Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican but a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, took a bow for getting coronavirus testing kits from South Korea, but the president shot back the governor should have known who to call for tests in his own state.
"The governor of Maryland could've called Mike Pence and could've saved a lot of money," Trump told the coronavirus task force daily briefing Monday, pointing to a map of Maryland showing all of the testing laboratories. "Look at all those different places, and that's Maryland right there, so could have saved a lot of money, but that's OK.
"No, I don't think he needed to go to South Korea. I think he needed to get a get a little knowledge. That would've been helpful."
Pence expressed frustration with the fact media and governors are not listening to the guidance of the White House coronavirus task force: The testing needed is already there in the states, most not being utilitized, and the full capacity is not being released locally.

Hmmm isn't his wife Korean.
ReplyDeleteHogan is a lost ball in tall grass but better then a Communist
ReplyDeleteThank you POTUS for the Lockdown Larry smackdown!
ReplyDeleteIt's sad Hogan and Trump don't have a better relationship. When I asked a person (who supposedly knows) why Hogan isn't supportive of Trump, I was told he has to please the people on the other side of the bay. I think that's sad!
ReplyDeleteIt is sad and that's why the Eastern shore should change their boundaries.

ReplyDeleteIt is sad that many people don’t realize the political games are all fake. These people work for their financiers (campaign finance). Their remarks against each other are scripted.
We are being played by intelligence
Larry, always ask first.
ReplyDeleteI am sure he did.
DeleteHope Korean gives refunds!
ReplyDeleteTrump is mad someone did something without his assistance. Thank you Hogan for looking out for us Marylanders!
ReplyDeleteC'mon Hogan, stop trying to be a hero. Just work with your gov't.
ReplyDeleteLarry did ask. Received crickets.
ReplyDeleteHe told the Governors to "do - it" . Now why is this preventative action wrong? How will we open back up with out tests?
ReplyDeleteAll of the Governors are asking for tests
Hogan is on a mission to try and discredit President Trump any chance he gets but it always backfires on him. Hogan is always trying to pander to the extreme left in the Peoples Republic of Md
ReplyDeleteIf this is indicative of Gov. Hogan’s overall knowledge of resource availability, every Marylander should be concerned about his judgement in other areas, and decisions and mandates that he is making. Truly he appears to be less intelligent than I thought, and for sure less spineless if he has succumbed to the vast “liberal influence” on the western shore and is allowing it to impact his decisions and rhetoric. Then again he may just not know how to proceed with a wise course and good communication with our National COVID-19 virus team headed up by Vice President Pence.
ReplyDeleteJust like a democrat he wasted tax dolars
DeleteHogan is an idiot and he proved it this morning on FOX. Hogan stated he did not know of Federal Labs in MD and then said he was not aware he could use them. Very contradictory. This also tells us Hogan is out of touch with the business community by not knowing all types of businesses in MD. Hogan proves he is not out of touch with the business community just like he is out of touch with all MD citizens.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Hogan attempting to please the Western Shore / Baltimore / DC corridor when he is the Governor of all of MD. Not only that he is not getting elected again he has his outlandish pension from MD tax payers. Just proves he is a DEMOCRAT.
Would love to know how much that cost us Maryland taxpayers! Will we ever know? Korean connections - hmmm.
ReplyDeleteYou are a fat, fascist asshole and I hope your business fails.
ReplyDeleteYou are a fat, fascist asshole and I hope your business fails.
ReplyDeleteEither Trump is lying or lots of governors are. Since he doesn't remember having a rally in March, or even leaving the White House, perhaps Trump's statements are less than accurate.
ReplyDeleteYour President will do and say anything to discredit
ReplyDeleteanyone who does something he was not able to do.
Your Vice President is a puppet.
If you do your homework and dig into this story you will find that your Governor is ahead of most state governments and your federal government in fighting this virus. THAT IS THE EMBARASSMENT THAT CAUSES YOUR PRESIDENT TO “Act a fool.”
9.59 Thank him for looking out for his rich buddies across the pond! He could give a rats a$$ about anything on the eastern shore except for when he comes to O.C. to feed his face with free seafood.
ReplyDeleteTrump 2020! Can you people imagine this crisis if Hillary Hag was steering the ship?
Oh, I forgot if that b!*$H was elected this would not be happening.
