Inslee ban detrimental

Sat., April 2, 2016

Do we not as Americans have the right to free speech and to voice our beliefs and opinions? Why then does Gov. Inslee continue to attempt to cause detriment to those who vote and believe different than him?

Banning state travel to North Carolina because the governor of North Carolina signed a bill passed by the legislature of North Carolina on the use of restrooms by transgender individuals? Would it not be enough for Inslee to just disagree with the bill and state something like, “I would veto a bill like that here in Washington”?

But, no, the left must try to harm and label those of us who disagree with them.
