Inslee continues criticism of Trump: It’s ‘ludicrous’ we don’t have national effort against coronavirus


Washington Gov. Jay Inslee continued his criticism of the Trump administration in a national TV appearance Sunday morning, lambasting what he called the federal government’s lack of leadership during the coronavirus crisis.

“This is ludicrous that we do not have a national effort in this,” Inslee said on Meet The Press. “I mean, the surgeon general alluded to Pearl Harbor. Can you imagine if Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, ‘I’ll be right behind you, Connecticut. Good luck building those battleships.'”

Inslee said he’d like to see a national stay-at-home order, rather than the piecemeal ones put in place so far by states.

“Even if Washington gets on top of this fully, if another state doesn’t, it can come back and come across our borders two months from now,” Inslee said.
