President Donald Trump hit back at Washington Governor Jay Inslee on Friday, calling the far left state leader a “snake” while talking to reporters during his visit to the Centers for Disease Control on Friday.

Earlier in the week Inslee took a swipe at President Trump and his coronavirus response.

I just received a call from @VP Mike Pence, thanking Washington state for our efforts to combat the coronavirus. I told him our work would be more successful if the Trump administration stuck to the science and told the truth. — Jay Inslee (@JayInslee) February 28, 2020

This was after President Trump shut down flights from the Wuhan area to the US and saved countless lives — something NO OTHER political leader would have the guts to do.
