Transcript: Jay Inslee on "Face the Nation"
The following is a transcript of an interview with Washington Governor Jay Inslee that aired Sunday, June 28, 2020, on "Face the Nation."
JOHN DICKERSON: Yesterday, Governor Jay Inslee put a hold on reopenings in Washington, citing the state's rising coronavirus cases. He joins us this morning from Bainbridge Island. Good morning, Governor.
GOVERNOR JAY INSLEE: Good morning. Thanks for having me.
JOHN DICKERSON: Tell me, Governor, about the increase in cases. Your state health officials said that in certain counties the situation is comparable to March in what was happening in King County. What's going on?
GOV. INSLEE: Well, we have a fire in many places across the United States, including a few of the counties in my state, where the situation is so dire that people are gasping for breath and having to be transported by ambulance over a mountain range over a hundred miles to be treated. And so I- when I- when I heard the vice president talk about how things are just hunky dory, it's just- it's just- it's just maddening. The situation is critical in many places across the United States and all the happy talk and wishful thinking in the world is not going to wash that away. So we are taking very strong measures to get people to mask up. We know that's the solution from a health standpoint and the way to reopen our economy.
