Jay Inslee's Mockery Of His Own Failed 2020 Campaign Is Beyond Be-leaf
Jay Inslee appears to be tackling his exit from the 2020 Democratic presidential race with tree-mendous humor.
The Washington governor dropped his bid for the Democratic nomination on Wednesday, and the following day shared an article from satirical news site The Onion that poked fun at the news.
The spoof story imagines Inslee, whose campaign centered on confronting the climate crisis, announcing his withdrawal to supporters and then “ethereally transforming into a majestic oak.”
“I think you’ll like my new stump speech,” Inslee joked about the article on Twitter.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it will leaf you at a higher place. 🌲🌳

I'm glad you are branching out, and that after another year, you've put a ring on it.
