President Donald Trump lashed out at Oklahoma Gov. J. Kevin Stitt (R), chair of the National Governors Association, after he said that the bipartisan organization would not participate in a White House event that excluded some Democrats.
“The RINO Governor of the Great State of Oklahoma, in which I won all 77 Counties, three times (The only person to do so!), incorrectly stated my position on the very exclusive Governors Annual Dinner and Meeting at the White House,” Trump wrote Wednesday on Truth Social. “The invitations were sent to ALL Governors, other than two, who I feel are not worthy of being there.”
According to Trump, the Democratic governors of Colorado and Maryland had not been invited because he had disagreements with them.
“I did not invite the Governor of Colorado, who has unfairly incarcerated in solitary confinement a 73-year-old cancer stricken woman (A nine year term!), for attempting to fight Democrat Voter Fraud, plus the foul mouthed Governor of Maryland, who fraudulently stated that he received Military medals, A LIE, is doing a terrible job on the rebuilding of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, and has allowed Baltimore to continue to be a Crime Disaster,” the president said.
“I even invited the SLOB of a Governor, JB Pritzker, and horrendous California Governor, Gavin Newscum, to the Dinner, despite the terrible job that they are doing. So, as usual with him, Stitt got it WRONG!” he added. “I look forward to seeing the Republican Governors, and some of the Democrats Governors who were worthy of being invited, but most of whom won’t show up.”
Stitt, however, argued that “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.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump’s decision to exclude some governors.
“It’s the people’s house,” she noted. “It’s also the president’s home, so he can invite whomever he wants to dinners and events here at the White House.”
