donald Trump during her inauguration. 

Katie Wilson, 43, has drawn scrutiny for openly taking money from her parents to fund her life, and for her so-called 'communist' plans to remake the Emerald City.

In her first major speech in office, she acknowledged Trump's criticism of her campaign. 

'I've been noticed by the president of the United States, who called me a "very, very liberal/communist mayor." It's nice to feel seen,' she said to laughs from the crowd.

Wilson has also taken shots at Trump and the Republican Party for going after the ongoing daycare fraud scandal in Minnesota.

On her first day in office, she tweeted out a condemnation of those going after the Somali community.

'I stand with the Somali childcare providers who have experienced targeted harassment, and condemn the surveillance campaign promoted by extremist influencers,' she wrote. 

Notably, one of the speakers at her inauguration was Ifrah Abshir, a Somali migrant who was raised in Seattle and now attends to the University of Minnesota.

Abshir worked with Wilson on a program that allowed low-income students in the city to get free transit cards. 

She appeared to take a not-so subtle shot at Republicans over the scandal, which has seen dozens arrested over alleged fraud of government funds. 

'I realized very quickly that this country uses the same playbook: pick a vulnerable group, describe them as a threat, flood the media with accusations, then use the panic to justify collective punishment,' Abshir said.

'So as a Somali, immigrant, Muslim-American, our community knows this script very well. We had surveillance of our mosque, travel bans, a certain president calling us garbage.' 

Like Wilson, she accused conservatives of 'harassing our neighbors and our children because they believe we are inherently untrustworthy.'
