PASCO, Wash. (AP) — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee was heckled and had to cut short his speech Tuesday on battling the coronavirus pandemic in Eastern Washington.

Speaking outdoors at Columbia Basin College in Pasco, Inslee was repeatedly interrupted by hecklers as he urged residents to wear masks to prevent the spread of the virus.

“Open it up,'' one heckler shouted in an apparent reference to widespread business closures in the Tri-Cities of Richland, Pasco and Kennewick. The community is still in Stage I of the pandemic, which means most businesses are shut down.

The heckling continued as a masked Inslee spoke. Finally the Democratic governor, who used to represent the Tri-Cities in the U.S. House, had had enough.

“We're going to go inside,'' he said.

Well done, my fellow TriCitizens.

Btw, Gov "What's a Seattle?" Inslee held an invitation only meeting with community and health officials here on the rise in Wuhan cases. Somehow, though, he failed to invite Clint Didier and another conservative Franklin County commissioner to his private little soiree. I am sure that was just an innocent little oversight.
