1. K and R!

[Karadeniz]

2. Lord, Trump's disgraceful.

[MustLoveBeagles]

3. Good for Governor Hogan

That's going to leave a mark.

[sandensea]

29. Next step for Hogan: SWITCH parties

For most Repugs, he's nothing but a RINO anyway - about the worst thing you can be in their book.

He must know; he's got bagfuls of Chumpkin death threats to show for it.

[Ohiogal]

4. ALL Republican Governors

Should be shouting this from the rooftops!

[dchill]

5. "Stop golfing and concede."

Then stop conceding and go golf. At least until the subpoenas start coming.

[KewlKat]

6. If he stops golfing...he may think of more crap to throw at us...let him continue to play golf, BUT

also CONCEDE.

[Brother Mythos]

7. I love it when Republicans fight among themselves!

And, I'm pretty sure we're going to see a lot more of this. I can't wait!

[Blue Owl]

8. Go fuck yourself Donny you fat piece of shit

[Cha]

9. Rt! "Stop golfing & concede"!!! TY!

[Buckeyeblue]

10. Why is he still a member of the fascist party?

Seriously? That's a choice.

[msongs]

11. hogan should resign in protest, being a republican trump supporter and all nt

[Old Terp]

44. He has never been a Trump supporter.

He's not a Rhino. He's a real Republican from a long line of Maryland Republicans. He's not a Mathias, but he is pretty normal for the species. I don't have any idea of how many are left. It's too bad. I enjoyed having policy discussions with those people.

[Baked Potato]

12. The Trump Taint is weakening, stay strong Patriots!

He must be stopped!

[LakeArenal]

13. So petty. Baby.

[rickyhall]

14. A repug doing the right thing, who'd a thought.

[George II]

15. Hogan was on Jake Tapper's show this morning. Tapper showed him a video of one of the first....

....republicans to break from Richard Nixon. It was Congressman Larry Hogan, his father!

This is one of the reasons why I don't condemn every republican. His father raised him right.

[rickyhall]

16. Then why is he a repug? Just askin'.

[George II]

18. Probably raised as a republican and following family tradition? He's a good man though.

[elleng]

36. His FATHER was an 'important' repug, in days past.

'Lawrence Joseph Hogan (September 30, 1928 – April 20, 2017) was an American politician who served as a Republican U.S. Congressman, representing the 5th congressional district of Maryland from January 3, 1969, to January 3, 1975. In 1974, he was the only Republican Representative to vote to recommend all three House articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon. He was the father of the 62nd Governor of Maryland Larry Hogan.

Hogan did not run for re-election in 1974 and was unsuccessful that year in his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor. He became county executive for Prince George's County, Maryland, in 1978 and served until 1982.'

39. "He's a good man"

He's actually not

[George II]

41. One could probably find a negative article about every single politician in the country going back..

...to 1776, Democratic or republican.

That doesn't make them all bad.

[marylandblue]

19. He's an old fashioned Eisenhower Republican. Almost the last of his species.

Maybe that's hopeless for national politics, but here in Maryland it still works.

[George II]

22. Even though my father (and mother, too) was one of the most liberal people I knew, way ahead....

....of his time, and was an FDR Democrat, until the late 1950s he was a registered republican.

[TwilightZone]

17. Agreed.

The world would be a much better place if they were the majority of the GOP instead of a tiny fraction. Some of Trump's harshest critics have been on the right. Too bad they're not in charge.

[yellowcanine]

20. Hogan is a bit of a cipher though. The tests weren't 100 %

successful and a whole bunch of money was quietly spent for fixes. WP had a story on it this morning. And the Purple Line is a shitshow and might be a bust. Not clear if it is Hogan's s fault but it is on his watch.

[fearnobush]

23. No tests were or are 100% in fact a test with 70% efficacy is considered a good test.

Hogan had to use state police and national guard to protect his stockpile from federal seizure.
Why he still voted for this fuck is unconscionable.

[yellowcanine]

46. I meant some of the tests could not be used at all.

I think Hogan said he wrote in Ronald Reagan.

[AllaN01Bear]

21. "stop golfing and concede ". good on him

[TomDaisy]

24. my only quibble with this tweet - should have added "Asshole." at he end.

[Sherman A1]

25. I would want him to concede and continue golfing

I figure he can do the least harm to the country there.

[GopherGal]

31. You read my mind.

I'm taking the same approach:
Keep golfing, asshole. Minimizes the harm he can do to the country.

[COL Mustard]

26. I Live In Virginia

So Gov. Hogan isn't my governor, but damn...I'd take his leadership in a heartbeat over DJT's. Any day.

[Upthevibe]

27. George II....

Thank you for this post. I know very little about Larry Hogan. At this point, ANY Republican who speaks out heartens me.

[Crunchy Frog]

28. I remember when he was flying in supplies in secret,

and guarding the air field to keep the Trump regime from seizing them.

I don't think there's any love lost there.

[crickets]

45. That was Hogan? Good on him. nt

[qanda]

30. He voted for a dead guy instead of taking a stand

He can miss me with his righteous indignation. Trump and the rest of the Republican Party are the way they are because of people exactly like Hogan. And, yes, I live in Maryland.

[PunkinPi]

49. +1, nt

[angrychair]

32. Screw Larry Hogan

No republican is good. Period. We need to stop advocating for them.
Hogan is a republican and 100% responsible for trump's every action.

Maryland is a blue state with a republican governor. We should only be advocating for his replacement with a Democratic governor.

[melman]

34. Yes

Yes to all of that.

[George II]

40. Not true. Not by a long shot. As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, although he was a very....

....liberal, kind, generous man who called himself an FDR Democrat, until the late 1950s my father was a registered republican.

You couldn't find a better man.

[angrychair]

42. Family is family

I don't doubt you. Nor would I intend to be disrespectful of your family.

That said, I believe this with all my heart and soul, that left to their own devices, Republicans would turn the United States into a place that would make the fictional world of " A Handmaid's Tale" look like Disneyland in comparison.

[warmfeet]

33. I would add an addendum to his statement.

Please write an apology letter to everyone on this planet, then kill yourself. The world deserves a clean break. Is that too harsh? Nah, probably not harsh enough.

[redstatebluegirl]

35. Let the circular firing squad continue!

[ProfessorGAC]

37. For The Hundredth Time!

People need to quit saying, golfing, or playing golf.
Trump doesn't play golf. He only cheats at golf!

[elleng]

48. I remember those hearings, most of what we got was just highlights and some reruns....

...(this was before C-Span) and a few live network airings when it got "juicy". I remember representative Hogan, but I never connected him to the Maryland governor until seeing the video this morning.

[BobTheSubgenius]

43. One upside to being forced to drag him out of the WH by his heels.

The longer this bullshit continues, the more the GOP falls into disarray.

[Initech]

47. Trump keeps quoting fucking Breitbart.

Guess he's done with Fox News now?

[Grins]

50. Started with Breitbart. Eff them. NM

[olegramps]

51. Don't make me laugh, you know my lips are chapped.
