Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) on Sunday slammed New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for saying not enough is being done to combat the Wuhan coronavirus.
"I understand people out there are concerned about when is it going to look better. Just know that people all over the place are working as hard as they possibly can to fight this hidden enemy," Hogan explained. "And it's going to take all of us, not only local governments, the cities, like the mayor, the state governments, all the governors, the federal government."
According to Hogan, the Wuhan coronavirus impacts each and every person in the country, which is why the response needs to be coordinated on all levels of government.
"We don't know how long or how bad it's gonna be but it's going to continue until we get it stopped," the governor said. "We're just gonna keep fighting it 24-hours a day until we can get it done."
De Blasio completely disagreed with Hogan's assessment.
"It's not true that people everywhere are fighting with all they got because our military is being sidelined and the White House is in denial," de Blasio said. "It's just not true, governor. That's just not true."
"We got military all over our state doing all kinds of great things, like humanitarian missions, helping with hospitals–" Hogan retorted.
"You've got [the] National Guard. You do not have the American military," de Blasio said.
"–building new hospital beds," Hogan explained. "And your governor in New York is doing the same things so maybe you ought to talk to him and see."
De Blasio reiterated his previous point that not everyone is doing what they can to fight the virus.

He even gave a "kudos" for the administration's continual contact with the state.

Cuomo said he can tell when someone is "on it" and when they're not. He praised President Trump and his team for "doing everything that they can" to help states and local governments combat the virus.

Bloomberg should make himself useful and take over for Wilhelm.
De Blasio is an idiot
De Blasio is a real fool in panic mode
Thank God Cuomo is acting like an adult
The mayor is a political Idiot.
Socialists inherently blame others for their problems. Its part of their belief-system.
De Blasio is like that Mayor in Puerto Rico after the hurricane who ripped the response of the Trump Administration...
Later we find out that warehouses full of supplies were never delivered or passed out...
He’s is covering for his own incompetence by blaming someone else...
De Blasio didn’t order COVID-19 supplies until two weeks ago.
That is the difference between governor Hogan, one of the most popular Republican governors in the country in a Dem state who was a successful businessman before elected and lazy DeBlasio a career creature of a political bureaucracy with a proven record of failure under the Dinkins administration who even his own Dem governor cannot stand.
I guess DeBarfio has no idea what the military’s for. It’s certainly not for humanitarian use in the US.
What a stupid sap.
This whole thing is really highlighting the rat traitors.
Yeah these damn Dems think things in the government move at lightening speed they are complete idiots you want ANYTHING from government stockpiles you NEED to order it at the very least 90 days out!! These people are TRULY STUPID!!
DeBlasio needs to go into the time out corner.
Is this because Trump has panicked when he shouldn't or not panicked when he should? I just need to get my talking points straight.
Hard to blame Trump when Gov. Cuomo is on TV every day saying all the things he’s doing. De Blasio is over his head so it’s eazy to blame someone else but hard to blame his governor.
The douchbag knows he fuc##up and his a## is going to get handed to him so he’s doing what all rat bastards politicians do they look to point the finger and blame
Where has $850m gone? Bill de Blasio’s wife can’t account for staggering amount of taxpayer money that the NY Mayor gave her for mental health project
De Blasio is only expressing the feelings of his constituents, who will blame President Trump no matter what the facts are.
President Trump Participates in a Teleconference with Governors on Coronavirus Response
Good on Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan for calling out de Blasio...another Democrat/Progressive/Communist who is using the coronavirus as a weapon against President Trump....like so many liberals using a virus as a weapon against their countrymen/women....remember this in November and vote the Pelosi and Schumer politicians out of office.
