For his first big line of the night, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee came out swinging against President Trump.
After his fellow Democratic presidential candidates argued back and forth about deportations and decriminalizing border crossings, Inslee brought the focus back to the man currently making policy. "I think we're missing two central statements we need to make," he said. "No. 1, we can no longer allow a white nationalist to be in the White House. No. 2, we have to make America what it's always been: a place of refuge."
