Trump ‘fomenting domestic rebellion,’ Dem governor Inslee says
Fox News ^ | 18 Apr 20 | Dom Calicchio

Posted on 04/18/2020 5:23:20 AM PDT by SkyPilot

A series of Twitter messages posted by President Trump showed the president is “fomenting domestic rebellion,” a Democrat governor alleged Friday.

Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee leveled the charge in a statement that also accused the president of encouraging “illegal and dangerous acts,” Q13 FOX of Seattle reported.

Inslee’s accusations came on the same day that others -- such as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and U.S. Sen. Angus King of Maine -- raised the temperature of their rhetoric against the president and his administration as much of the nation remained under stay-at-home orders resulting from the coronavirus outbreak.

The attacks also came one day after the president unveiled guidelines titled "Opening Up America Again," a series of steps for reopening and reviving the U.S. economy.

Whether the Democrats' attacks were spontaneous or part of the party’s election-year strategy, as it looks to deny Trump a second term, was not immediately clear.

Earlier in the day, the president posted a series of messages saying, “LIBERATE MINNESOTA!,” “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!,” and ‘LIBERATE VIRGINIA,” in a show of support for citizens of those states who have been protesting stay-at-home orders or, in the case of Virginia, recent gun control measures enacted by state Democrats. (Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced some easing of that state's rules Friday, the same day protesters gathered outside his home.)

Inslee derided the president’s tweets as “unhinged rantings.”

“His unhinged rantings and calls for people to ‘liberate’ states could also lead to violence,” Inslee’s statement said, according to Q13 FOX. “We’ve seen it before. The president is fomenting domestic rebellion and spreading lies even while his own administration says the virus is real and is deadly.”

so says Jay “gloBULL warming alarmist” Inslee! Jay, how about criticising this mob:

16 Apr: Daily Caller: More Than 400 News Outlets Partner With A Project Seeking Media To Beef Up Climate Coverage Amid Pandemic
by Chris White
•A project co-founded by the Columbia Journalism Review is asking hundreds of news outlets to focus their reporting on climate change on Earth Day as journalists focus primarily on coronavirus coverage.
•The journalist heading the effort believes the media should be devoting the same level of attention to global warming as they do to a virus that has killed more than 100,000 people worldwide.
•Energy analysts and critics told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the project’s founders are “disconnected” from reality and are focusing on a vague problem while Americans are trying to “stay alive” and keep their jobs.”

Hundreds of media outlets, including Reuters, are partnering with a project seeking to devote a week of coverage to climate change amid a pandemic that has killed more than 140,00 people worldwide.
The founders behind Covering Climate Now are asking their network of more than 400 media outlets to blanket the airwaves with stories about climate change during the week of Earth Day. Reuters, Bloomberg News, and The Daily Beast are among the biggest names listed as partners of the project...
One of the project’s founding groups, the Columbia Journalism Review, represents professional journalists and focuses primarily on journalism ethics...

The project’s co-founder, Mark Hertsgaard, has said news outlets should be devoting the same amount of time to climate change as they do COVID-19...
“Stories on other subjects have all but disappeared, and some newsrooms have halted production on non-coronavirus stories altogether,” Hertsgaard wrote in a March 25 blog post contrasting how the news outlets cover climate change with how they treat a pandemic.
Hertsgaard goes on to lament the gap he sees between coverage of coronavirus and climate change...

Trump began fomenting domestic rebellion by being elected.

The whole point of him running is that the government, at all levels, has been taking power and freedom from the people.

The overreaching actions by the government are the government fighting back against the people.

Trump did this.

Trump did that.

He did that other thing too.

He's just the worst type of guy...

...until you realize what the other guys are like.

There's not a demonicRat out there that can hold a candle to him.

They're just a bunch of backbiting, lying, weasels, who
haven't a clue about governance, but are really great
at tearing others down.

We all know people like that don't we.

I wish the people of Washington could shake themselves away from this turd. I have wonderful friends there that are subjected to this lunatic by the turds that moved up from California. Liberal Californians are like a virus that infected Oregon, Washington, and even Texas with there disease. Perhaps those states could enact distancing from liberal Californians to disinfect their states.

Gov Inslee opened the State up to being a sanctuary and brought Covid19 to everyone’s doorstep by doing so. Now this clown is blaming President Trump for his stupidity. Governor you brought this illness to your constituents, why blame the President? The President tried to stop fools like you but you went the liberal course. Suck it up.

They’re unclear only if you’re f’n blind.

Aren’t Chinese citizens still flying into Washington, state of?

Those Chinese nationals aren’t required to pass an antibody test. Some could be infectious.

Why are Americans locked down, Inslee?

“Defusing” more aptly defines the President’s words.

WTF?! Standing up for and defending my God given rights as established in our constitution is “rebellion”?!

You might want to look in a mirror and ask what you actually believe!
