Hogan Says He Was 'Taken Aback' By Trump's Criticism at Task Force Briefing

President Trump singled out Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan more than a few times at Monday's coronavirus task force briefing to suggest he had no clue what was going on in his own state. Hogan recently obtained 500,000 coronavirus test kits from South Korea as part of their Operation Enduring Friendship project that began last month. But Trump said that Gov. Hogan should have taken advantage of some of the labs right there in Maryland.

“I don’t think he needed to go to South Korea," Trump charged. "I think he needed to get a little knowledge - would have been helpful."

Gov. Hogan suggested that there was some miscommunication between the two.

“This is exactly what the president has told us to do," the governor responded. "Just yesterday, he was saying the governors are responsible for this. We’re on the front lines. We should just get it done. Then we did get it done and we get criticized. So I’m not sure how things could be different,” he said.

On "The View," Gov. Hogan added that he was well aware of the labs in his state, but said they are federal labs he "didn't have any access to." He said he was "taken aback" by Trump's tone on Monday, because he thought they had had a productive conversation. To him, it sounded like the president was the one who was "confused."

As you can see these two have been at odds throughout the crisis.
