Inslee's office responds to Trump church reopen demand

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Hours after President Donald Trump threatened to override the governors of states that have not yet fully reopened churches or places of religious worship, Gov. Jay Inslee's office pushed back on the sweeping statement by the White House.
“Today, I am identifying houses of worship — churches, synagogues, and mosques — as essential places that provide essential services,” Trump said at a hastily-scheduled White House briefing Friday. “Some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential but have left out churches and other houses of worship. It’s not right.”
But a spokeswoman for Inslee rebuked the president's statement.
"Our office continues to work with spiritual leaders and health experts to identify ways to do this safely," the governor's office said in a written statement to KOMO News Radio. "While we have read the president’s comments, there is no order and we think he understands at this point that he can’t dictate what states can or cannot open."
