Own up, Governor
If Governor Inslee wants to continue to play “armchair quarterback,” he should take responsibility for his own actions and inactions.
He is critical of and sues the president, because he does not agree with his policies and decisions. Now he wants the president to lead and be the “Tom Brady” during this crisis and save the country. Inslee said he does not want the president to be the backup for the states; make up your mind, Governor.
Where were you, Governor, and were you listening, when one of your most prominent citizens, Bill Gates, told all of us in 2015 about the threat of pandemics and we should be prepared? As CEO of the state of Washington, why did you not take the necessary steps to protect the citizens of our state when warned in 2015?
Remove the “board from your own eye,” Governor, and take responsibility for your lack of leadership.
