Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D.Idiot) said Saturday his first act as president will be asking World Cup champion and Donald Trump antagonist Megan Rapinoe to be the Secretary of State.
Inslee was speaking at the liberal Netroots Nation conference in Philadelphia when he touted Rapinoe as someone who could unite the United States and other countries around the world.
"President Trump has done a lot of damage to our international reputation through his approach to foreign policy. A Daily Kos user, Mr. Rochester, would like to hear more from you about what you might do differently in your approach to restoring America's reputation," one of the moderators said.
"He has created an image of the United States as a go-it-alone, divisive country rather than one that works with the rest of the world. He has bred a sense of chaos in every single thing he has touched internationally," Inslee said. "He has centered his entire international relations on fear rather than confidence and on hope."
He went on to say one of the first things he would do as president would be choosing a secretary of state who would "ask us to embrace more unity across the world."
"My first act would be to ask Megan Rapinoe to be my secretary of state. I haven't asked her yet, so this could be a surprise to her," Inslee said.
One of the moderators told Inslee his response was "well played," prompting Inslee to say he was being serious about his decision.
"I actually believe this because I think what she has said that has so inspired us so much is such an antithesis of the president's foreign policies," Inslee said. "Generally speaking, we know several things. We are stronger when we are in an alliance than we go it alone. America has led the world and joined others in successful alliances."
He then claimed that Trump would have "ticked off England, Australia, and Canada" during World War II, saying this was the "nature of his tradition."
Rapinoe has been an outspoken critic of Trump and said repeatedly that she will not attend any White House event celebrating the U.S. soccer team's World Cup victory. Earlier this week, she told CNN's Anderson Cooper she doesn't believe anyone on the team is interested in attending a White House event.
When asked what she would tell the president, she said, "I think that I would say that your message is excluding people. You’re excluding me. You’re excluding people that look like me. You’re excluding people of color. You’re excluding, you know, Americans that maybe support you."
That could be suitable punishment for the careerist swamp critters in the State Department.
The Idiocy is real......
Excellent choice. Then she can offend more f***ing countries.
Given that a goodly fraction of State behaves as if they hate America, she’d fit right in...
why not, hillary was in the position
Is there a “Can’t Understand Normal Thinking” party?
State of Washington —Your idiot is missing.
Seriously. I checked twice to see if this was satire.
What a total ass. No wonder Washington is going down the drain. With fools like this at the helm, how could you expect any other outcome?
Ahahahahahahaha.
No wonder Washington is so F'd up.
these people are insane
why do we let them hold any form of political power?
For a DemonRat that would be a better choice than Kerry or Clinton.
Who? You mean that soccer lez? Democrats are just adult children
Dear God, our political class are complete fools
We don’t; they steal it, rather.
No one cared about Megan until she started bashing Trump. Inslee is an idiot.
This is yet another prime example of why Universal Suffrage is a complete failure. Letting all men vote, instead of only select men voting, was the first step on the road to Hell by Democracy. Adding the female vote was another fatal blow to the republic. Finally, letting first generation immigrants vote further beats the dead horse.
