'Follow the damn law': Washington leaders have terse words for Trump
Top Washington state officials joined together Thursday to push back on what they consider an unconstitutional siege on federal funding meant for the state and immoral attacks on vulnerable communities.
In his first formal press conference in Olympia as governor, alongside many state agency leaders, Bob Ferguson issued a wide-ranging defense of Washington’s values against an onslaught of controversial actions from the country’s chief executive.
The governor, no stranger to taking on President Donald Trump, reiterated he’d be willing to work with the president. “But you’re making it tough,” he said.
“I’m still committed to that, I really am, but if you overstep your authority, we will stand up to you,” Ferguson added.
