I think it was disingenuous. He used the term "we" as if his decision to issue the related executive order was a collective decision of some sort. He also stated that it could have been handled better. First of all, he issued the executive order, not anyone else. As far as handling it goes, it's like "duh!", how about asking the Legislature to pass a law to accomplish the same thing. He's a crook. The "we" he referred to is he and Merck.
