How much longer can Bill Bryant, Jay Inslee's Republican challenger for governor, pretend he doesn't have to affiliate with the hate-filled, xenophobic positions his party supports?
Take last night, when the Washington State GOP tweeted out a stream of nationalist ejaculate regarding the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union. This included Trump retweets:
Polls are always wrong over there!Scotland, Brexit. Huge victory for freedom. Huge loss for Obama. #Brexit

Brits say We want our country back! Americans will say the same on November 8th! #Brexit

The world is beginning to right itself. Britain first. America will follow. #Brexit

EU banned electric tea kettles. Fait accompli for LEAVE. #Brexit

America is proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder w/a free & ind UK. We stand together as friends, as allies, & as a people w/a shared history.

This is the party at Bill Bryant's back. But Bryant hasn't responded for requests to comment on his party's position (or his own) regarding a political move that is shaking down global markets. Bill Bryant, whose business and political experience has been dedicated to facilitating international trade out of Washington State, has not commented on international politics that will radically alter global trade.
.@BillBryantWA, any comment on your state party platform? https://t.co/sZiju8yoVC

Bryant has also been complaining that Governor Jay Inslee won't debate him before the primary. In order to resolve this dilemma, we've invited Bryant to attend an endorsement interview with Governor Inslee at our offices next Friday, July 1, where he will have plenty of opportunity to debate him.
Bryant, however, has not returned our e-mails or calls.
@BillBryantWA We invited you to debate @JayInslee at our endorsement meeting next Friday. Are you coming?

If you want Bryant to attend our endorsement meeting, please let him know. (He's @BillBryantWA.) We want to hear what he's got to say.
