It’s Friday: Another Lesson in Treachery From Gina Raimondo for Ned Lamont.

It must be Friday. Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo is at it again. The second-term Democrat is allowing gyms to open while Connecticut’s remain closed. The former venture capitalist was pleased to point out Friday that the Ocean State is ahead of Connecticut and Massachusetts in gym reopenings.

Raimondo, according to ABC affiliate WLNE, “said the state’s opening of its gyms and fitness studios, along with restaurants, put it ahead of neighboring states Massachusetts and Connecticut.”

The Providence television station reported Raimondo posed and answered her own question. “Why? Because I trust you, “I trust you to follow the rules and do the right thing.” Raimondo and trust are not two words that often appear in the same sentence without “don’t” included.

On May 18th, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont delayed the opening of barbershops and salons from May 20th to June 1st to placate Raimondo and coordinate the neighboring states’ actions. Last Friday, Raimondo declared Rhode Island restaurants would offer indoor dining beginning June 1st, weeks before Connecticut restaurants, depositing a plateful of eggs on Lamont’s face.

The Greenwich Democrat appears resistant to an iron law of politics: Do not trust Gina Raimondo.
