It takes a special kind of ghoul to survey a tragedy where children were swept away by floodwaters and see a political opportunity. Former Washington Governor Jay Inslee is, apparently, that kind of ghoul.

As Texas reeled from deadly floods that claimed innocent lives, Inslee couldn’t muster a moment of basic human decency or compassion. Instead of offering condolences or prayers, or literally anything even mildly useful or constructive, he rushed to his keyboard to shamelessly exploit the dead to push his extremist climate agenda.

鈥淚t is hard to make the Texas flood tragedy worse,鈥 Inslee posted on X, 鈥渆xcept to know that on the same day Trump signed a bill cratering solar and wind energy that is vital in the battle against the climate change making these torrential rains more frequent.鈥

Jay Inslee slammed for insensitive post

The post earned the ire of Washingtonians, including lawmakers, who called Inslee out for his insensitive politicizing of the tragedy.

State Rep. Chris Corry (R-Yakima) responded, “Gross use of a tragedy for political means. Please delete.” State Rep. and Washington Republicans chairman Jim Walsh, meanwhile, told him that he “should be ashamed” for posting it.

A user named Jasmine posted, “Parents are missing their children and you couldn鈥檛 be a decent person, could you?”

The account @FugitiveMama chided Inslee: “You stood on the ashes of a fire that burned down houses in Bonney Lake and claimed it was due to climate change while cameras recorded your Antifa goons setting fires all around the valley.”

The post was clearly unnecessary

While families were grieving the unimaginable loss of their children, Jay Inslee鈥檚 first thought was to score a cheap political point against President Donald Trump and push his tired climate change agenda. This is what happens when you belong to an extremist cult, which is precisely what the progressive movement of the Democratic Party has become.

Inslee didn’t see human suffering; he saw the opportunity for a cheap talking point. He didn鈥檛 mourn for the dead; he used them as props for his green energy crusade. It is one of the most despicable things a politician can do. And it’s made worse by the fact that Inslee, when in power, had an abysmal record on climate policies, with greenhouse gas emissions increasing all but in 2020, while Inslee was in office. It took a global pandemic to offer Inslee one win 鈥 which he didn’t even earn.

To Inslee, these weren’t people, and they certainly weren’t children. They were merely leverage.

Inslee’s point was also completely irrelevant

Inslee’s tweet makes the baseless and immediate leap that this specific weather event is the direct fault of a political rival and a single energy bill.

As is often the case with Inslee, he’s not offering a scientific take. It’s merely a desperate, ambulance-chasing tactic from a man so blinded by his own ideology that he has lost all sense of morality. He doesn’t actually care about the families in Texas. He doesn鈥檛 care about the children who died. He cares about one thing and one thing only: his fanatical war on climate change.

This ghoulish statement proves he is willing to stand on the graves of children to preach his sermon. It鈥檚 a disgusting and unforgivable display from a man who continues to prove he has no shame.
