“When you, after Governor Abbott was doing it in Texas, he went to Texas and basically, you know, grabbed 50 people and sent them to Martha’s Vineyard as a publicity stunt,” Hogan added, noting that DeSantis had copied the tactic from Abbott.

“And I think it was a terrible idea. Let’s just, you know, try to address the issue seriously and fix the problem rather than trying to get on TV. It’s back to what I was saying earlier about the performative politics. It’s not a serious discussion. It’s not a good solution,” Hogan concluded.


Hogan, like Abbott and DeSantis, are rumored to run for Pres in 2024.
If so, Hogan is trying to set himself apart from other Repubs by NOT being a MAGA idiot.

I think he's been a good Gov for MD. (He cant run for a 3rd time because term limits)

i expect more Hogan attacks on MAGA zealots, especially if he announces.

It's great to hear a reasonable republican like him. Problem is he would get crushed in any primary for the presidency. Only a few percent of the GQP are able to say this kind of stuff because the rest have sold their souls to MAGA.

How would we fix the problem when Democrats refuse to back the existing immigration laws? How about acknowledging simple facts about the uncontrolled flow of illegal aliens is not a net positive for any country.

yea, that’s why he can be a state level position, and won’t go national. Just not crazy enough for the GOP
