Jay Inslee, Washington state’s Democratic governor, sharply criticized President Trump on Friday for appearing to endorse those protesting coronavirus stay-at-home orders, accusing him of “fomenting domestic rebellion.”
Inslee issued a statement asserting that Trump both encouraged “illegal and dangerous acts” and put millions in danger of contracting the novel coronavirus by issuing tweets earlier Friday that seemed to back the protests.
"The president is fomenting domestic rebellion and spreading lies even while his own administration says the virus is real and is deadly, and that we have a long way to go before restrictions can be lifted,” Inslee said.
Inslee, with whom Trump has traded barbs in the past, also insisted that Trump’s “irresponsible statements” undermined the work of members of his own coronavirus task force, including Vice President Mike Pence, Dr. Deborah Birx and Adm. Brett Giroir.
"The president’s call to action today threatens to undermine his own goal of recovery by further delaying the ability of states to amend current interventions in a safe, evidence-based way,” Inslee said.
“His words are likely to cause COVID-19 infections to spike in places where social distancing is working — and if infections are increasing in those places, that will further postpone the 14 days of decline that his own guidance says is necessary before modifying any interventions,” he continued.

If nothing else, Democrats sure know how to establish 'a narrative'.
These people can pull a narrative out of their ass.
I like the narrative, I support the narrative and I will join the narrative.
“The president is fomenting domestic rebellion...”
No you little idiot, he is hearkening back to the mentality of our Founding Generation, that did not like tyrannous poltroons.
Feeling guilty Governor?
Somebody needs to be referred to psychiatric observation and flag guns for possible seizure /s
Just stay closed Seattle.
But declaring your state to be a sanctuary for illegal aliens, and refusing to allow enforcement of federal law, is fine, I guess....
Trump was right when he called Inslee a snake..
That Liberty Tree is in the midst of a serious drought . . .
Inslee wants to release 980 inmates (pedophiles, kid abusers, etc) because of COVID (release them into society to infect others) then tells, no, demands people to stay in their houses thereby incarcerating them against their will.
‘I like the narrative, I support the narrative and I will join the narrative.’
you support the narrative that wanting to end draconian lockdowns is ‘fomenting domestic rebellion’...?
I thought the demonicRats bought the rights on Uprisings.
To all the wannabe jr. dictator we got this.
I know it’s not what you wanted.
You wanted to see shared misery and people afraid to leave their house.
Sorry, but we’ll all got back to work and get the economy going again.
Oh, and when you are up for reelection everyone will remember who you are.
they don’t call him Jay Inslime for nothing...
I expect the May 4 stay-at-home to be extended, this doofus is petty...
he’s already had to veto spending bills and Boeing is back, so that may be our saving grace.
He has to open up residential construction soon, since all the illegals are leaving and the developers want their money during the dry summer.
Looking for a cabinet appointment under President Plugs?
Fomenting rebellion? Exactly what democrats and their media handlers been doing for the past 3 years!
You mean as opposed to the Democrat Resistance?
You knew this would happen. Trump triggered him for a reason.
My President spreads the Truth. You commie devils just can’t stand it. Scream baby! Yeah!
