Maryland Gov. Hogan says he tries not to ‘poke the bear’ in dealing with Trump

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan insisted Thursday that he has pulled no punches in advocating for states’ interests when dealing with President Donald Trump. But the chairman of the National Governors Association also acknowledged he has been careful not to “poke the bear” in the Oval Office amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Hogan suggested he had opted to pursue a less combative line of communication with the White House than some other state executives, saying that there “certainly are people who are trying to be confrontational, and they just want to be critical” of the president.

Hogan said he spoke with governors to 'collect all of our concerns and issues' and bring them to Trump and Pence. 'Sometimes it was thanking them for the work that they're doing and sometimes it's pushing on things that we believe governors need help on'

Time to grow some and poke the bear. AND vote him out. We are in the middle of a pandemic, did you forget?
