OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Jay Inslee has again blasted President Donald Trump’s calls to “liberate” parts of the country from stay-at-home and other orders that are designed to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
Inslee says that Trump is fomenting a potentially deadly “insubordination” among his followers before the pandemic is contained, and is basically encouraging illegal activity, Inslee said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”
"To have an American president to encourage people violate the law, I can't remember any time in my time in America we have seen such a thing. It's dangerous, because it could inspire people to ignore things that could save their lives," he told ABC Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos.
Inslee’s comments came as protesters in various cities around the country are calling for an end to stay-at-home orders that governors of both parties say are essential to curbing the pandemic’s spread.
Such a rally was planned for Sunday afternoon in Olympia.
