West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (D) made it clear he thinks a budget bill state lawmakers sent to his desk is a load of bull crap.
Justice rolled out a copy of the bill with poop on top during a Thursday announcement saying heβd veto the legislation.
The governor, who frequently uses props during announcements, brought out three covered trays during a speech criticizing the $4.1 billion budget bill. He uncovered the first two trays to reveal a βnothing burgerβ and a βmayonnaise sandwich,β references to colorful ways he criticized budget plans earlier this month.
He uncovered the third tray to reveal a stack of papers β presumably the budget bill, which lawmakers passed on Sunday β with what Justice called βbull-you-know-whatβ on top.
βWe donβt have a nothing burger today, and we donβt have a mayonnaise sandwich today,β Justice said. βWe all should take ownership for this, but what we have is nothing more than a bunch of political bull-you-know-what.β
Hereβs a closer look at the you-know-what.
After vetoing the bill, Justice said he hopes lawmakers will βstop the bull crap.β
βI hope and pray that the silliness will stop,β he said.
