Politico's Alex Thompson: "Bullock now against coal. Schumer's hopes of a Sen. run fade."

Congressman Greg Gianforte (R-MT) politely, but directly, laid into Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D-WA) during a congressional hearing earlier this week. Meanwhile, the Seattle press mock Inslee (a 2020 Dem presidential contender) for his response.

"So it was okay for Democrats and the liberal media to tell unemployed coal miners to learn to code, but it’s not okay to tell unemployed journalists the same."
