Washington governor brags ‘we won the Super Bowl of the COVID pandemic’ after shutting down economy for more than a year

Washington Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee recently boasted that his administration "won the Super Bowl of the COVID pandemic" despite its decision to shutter the state's economy for more than a year and consequently upend the livelihood of tens of thousands of residents.

Inslee made the remarks while facing questions over the extent of his emergency powers in the state. Even as most of the country had lifted the bulk of their coronavirus-related restrictions by earlier this year, Inslee's unchecked authority allowed him to extend strict lockdown restrictions up until last week — more than a year since the pandemic took hold in America and well after vaccines had been made available.

Even now, unvaccinated residents are supposed to wear masks at indoor workplaces and everyone, regardless of vaccination status, is required to wear masks inside places like schools and healthcare facilities.

Yet when asked by KCPQ-TV reporter Brandi Kruse on Sunday whether or not he should reform his emergency powers, Inslee responded, "We have had such tremendous success in our state relative to other states. I don't see a reason for that."

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

The next steo being:  and since we were so successful with COVID, we think government control of other areas of the economy will be equally successful.

Yes.  Baby steps on the path to totalitarianism.
