A new Jay Inslee tweet is so ridiculous on so many levels.

Did Inslee actually have the guts to say this to Pence on the phone, or is he boasting over nothing? It’s hard to say. Remember when the president had a bunch of governors at the White House? When Jay Inslee got the microphone, he said to Trump’s face, “Less tweeting, more listening.” He has pulled stupid little stunts like this before. But then again, we know Jay Inslee has lied many times before, so this could just be another one.

Dori: If Inslee believed in climate change, he wouldn’t have gone to Paris conference

Todd Herman, who has been doing a fantastic job filling in for me these past three weeks and will be returning to AM 770 KTTH on Monday, sent this wonderfully fiery response to the governor.

Here’s another ridiculous example. As of last year, you can now do the following in Washington. I’m 58 and have been living as a male my entire life. But I could today go to the Washington State Department of Records and change my birth certificate to say that on October 2, 1961, I was born a female.

To claim that you are the party of science when you only claim science selectively is the height of hypocrisy.
