Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) said Saturday that if he is elected president, he will ask soccer player Megan Rapinoe to be his secretary of state.
He said at the progressive Netroots Nation conference that one of his first acts as president would be to get a secretary of State who embraces world unity and "love rather than hate" as he rebuked President Trump's foreign policy.
"My first act will be to ask Megan Rapinoe to be my secretary of State," he said. "I haven't asked her yet, so this could be a surprise to her."
"I actually believe this because what I think what she has said that has inspired us so much is such an antithesis of the president's foreign policies," he added.
Rapinoe is a player for the U.S. women's national soccer team, which recently won its second consecutive World Cup. In a Wednesday victory speech, she encouraged listeners to love more and hate less.
"We have to love more, hate less. We got to listen more and talk less," she said.
Inslee is among two dozen people vying for the 2020 presidential nomination. His campaign has yet to see significant traction in the polls.

Sure.
This speaks to why I left Washington State in 2011.
Every year more evidence proves it was the right decision.
They would make a great combo: Frick and Frack, Dumb and Dumber, Idiots-r-Us, etc. /s
He needs the attention because he’s going nowhere.
Once Biden sees this, he will copycat within minutes.
Go all the way, Jay!
Williamson for VP.
Unreal.
And Lassie as SOD and Flipper as VP!!!
What has become of my country?
And this guy wants to be president?! With this kind of judgement?
I noticed that The Seattle Times website makes no mention of this in their featured stories. Perhaps they realize how silly and incompetent it makes Inslee look, and are trying to bury it.
An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
Is this guy freakin’ serious??????????????????
President Trump has caused the cover to fall off all the certifiable loonies that have been elected to office in our country...
Good Lord, people...Pay attention to who you vote for.....
“get a secretary of State who embraces world unity and “love rather than hate”....................................... Eros, Agape,Philos??? Most politicians only have the love of $$$$. I think the soccer player loves herself more, and loves to be a prima donna.
More of the bloated, mindless, thoughtless, shallow, puerile, and inane celebrity emotional culture that is probably not too dissimilar from what Lake Erie pollution was like in 1970.
Don’t let your heart be troubled. It ain’t gonna happen.
A nobody inviting a nobody.
Seems kind of crazy, but on a positive note, seems hard to see how she could do more damage than Clinton or Kerry
Further proof that morons who cannot do anything productive become career politicians.
