As coronavirus cases continue to surge in Maryland and nationwide, President Donald Trump and Gov. Larry Hogan got into a heated exchange on Twitter earlier Sunday.
It stems from reports that the governor spent millions on faulty COVID-19 tests from South Korea.
President Trump shared a Breitbart News link Sunday afternoon, saying “Hogan is just as bad as the flawed tests he paid big money for!”
He is referring to an article originally published in the Washington Post, claiming that Gov. Hogan spent nearly $9.5 million in state funding for 500,000 coronavirus tests from South Korea, only to later find out they were flawed.
According to the report, the Hogan administration paid an additional $2.5 million to the same company for replacement tests.
After getting the replacement tests, the Post reported that they were offered two two private labs for use, but one declined due to possible false positives and the speed of the results. They say 370,000 of the replacement tests by the other lab.
Hogan said this report is completely false, and that those tests have been the cornerstone of the state’s testing strategy for months.
Report: Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, Anti-Trump Hero, Paid for Flawed Coronavirus Tests from South Korea https://t.co/PHV7euutVb via @BreitbartNews. This RINO will never make the grade. Hogan is just as bad as the flawed tests he paid big money for!

Gov. Larry Hogan responded to the tweet, saying if the President had “done your job” the country’s governors would not have had to get their own tests as he said they have done in Maryland.
“Stop golfing and concede,” he said in a tweet.
Do nothing rino larry has no right to say anything to anyone
Love my Trump!
Trump is right whether Hitler Hogan admits it or not.
Thankfully, he is term-limited here!
He has shown his true colors!
His political career should be over!
Larry Hogan is a POS!! He like so many in Maryland and around the country have NO business in leadership roles. They assume the position for self gain, like president Trump stated 9.5 MILLION DOLLARS of taxpayers money flushed down the toilet. I’m sure old Larry got a nice kickback for that. Larry is squirming, praying Biden gets in office to bail his stupid ass covid-19 destruction of Maryland. I’m amazed at how stupid Hogan and the idiot Cuomo are thinking people really believe they did a good job handling the “so called” pandemic. This whole virus was created by the Democratic leaders and a few top CEO billionaires to flush all the corruption and theft down the drain. The world’s so called great reset and Trump was in the way
Time for a protest/ riot at jackboot Hogans house
Stop being a RINO larry, you spineless waste of space
What’s truly funny is this moron thinks he has a chance at furthering his political career. Hogan don’t think for one minute you can hide your TRUE political agenda under the Republican name tag. Maryland is totally overrun with illegals and free loaders waiting for some state welfare
Pres. Trump knows how to push these punk ass politicians buttons. They fall for it everytime!
Big Head Hogan is so jealous of his president, that he makes chit up on the good man. The millions that Hogan wasted means nothing to him because it’s OPM. Wouldn’t it be nice to have access to (other peoples money). If this failed Governor makes the mistake of running for the White House, he had better hope his bride’s family made enough money off of the trash testing that she will be obligated to vote for him. That is if she has citizenship here, but I guess that doesn’t even matter today. That would probably be his only vote. I know I’ve unfortunately thrown two his way, but never again. He is as sad as that O’Malley cat that was hold up in our Governor’s mansion. I’m of the humble opinion that we voters aren’t as sharp as we would like to think.
Hogan is still using the false positive tests and that lies squarely on his shoulders. Why do they want false positive results? To further destroy the economy and our livelihoods. NOW everyone can see hogan is a liar and dont be surprised when its revealed MD’s elections have been fraudulent with the same corrupt systems for decades now. Hogan and his merry comrades are communist and out to destroy our freedoms.
What did we expect from a Dumbocrat in Hiding which what this turd truly is??? He’s as useless as tits on a boar hog…..which he favors in looks!!
Hogan is a jerk. The USA was a third world country under incompetent Obama . President Trump restored us to our rightful place as the an independent true leader of the free world where we set the rules instead of leading from behind as Obama. Hogan only won because his challenger was a black racist communist. Any real Republican could have won that race but instead we get a rhino. Hogan says these things because he thinks he has a shot at President and is so naive that he believes the left wing media will embrace him and like him. Guess he never heard Presidents Trumps story about the snake.
How much was the commission check to Mrs Hogan for that flawed Korean equipment? Glad I don’t pay MD taxes anymore.
At this point in 2016, Obama and Biden were green lighting operation Crossfire Hurricane to spy on and sabotage Donald Trump, so stfu Hogan.
Once would have considered Larry a viable Senate candidate in 2022. No more. Running as a hybrid Repub lite Dem lite was a viable election strategy for him in MD, and the President stayed off his case. But Larry’s ego has got him looking in the mirror and thinking he’s the fairest of them all. He’s not. Maybe a president can appoint him as Ambassador to S Korea so the Lt. Gov. can step up, and run as an incumbent in 2022.
