WASHINGTON – Democratic governors from across the country say they will boycott a White House dinner and meeting with President Donald Trump after he excluded two of their colleagues from a historically bipartisan annual gathering.

Their move comes after Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis were disinvited from a White House dinner with the National Governors Association, a nonpartisan group made up of all 50 state leaders set to gather in Washington from Feb. 19 to 21. Trump this year is also welcoming only Republicans to a separate White House meeting that has historically included all governors.

4. The Governors' Association canceled the WH meeting

WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Governors Association will no longer hold a formal meeting with President Donald Trump when the group of state leaders meet in Washington later this month after the White House planned to invite only Republicans.

"NGA staff was informed that the White House intends to limit invitations to the annual business meeting, scheduled for February 20, to Republican governors only," Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican who is the chairman of the NGA, said in a Monday letter to fellow governors obtained by The Associated Press. "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."

9. I would laugh at that statement

11. I think Gavin should invite all the Governors to warm, Sunny California.

Share why We Love It Here!
Put down the Pikes and have a cool one and a little something from the Bar-B-Que.
Try not being a bag of dicks for a few hours and try to have a laugh or two.
It really doesn't have to be like this. It really doesn't.
