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.
So you guys think Stitt isn’t cradling the balls and jerking it behind closed doors? As in he doesn’t feel like it’s smart or time yet to fully divest of the charade?
Yeah, only reason this is happening is because they would’ve run into legal problems trying to say this was a Governors Association dinner when their vice chair and about half their members objected
It is in fact possible to be both Republican and vehemently against the current regime. There are plenty of die-hard Republicans who have vocally hated Trump for the past decade.
That doesn’t mean he has good politics, but you can have bad politics and still hate the out-and-out Nazis.
