Who’s from Pluto Now, Gov?

In May, a Freedom Foundation report exposed Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s Department of Health for inflating the numbers of deaths attributed to COVID-19 by as much as 13 percent.

Washington reporters took note of the Freedom Foundation announcement and questioned Gov. Inslee about it.

Visibly furious, Inslee went on a rant accusing the Freedom Foundation of “fanning these conspiracy claims from the Planet Pluto, and it’s just disgusting what they’re trying to say of all these crazy deep state malarkey.”

Only days later, Inslee’s health department admitted to counting gunshot victims as COVID deaths and announced plans to revise its methodology.

Now, the Freedom Foundation has a brand new radio ad calling on Jay Inslee to apologize.

Don’t hold your breath.

Ashley Varner brings a variety of public affairs experience and a tough skin to the Freedom Foundation team. Prior to joining the Freedom Foundation, Ashley spent many exciting, turbulent and wonderful years as a media spokesperson and state government liaison at the National Rifle Association. Following her tenure at the NRA, Ashley joined the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), where she worked with state and local lawmakers across the country on a diverse set of policy and communications issues. A grassroots activist from a young age, Ashley joined her first of many political campaigns before graduating high school and organized protests across the street from her own professors at the University of Missouri. When not rabble-rousing against Big Government, Ashley enjoys cooking, mafia movies, and has seen most of the 1970s and 80s classic rock bands still on tour. She loves the Chiefs, hopes someday she can love her Mizzou Tigers again, and she was a Kansas City Royals fan and Patriot Act opponent before either was cool.
