In a one-on-one interview this week, Gov. Jay Inslee makes some eye-opening statements

Gov. Jay Inslee had a one-on-one interview this week with Mike McClanahan for TVW’s The Impact to discuss his mandates and use of emergency powers. One of the most interesting things the Governor said was this:
“There is only one person in the state of Washington who has the capability to save those lives right now and it happens to be the Governor of the state of Washington.” (16:12 mark of interview)
Other highlights from the interview:
- Governor says we shouldn’t involve lawmakers in these decisions because we need to act right now (4:32 mark).
- Governor says there aren’t specific metrics available to determine when the state should return to normal governance via the legislature (7:30 mark).
I encourage every Washingtonian to watch The Impact interview with the Governor and determine whether they believe it is time for the legislature to reform the state’s emergency powers to provide some type of legislative oversight and involvement in these governance decisions.

King Inslee needs to go.
You shouldn’t loose your job because you smoke, or are obese, or don’t buckle up. yuo shouldn’t loose your job because you don’t want a vaccine.
Poor example. Maybe smokers and fat people should not be fired, ostracised, nor executed. But their diseases are not of the contagious variety. Do you see a difference?
How about employees that are HIV+?
I am pretty sure the health care workers working for the past 18 months with or without proper PPE, doing everything possible for others loved ones are the ones saving life’s, not the one breaking his own mandate rules during the whole pandemic. Not to mention transferring apple maggots across lines. Insleeze only wants others to suffer and follow rules. He is a joke and needs to be removed from office. I can’t believe Washington has no seat limitations for how long Governors can serve.
This quote is taken out of context and made to seem like he is dissing healthcare workers. However when you listen to the full video you’ll realize he’s speaking about saving lives via his position as governor and making the mandate. It’s a poorly written opinion piece, but it does its job at misleading its readers.
Saving lives by forcing people that were called heroes a mere year ago into unemployment and rendering them unemployable? Many with significant debt incurred for the education they invested years and thousands of dollars on, that is now useless to them? Yeah, that sounds like saving lives to me.
Inslee is abusing emergency powers to shame and disenfranchise his own citizens because they’re not being obedient. Not only should he be removed for office, he should be put on trial.
Governor Jay Inslee unloaded on Trump supporters in a bizarre, angry, and somewhat incomprehensible rant, calling them a “bioreactor facility.” Rantz: In bizarre rant, Gov. Inslee calls Trump voters ‘bioreactor facility’ spreading COVID in Washington (mynorthwest.com)
Inslee easily survived his last election after he’d already implemented lock-downs to curb the pandemic. This suggests that most Washingtonians agree that he must do something.
If you start with the following premises:
Then it’s obvious he’s done what is best. The problem is that some misinformed people reject the fact-based premises.
If you believe that vaccines, masks, and social distancing are the ONLY ways to deal with covid, then I see why you think Inslee is awesome. If you would use some critical thinking skills, do your own research (including studies from outside the US), and listen to some of the hundreds, if not thousands, of doctors, epidemiologists, virologists, etc. who are trying to share their knowledge and research into many other effective treatments you might see it differently.
I don’t think it’s being misinformed I think that they are listening to a man who thinks he’s President of the United States! 🤪 He really needs to be hospitalized to protect himself from further insane acts. If you went around saying that people would just think you are crazy. Crazy is as crazy acts!
The founding fathers had delusional tyrannical ideologues like Inslee in mind when they created checks & balances. Our system of Government was formed in the fires that God has created us equal and that man has a wicked heart and people need to be protected from those in power. Unfortunately, many have walked away from these beliefs or have commingled with humanism which has become their new religion and would rather empower a despot like Inslee than stand against him.
Founding Fathers are relics. Times have changed, bigly.
Only those who wish to be fooled by the so called government of I’m smarter than you are only fooling themselves by trusting these SOCIALIST… Have they really became so lazy to process a thought for themselves ???
This Dimslee is completely drunk with powers that have never been granted to him. His powers need to be checked by the representative government aka legislature. Unfortunately, most of them are also Democrats. The one thing Dimslee doesn’t know is I am responsible for myself and he is not and can’t save me from any threat. He’s delusional.
