Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan told the Washington Post’s Robert Costa on Thursday that he has had to hide COVID-19 testing kits to make sure President Donald Trump doesn’t commandeer them.

During an interview with Costa, Hogan explained how he worked to smuggle testing kits in from South Korea in a complicated process that took over three weeks to pull off.

He said it was important to make sure that the plane containing the tests landed at Baltimore/Washington International Airport and not Dulles International Airport to lessen the change that the cargo could get taken by the federal government.

Hogan said that he even called in the Maryland National Guard to oversee the delivery of the shipment of the testing kits as they arrived at BWI.

3. in deed, i think Hogan is doing the right thing. Insane to think he has to hide it from the gov't.

4. Here's the question I have not seen an answer to--

Have the states/departments having this problem, already PAID for the supplies?

5. I live in WV next to Maryland

I often watch Hogan’s COVID updates on local Station WDVM. It’s a shame he has to dodge the Victorian Horror Doll, Kushner. Hogan seems to be a stand up guy like his father was during Watergate.

6. It seems that massive tRump-Kushner hoarde is being given to places like Russia & NKorea. . . . nt

7. Wow. Pity he has to worry about such things!

A virus is bad enough in itself, without a crazy president right-next-door in Washington DC!

Our Boris is bad enough, but he looks like a model of sanity compared with Trump.

8. I got the feeling

Boris did a 180 when he got the virus.

Shame that you've got to have a near death experience to get a clue.
