Jay Inslee has already confronted the orange scumbag publicly right in the White House.

Remember this?



Look at this petulant little fucking child.



From the Seattle Times, February 26, 2018:

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/inslee-confronts-trump-on-arming-teachers-suggests-a-little-less-tweeting-and-a-little-more-listening/

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee engaged in a televised clash Monday with President Donald Trump over the idea of arming some schoolteachers, telling the president to try “less tweeting” and “more listening.”

The face-off, which drew national media attention, took place at a White House meeting in which Trump took questions from governors in town for a National Governors Association meeting.

Recognized by Trump, Inslee stood and promoted Washington’s extreme-risk protection order law as a national model. He then launched into a criticism of Trump’s endorsement of encouraging schoolteachers to carry guns as a response to the recent massacre at a Florida high school.

“I know you have suggested arming our teachers, and I just … ” began Inslee.

Trump stopped him: “No no, no no, not your teachers — arming a small portion that are very gun adept, that truly know how to handle it,” he said, adding that “gun-free zones” are an “invitation for very sick people” to harm kids. Trump said if teachers carry guns “you are not gonna have any problems any more because they’re never going to the school. You’re never gonna have a problem.”

Inslee responded that as a grandfather and governor, “I have listened to the people who would be affected by that. I have listened to the biology teachers and they don’t want to do that at any percentage. I have listened to the first-grade teachers that don’t want to be pistol-packing first-grade teachers. I have listened to law enforcement who have said they don’t want to have to train teachers as law-enforcement agencies, which takes about six months.”

He concluded: “I just suggest we need a little less tweeting here and a little more listening. And let’s just take that off the table and move forward.”

When it comes to issue positions, vision, experience, and proven effectiveness, Inslee deserves a long look from voters. We owe that to ourselves.

He wasn't afraid to confront the orange tool, knowing it would earn him the disdain of certain M$M for being disrespectful. But he said what we in Washington feel in our hearts is a bad idea.

Jay's been a good governor and he's got a lot of good ideas, too.
