Election: Governor was wrong to bash Trump

This afternoon, we watched excerpts from Gov. Jay Inslee. He pompously stated that Donald Trump was not welcome in Washington state. He went on with the usual left-wing position on every imaginable issue that might offend his followers.

Since when does the governor, who supposedly represents the entire state, have the right to make such an irresponsible statement? We thought we still lived in a democracy, where everyone is entitled to their opinion. As such Mr. Trump is entitled to come to Spokane and Lynden and express his position on what he feels this country needs.

I find it disgusting that when anyone says anything to contradict the far left on anything, they are considered ignorant, or bigots. It might be said the same of the left, who refuse to believe there are opinions but their own. We hope the electorate remembers this stupid behavior by the governor when the elections come up next fall.
