#Trump plans to keep #Democrats out of a traditionally bipartisan White House gathering of #governors held as part of the National Governors Association’s annual Washington summit, the organization said.

Moore told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that he was confused by the White House’s decision, saying that, just a few weeks ago, he led a bipartisan group of #governors who met with the president as #Trump signed a memorandum on bringing down energy costs.
Moore also said on CNN that it was “not lost” on him that he is the only #Black governor of a state.
“I find that to be particularly painful, considering the fact that the president is trying to exclude me from an organization that not only my peers have asked me to help to lead, but then also a place where I know I belong in,” Gov. Moore said. “I’m never in a room because of someone’s benevolence nor kindness. I’m not in a room because of a social experiment. I’m in the room because I belong there & the room was incomplete until I got there.”

Eric Maruyama, a spokesperson for Polis, said the decision to exclude the Colorado governor was “disappointing.”
“Gov. Polis has always been willing to work with anyone across the political spectrum who wants to help work on the hardest problems facing Colorado & America, regardless of party or who occupies the White House,” Maruyama said in a statement. -

Moore has condemned Trump’s threat to deploy the #NationalGuard to Baltimore & defund the Maryland’s efforts to replace the fallen Key Bridge. Trump has also repeatedly claimed that Baltimore is “crime ridden” despite the fact that the city is experiencing its lowest homicide rate in 50 years. -

<chuckle> Then I have news for the Manbaby that he probably won't like.

Polis has defended the conviction & refused the White House’s request to transfer Peters to a federal prison. Because of this, in December, Trump in a Truth Social post called Polis a “scumbag” & said he should “rot in Hell.” [so presidential

@Nonilex so only republican governors are all going to meet with an authoritarian republican president, who has undermined the country’s faith in its election processes, on the year where we have midterms…

@Nonilex If Blue State governors won’t pursue soft secession, the
will foist it upon them anyway. -

But I’m guessing they will throw their colleagues under the bus and show up anyway.
Gross.
