Hogan: Trump Wasted Months ‘Downplaying the Virus’

Monday on CNN, Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD) said President Donald Trump wasted the early months of the coronavirus pandemic not taking it seriously.

Hogan said, “I’ve been really proud of the governors on both sides of the aisle for really stepping up and taking this pandemic seriously. I talk about that in the book. And I’m not just out trying to criticize the president, but I talk about the early stages of the pandemic when he wasn’t taking it seriously enough.?”

Your not getting the nomination and in a few years we will find out the real reason why you purchased test in a different country in stead of the USA. And after your tested then what ? Keep getting tested every 30 minutes for life ?

Well mister rino Hogan, your not the only one that thinks he didnt get serious enough. Instead he handed it to all the governors, like its supposed to be. Unfortunately some like yourself lied, cheated, stole, killed, abused and downright failed every citizen in those states. He was serious enough, he just underestimated your abilities as governor to actually be professional and respectful...let alone uphold the supreme laws. Your disrespectful to every citizen because you dont think we're smart enough to see through your lies, but we do and its not impressive. In fact...its embarrassing, please just roll away.

All the science justifies President Trump downplaying the virus. its easy to point blame Gov Hogan when your pay check is guaranteed every Friday no matter your job performance. Stop playing politics and look out for the WORKING MAN who pays the state of Marylands bills!

Hogan, aka Hitler, what did you do? NOTHING. Cuomo was your mentor after he caused several deaths in NY and then attempted to blame Trump.

Hogan, aka Hitler, admit you are a Democrat that has been suppressing Marylanders that pay taxes and supports non US citizens for votes and they don't even know nothing about our system except this POS gives us money, Drivers License, all free stuff and voting rights for just being in Maryland.

WTF happened to Hogan over the past 4-5 years? I always gave him credit for undoing the horrific financial actions by O’Malley and no tax increases at all, but I can’t figure out what he is up to lately. As for future President he has no chance.

Hogan wasted over $500 MILLION on fraudulent unemployment claims and however much on the tests that don’t work and are hidden away somewhere. He’s a never Trumper who spends way too much time trying to influence national politics and not nearly enough time doing his actual job as MD governor.

Two most dangerous city’s in the country per captia is Salisbury and Baltimore. Maybe hogan should focus on that. Just curious how many patients were sent to the tents and convention center? ZERO.

And Hogan wasted months with his incomplete kits. How many died due to his negligence?

Hogan has just proven he is a mental case and if his wife is a decent human being she will immediately have him committed to a mental institution He is completely delusional and completely out of touch with reality He needs mental help immediately. The fact that the President banned flights from China back in January proves to any sane and rational person he wasn't "downplaying" anything. Again Hogan is in dire need of an immediate mental evaluation he has lost complete touch with reality and is living in some kind of delusional LaLa Land.

What Hogan is actually saying is that he can't do anything unless Trump tells him what to do.

Once again I find myself agreeing with him. Trump's approval rates are abysmal when it comes to his pandemic response.

12:59 he took action despite Trump's incompetence. So really your statement is based in nothing but conjecture with no proof. Shocker.

So is Larry Hogan admitting he can't do anything on his own?

I guess potato head wants to jump on the Trump bashing train. Forget about the bogus test kits he swindled the people out of. What an ass!

Don't give Yummy a pass she wants to be The First Lady just as much as Boss Hogg wants to be president. They are a embarrassment to Maryland.

Yeah, okay Hogan. A death rate of less than 1%. Guess we better start shutting down every winter for the flu then...

And Lockdown Larry really thinks he is some kind of hero by tanking Maryland's economy with this fake China Virus.

Lockdown Larry's actions during this fake pandemic put him right up there with Owe'Malley as being the worst Governors in Maryland's History.

Does anyone actually like that Liberal Piece of $hit?

Sorry for your loss 1:54, but I seriously doubt your Aunt Patti died from the covid. Everyone that dies now, dies from the coronavirus. It's all about the numbers.

1:54 PM - Sorry to hear of your Aunts death but could you tell us why you have decided to change your vote to Democrats?? The Democrats, Soros and China are the ones who released this virus in our country. NOT TRUMP!! You must be watching to much Main Stream Media Lies!!1

Hogan wasted the same amount of time convincing he's a damn fool. What's the

Um hmmm. Was it President Trump in SF Chinatown trying push people into going there claiming there was no reason for a travel ban to and from China? Was he in NYC marching on Chinese New Year, claiming they travel ban was unnecessary and racist? Nope. The President did take this seriously from early on. It was Hogan’s buddies Bill deBlosio and Nancy Pelosi who did the above mentioned actions. Hogan is a clown, whom reminds you everyday of what he’s not: a smart Republican. He’s a Democrat who scammed his way into the governor’s mansion by pretending to be something he’s not.

Maybe he just didn't want to cause panic.

Larry, unless you have something constructive to say, please refrain from saying anything.

Hogan wasted millions on faulty unapproved test kits from Korea. They sat in a warehouse.
Trump placed a travel ban on China and was called racist, but it worked.
Epidemiology proves the virus that populated the United States came through Europe not directly from China.
I suppose in hindsight you could fault him for not closing down ALL incoming travel. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

I think this is a question worth asking. Has Mare Jake Day or Acting Mare Julia Glanz made a statement on the arrest of this retired firefighter and current volunteer firefighter, Rick Rathel on child pornography charges?

What about Fire Chief John Tull, has he made a statement on the arrest of Rick Rathel yet? It's obvious the Salisbury Fire Department is plagued with criminals and sex offenders and this happened under his watch as a Deputy Chief and now the current Chief. John Tull also worked with Rick Rathel for many years.

"Silence is Violence," right you Democrat supporters of Black Lives Matters violence!! Let's not ignore your favorite slogan of 2020!

In the meantime, Rick Rathel has bonded out and spending time at the Salisbury Fire Department sucking up on the free coffee as if nothing has ever happened.

So we should sanction Europe ? For a virus that came from a lab in China and was allowed to travel throughout the world. We have 8 years left anyway so what does it matter. Think I’ll buy a blm Nikey and kneel all day and pray to Biden.

1:54PM...I am sorry you lost your Aunt to "Covid". So how exactly do you think by voting Democrat that will solve anything? If anything, our country will be worse with a Liberal/Democrat draining us dry. Oh, I forgot the virus will be over by November 4. Poor sleepy Joe will be clueless by that time. Can't believe you would even consider voting for a Democrat....
