May 3, 2017, 10:24 PM

The Democrats in Olympia have absolutely revealed themselves. And it’s impossible to defend them. No rational human being can defend their actions in Olympia.

The Democrats submitted a bloated mess of a spending bill that they knew would never go through so that they could say the evil Republicans shot their spending bill down.

So Dino Rossi took their bill from the House and brought it to the Senate. And then called for a vote it. This is the same bill that in the House the Democrats say they want.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
