Trump slams ‘RINO’ Stitt over National Governors Association dinner
President Trump excluded two Democratic governors from NGA White House events, calling them unworthy, while NGA Chair Stitt emphasized the group's bipartisan mission amid controversy.
- On Wednesday, President Donald J. Trump branded Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt a RINO and said invitations went to all governors except two he deemed unworthy on Truth Social.
- Because the White House intended to limit invitations to the Feb. 20 business meeting to Republican governors, Stitt wrote that NGA would no longer facilitate the event, citing its mission to represent all 55 governors.
- Two White House events are scheduled, with a business meeting on Friday and a traditional Saturday dinner; Stitt said `it's all 50 governors.` and as of Tuesday evening, only Republican governors had invites for Friday.
- Some Democratic governors signaled they would not attend the White House dinner, while Brandon Tatum, NGA chief executive, stood by the group's timeline of events.
- The meeting remains scheduled for Feb. 20, with Stitt saying Trump invited all governors to the White House governors' conference breakfast, highlighting strains on bipartisan organizations.
