“I can’t believe someone would advocate recalling Gretchen Whitmer or Gavin Newsom!” said no conservative ever.
A few others who qualify for dishonorable mention include:
- Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, who wouldn’t let 10 people flock together for church while at the same time allowing the entire General Assembly to gather to go over budget issues. The Justice Department intervened on the side of a church suing the state, saying “there is no pandemic exception to the Constitution and its Bill of Rights.”
- Democratic Gov. Kate Brown of Oregon — a state virtually untouched by the outbreak — who late last week extended her stay-at-home order until July 6, beating Gov. Northam, who up until then had the distinction of imposing the longest lockdown in the country.
- Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, whose administration set up a “snitch portal” to field complaints about businesses during the lockdown.
- Andrew Cuomo, New York’s Democratic governor, who, says PJMedia, “had the worst response to the crisis of any governor in America.” He’s been “panicky, sometimes hysterical.”
