Great moment here, as Washington State Governor Jay Inslee takes Donald Trump to the woodshed about his insane idea of arming school teachers.
Please note in the background that the petulant “president” crosses his arms and swivels back and forth. As Inslee forcefully addresses him about the issue, Trump appears extremely uncomfortable.
It almost looks like he’s about to throw a tantrum or he’s a bully being confronted.
Inslee directly challenged Trump as he and other governors met at the White House with the president and several senior administration aides.
“I’ve listened to the biology teachers and they don’t want to [be armed] at any percentage,” the former U.S. House member said. “I’ve listened to the first-grade teachers who don’t want to be pistol-packing first-grade teachers. I’ve listened to law enforcement, who have said they don’t want to train teachers [on firearm use]. ... Educators should educate, and they should not be foisted upon this responsibility of packing heat in first-grade classes.”
Inslee ended his remarks by saying, “So I just suggest we need a little less tweeting here, and a little more listening, and I just suggest we take [Trump’s proposal] off the table and move forward.”
