In what can only be described as an unprecedented display of partisan pettiness, Democrat governors appear to have collectively boycotted President Trump's White House dinner during the National Governors Association winter meeting this past Saturday night.
Reporters on the scene noted the glaring absence of any Democrat governors at what has traditionally been a bipartisan gathering where elected officials put politics aside for an evening of diplomacy and dialogue. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump graciously hosted the event, but their olive branch was apparently rejected by the radical left.
This childish behavior from Democrat governors speaks volumes about the current state of the Democratic Party. While President Trump extends an invitation to work together for the American people, these so-called "leaders" can't even show basic respect for the office of the presidency—or the taxpayers who fund their salaries.
A Pattern of Obstruction
This boycott fits perfectly with the Democrats' playbook of resistance at all costs. Rather than engaging in good-faith discussions about issues affecting their states—from border security to economic growth—these governors chose to throw a collective tantrum instead.
Meanwhile, Republican governors who did attend had the opportunity to discuss real solutions with President Trump, including his America First agenda that's already delivering results. From mass deportations cleaning up our communities to deregulation boosting business growth, there's plenty of success to celebrate.
"The contrast couldn't be clearer: Republicans focused on governing, Democrats focused on grandstanding."
What message does this send to the American people? That Democrat governors care more about scoring political points than representing their constituents? That they're so consumed by Trump Derangement Syndrome they can't even attend a dinner?
Patriots, this is exactly why we voted for President Trump's second term. While Democrats play games, Trump gets results. Their absence from this dinner only proves they're not serious about working for the American people—they're just the opposition party, plain and simple.
