...You may recall that Hogan was bragging some months ago about how he side-stepped Trump to get his state the tests they needed. The media played this up as a good Republicans doing what needed to be done in the face of Trumps awfulness. Those tests came via a deal with a company in South Korea. According to the above article, Hogan apparently spent that money overseas while an American company was offering him the tests he needed at a lower price.
While the financials are interesting enough, the real reason this is raising eyebrows is because Hogans wife is South Korean. Why did Hogan choose to pay more to a foreign company? Are there family connections involved here? Thats certainly the insinuation the Post is making. Or was it simply to make Trump look bad by claiming he couldnt get them domestically?
Regardless, the main point here is this: Not even a Republican as squishy and acceptable as Hogan can escape scrutiny when push comes to shove. It took less than a week after the media started singing his praises for them to begin accusing him of corruption. This is how Republicans will always be treated. It doesnt matter how much you suck up to them or try to present yourself as being on their side. No Republican is ever liberal enough to satisfy the left...

In their defense, there probably aren't that many states that have much good that can be said about them. South Dakota is one of the few that comes to mind. It's really the only one I can think of right now. Perhaps Alaska or Wyoming should be given consideration.
BTTT
Good post. The statists in the states are problematic. When “laboratories of democracy” become stomping grounds for National Socialists, the fabric of this republic frays. WITNESS events.
MD bump.
He’ll get a pass once he goes back to knocking Trump. I think he’s on the Sunday morning shows tomorrow.
Lockdown Larry Hogan is an absolute slimeball. He secretly ordered 500,000 test kits that did not come with swabs or reagent, rendering them worthless. $9,000,000 worth. Oh, and they also were not FDA approved. He also ordered a few million dollars worth of masks that never got delivered, wasting another $6,000,000
He said today that he swapped out the S. Korean kits that were worthless for other ones that are supposedly OK for only $2-3 more EACH. That’s another $1.500,000 or our money.
Let’s talk about the eight articles of the state constitution that he’s broken his oath on with his stupid and worthless executive orders.
I’m proud to have donated money toward a Federal lawsuit against this buffoon.
