Inslee: ‘Trump Is the Force That’s Stopping Us from Moving Forward Against the Climate Crisis’

‘He and his administration are repealing virtually every law we have’

INSLEE: "Donald Trump is the force that's stopping us from moving forward against the climate crisis. He and his administration are repealing virtually every law we have to help us give a clean air in the future. His vice president the other day said the air is actually clean, there's nothing wrong. Well, wake up and smell the carbon dioxide, Mike Pence. We're now having cities being literally drowned like Miami, cities being burned down like Paradise, California, the Midwest with these historic floods. But you have to realize Donald Trump is not just this one security issue. He is a threat causing tensions in Iran. Look, we had a perfectly good agreement with Iran to keep them from coming to power. He tore it up and now we have these tensions. We have tragedy at the border, we saw the dimensions of that yesterday, we're all heartsick about that. And instead of trying to find a solution to this and help the DREAMers and come up with humane policies, he keeps using them as a political cudgel. So I do believe I gave the right answer to that. I was the only one to recognize that. And I'll keep talking in those terms."
