Gov. Jay Inslee calls Pres. Trump's 4th of July celebration 'a monument to his insecurity.'
On the eve of the Fourth of July, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Washington Gov. Jay Inslee criticized President Donald Trump's planned celebration for the national holiday, calling it a self-aggrandizing partisan event which misuses public funds.
"It should not be used as a personal aggrandizement. It's something we should feel good about ourselves," Inslee said of the holiday."This whole event is a monument to his insecurity," Inslee said."And I think it's very unfortunate that a nation that prides itself on democracy and unifying messages has to be exposed to his insecurity that he's trying to cover up with tanks, and it just doesn't work.
Inslee also said that his concern is not limited to who shoulders the cost of the event, but that the event itself should not take place given its political nature. "I would start by going back to our historic levels that were at that 100,000 plus. And there's no reason as the refugee crisis internationally increases that the United States commitment should decrease," Inslee said.
"I'm calling for a climate assessment that when we look at large fossil fuel infrastructure projects -- if they're inconsistent with the science -- we simply do not permit them going forward," Inslee said."There's many, many, many, more people working in the clean energy industry than in the coal mines today, and the coal jobs are going away no matter what because coal is now too expensive.
