Trump says he told Pence not to call governors who aren't 'appreciative' of his coronavirus help
President Donald Trump said Friday that he instructed Vice President Mike Pence not to reach out to governors who aren't "appreciative" of his administration's efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus in their states.
Trump said that Pence "calls all the governors. And I tell him, I'm a different type of person, and I say, 'Mike, don't call the governor of Washington. you're wasting your time with him." The president mentioned Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, both Democrats who have been critical of the White House's actions to combat the deadly pandemic.
Trump said that his administration has "done a great job for the state of Washington," and has "taken such great care of Michigan."" who is "constantly chirping, and I guess complaining would be a nice way of saying it."
