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:

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.

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.

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.
