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. Youre excluding me. Youre excluding people that look like me. Youre excluding people of color. Youre excluding, you know, Americans that maybe support you."
I see what you did there.
Think on this for a moment: This is a State Governor, wanting to be the President, and THIS would be his first act?
What a maroon.

I am sure the Saudis will love her brand of masculine hatred politics, as well as Kim Jung Il, Putin and Xi.
Rapinoe, you go gurl. Show the world how your vagina is more important than the possibility of nuclear war! ( sarc.)
Just do it.
Yeah...unfortunately, he is my idiot. Disgusting!
He was an asterisk in one recent poll. No number...just an asterisk!
Inslee thinks Ms. Rapinoe’s statement qualifies her to be Sec’y of State.
The one little problem with her statement, though, is that it wasn’t true.
She offered no evidence to back it up, and the idiot interviewer didn’t ask for any.
This is the Governor of Washington?
These people are insane.
I wonder what all the soccer moms think of her yelling the f word in front of their 10 year old daughters. There is never anything written about this. Why?
Women are so easily intimidated into being part of the feminazi hivemind
I have exactly one female friend who thinks like me
Every soccer Mommy friend I have is Orangeman Bad
We simply avoid political discussion
Sexist! Why not this MFer for President!
No danger of that happening...
Honestly, this is more evidence that mental illness is the plague of our time.
Complete idiot. Appointing people because of their identity is stupid!
FN idiot
Dyke jocks are pretty much worthless as humans
More like west coast vote. She lives in Portland.
Because close to half the country is evidently just as insane as they are. Hopefully that number is shrinking because if they win the presidency and both houses again, we’re f-ed.
