Trump vs. Cuomo is the latest Presidential spat with governors over coronavirus response

CNN  

Washington CNN — At a time when his own administration is pledging to work with state and local officials to fight the spread of coronavirus, President Donald Trump is publicly fighting with some of those same officials he perceives as political enemies. After the two term Democrat from the President’s home state criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for delays in allowing private labs to test for the rapidly spreading virus, Trump shot back. “There are no mixed messages, only political weaponization by people like you and your brother, Fredo!” Trump tweeted, a reference to Cuomo’s brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo. Larry Hogan, a Republican and the chairman of the National Governors Association who joined Pence in person for last week’s videoconference, praised Pence Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” while taking a veiled shot at Trump. And he is doing, I think, a good job of coordinating everybody and communicating with us.” But Hogan, who has been a rare Republican voice to criticize the President in past years, mildly rebuked Trump for his “communication” throughout the outbreak.
