Governor Kotek Issues Statement in Response to 2024 Election Results

[@antoniaoliver8268]

Okay, I think Oregon needs to do what California and Washington is doing. The Governors are consulting with the AGs to protect the human right of their citizens. What are we doing specifically?

[@wolfganginvasion]

agreed. what the fuck, kotek?

[@marriedtomyanxiety]

I went to Google to find that answer and got this video. She needs to come out now and say she will not allow Trump to infringe on our freedoms. We need to be making alliances with other democratic states. Doing whatever we can to insulate ourselves from what's coming. We can't let Trump take our rights.

[@shehulking]

​@@marriedtomyanxietySame here. I'm not thrilled with this statement. I want to hear that I'm not suddenly losing my healthcare in January. I want to know if they are looking at options. I want to know what we'll do when they come to Portland and start to deport citizens that came here legally. I was also trying to find out anything and Google sent me to this. She's too silent right now.

[@MeetLeAnne]

@@shehulking @marriedtomyanxiety 1000% Gov Kotek gave a nice, measured sentiment : it’s a kind, but ultimately weak response to the tRump administration. If this is how she’s going to respond, tRump and his team will laugh at her kindness and roll over Oregon and our rights. My Healthcare is direly important: I cannot go back to a time when insurance was either denying me coverage, or my premiums were nearly $700/mo, all because I have a pre-existing condition.

[@bbmorshead9552]

@@shehulking I agree and Hope more is to come from Gov Kotek .We need reassurance that we have a battle plan in place if and as needed. I terribly want to know our rights will hold and I am ready to do my part to hold the line !!

[@handyandyradio]

You and the other two west coast governors need to form a pact of solidarity against Trump. We're going to need it. I'm from Washington and our governor elect Bob Ferguson has already vowed to protect our rights. You three really need to work together and collaborate. That would be huge and significant.

[@dilberthogwash1372]

This is why your side lost.......plus your extreme left views. Trump 2024!!!

[@bbmorshead9552]

West Coast Pact will restore the faith, security and Hope we level minded Oregonians voted for. Very Proud Oregonian !!

[@bbmorshead9552]

​@@dilberthogwash1372 Since your snide comment clearly shows koolaid drinking behavior. Hope you enjoy your vote out come. Remember Jonestown

[@bbmorshead9552]

Please Gov Kotek help those of us who believe in Democracy and the protection of personal/individual freedoms which Oregonians will stand for.. Live and let live. I am frankly am very concerned at 72, Ggrandmother and RN. Still I am willing to FIGHT and not fold.The next 4 years of my life can be severely affected while democracy is tested or worse. Thank you for speaking out and continue to do so, PLEASE

[@krisconrad1051]

Yeah, protecting everyones rights and our environmental quality is really a horrible thing lmao.​@@dilberthogwash1372

[@Glitter0521]

Are you intending to call for extra environment and civil protections here in Oregon before the Trump administration takes over like Washington and California? Please share your plans for the coming storm. I think we could all use some hope.

[@serenasapphire8883]

Exactly Please let us know more about specifics, civil liberties and environmental rights

[@CoIoneIPanic]

Fat chance. Kotek has been the worst kind of sellout. A shady money sleaze machine selling influence to Weyerhaeuser etc and then loading up on the taxes against citizens and businesses, all the while playing up the racist divisionist attack on normal state taxpayers. Kotek needs to go..

[@sarahogren3697]

Tina, is Oregon joining in talks with Washington and Oregon to prepare for what is ahead? Did we have a plan 'B' in place like California has been working on?

[@meatpiston9837]

Plan B is continue to slide into a crime infested, socialist, shthole like your crappy states have been since progressives took over.

[@bbmorshead9552]

We need to stand firm against what may becoming. Blue State Proud. West Coast Proud. PS West Coast Blue Coallition ❤

[@JamiDwyer]

apparently tina doesn't have our backs, though. concerning.

[@terryshulmire1102]

Turn Oregon Red, we need to get back to the Oregon we use to be and not this crap show that’s been going on the last few years!!!

[@meatpiston9837]

No kidding. But the social media zombies of western oregon keep downloading The View propaganda into their brains. Meanwhile, the rest of the country gets along like normal human beings that don’t fear “micro aggressions” and other made up BS.

[@carolakelleski7905]

1week in & I've been physically threatened twice by magat men. Hope our state cooperates w CA & WA. The Resistance😊

[@Leskeepingitreal]

We need a re count of the election ballot in the United States.

[@johnmccauley4533]

Right. Trump probably had alot more than we thought originally.

[@meatpiston9837]

You live in a strange sorority based reality.

[@WINTPJKM]

Im disappointed i expected more from our governor.

[@deeriehl7032]

Yet you don't come out and directly state you will protect us from him and any policy against our rights. Washington and California governors at least gave people comfort in knowing they have been preparing. You just say behave and we'll get through it. Thanks.

[@summertimeeee-v6h]

We need to remain a sanctuary state. I do not want families ripped apart.

[@RottenPopReviews]

Governor newsom in California has made a lot of hard line stances and he is challenging the government to challenge him. Here we are with a governor who's just rolling over and throwing out threatening comments about people protesting. It shows that her number one concern is not anyone's welfare but more making sure people don't attack City Hall or other buildings in Portland. She's clearly not a strong leader and a horrible choice for governor. You look at the governor's in Washington and California. Then you look at Tina kotek. There is a clear difference here. I'm not being sexist at all. What I'm saying is she is a weak leader and we need somebody who can be strong and take the fight to Trump

[@summertimeeee-v6h]

@RottenPopReviews I agree with you!

[@cnunesoregon]

I'd like to know what we are going to do if ICE agents start cruising around downtown and throwing people in vans again like they did during our shutdown. Or if seniors start loosing their social security or disability and can't pay rent? Half this state will be living on the street.

[@stefanie-b4y]

That was Homeland Security and it was scary

[@JamiDwyer]

she will support the minivan secret police. were those protesters jaywalking? did gordon sondland feel "threatened"? well, those protesters belong in prison.

[@RottenPopReviews]

Blocking them off. Disrupt their work.

Follow suit with Gavin what are you waiting for?!

[@Rubin5342]

Oregon has a duty in the community of other states and trust territories to respect and implement the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. I would ask you Governor Kotek to instruct the State Attorney General to ensure Oregon respects and abides by their guidance especially those regarding the U.S. Constitution. THANK YOU. //ji

Other states? All five of them?

Hope encouragement and threats to protesters. I can't believe that was the first thing that she wanted to get across.
