Gov. Larry Hogan now says the relief bill needs to be more 'bipartisan.'
Maryland's Republican Gov. Larry Hogan begged Congress last year to give his state billions in COVID-19 relief funds. Now that congressional Democrats are working to pass a $1.9 trillion relief bill, he is complaining that they aren't being "bipartisan" enough.
Hogan posted a new ad on Monday for No Labels, the "centrist" super PAC he co-chairs. In the one-minute spot, he argues that "Washington needs to pass a COVID-19 relief bill to save lives and livelihoods, but we need both parties at the table offering their best ideas."
"This moment demands humility and bipartisan cooperation not more take-it-or-leave it or partisan obstructions," he tells viewers, asking them to sign a petition to tell both parties to "work together" on a bipartisan relief bill.

Hey Hogan we don't need both parties at the table, everytime we have both parties at the table namely libertarians assholes the public gets the big shaft, for over 6 years we got a 1.5 trillion tax cut that fucks the middle class, did you yell about that, we have had a fucking insurrection and to top it all off, we had a fucker play more golf and bilk this country then and now, and you want me to play nice...............fuck that shit .................its my money........
and besides do you remember say this.........
In November, Hogan, who framed himself as an opponent of "gridlock, extremism, and dysfunction," wrote an opinion piece urging the reelection of right-wing Georgia GOP Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in their Jan. 5 runoffs. He reasoned that keeping the Senate in Republican hands would "uphold America's mandate for moderation and compromise," despite McConnell's long record of blocking bipartisan legislation.

Thank you, that is all.

(31,950 posts)Of a Republican like Hogan or DeWine or Portman or Collins, who is always mentioned as being sensible or bipartisan, you always find the same ugly lump of coal underneath.
Hes my Governor. Hes basically just Donald Trump without the pussy-grabbing

(25,959 posts)And what are we getting from you, Gov. Hogan? The hypocrisy and seeming lack of self awareness is typical.

(10,279 posts)They demand a lesser amount, such as $600 from bipartisans. If Congress does not send a lesser bipartisan relief, the people will vote against DEMs in the next election! That is a threat DEMs can take to the bank.
There - now you know how I feel about it. Send the smaller bipartisan checks!
