The National Governors Association (NGA) has canceled its annual White House meeting after President Trump only invited Republican governors to the gathering.

The yearly meeting is traditionally bipartisan and offers a chance for state leaders to convene with one another and the president.

“Because NGA’s mission is to represent all 55 governors, the Association is no longer serving as the facilitator for that event, and it is no longer included in our official program,” Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt ® wrote in a Monday letter announcing plans to forgo the meeting, according to The Associated Press.

Stitt said the Trump administration’s decision to exclude Democratic governors would not divide the association.

      This is fighting? Not holding an event? The bare minimum here is to host it and still invite everyone because that’s the entire point. Throwing the plan in the garbage and walking away isn’t fighting, especially when he’s getting his way pretty much everywhere and can just have his little Republican governors’ meeting whenever he wants otherwise.

      Ya’ll need to redefine “fighting” because that’s the weakest shit I’ve ever seen.

          Unfortunately it’s probable that the White House will just go ahead with the event anyways by having the Republican Governors (or as many as possible) have dinner with the president at the white house

          He’s surrounded by yes men and has dementia. He probably doesn’t even know this meeting was a thing. This is a whole bunch of nothing.
