Maryland Governor Wes Moore responded to former President Donald Trump's comment that he was "not worthy" to attend a White House dinner, stating he "will bow down to no one." Moore's remarks came during a CBS News town hall that aired Sunday night, following Trump's announcement that all U.S. governors would be invited to a formal meeting and dinner at the White House as part of the National Governors Association's annual conference.
According to CBS News, Moore told senior correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he would not attend the meeting if it was to be used for "name-calling." He emphasized his willingness to work with anyone but would not be subservient to anyone. The governor stated, "I will work with anyone. But I will bow down to no one. And I think the president has a problem with that."
During the same town hall, Moore also discussed immigration, stating that the country had "punted on for a very long time" on the issue, as reported by CBS News. While he condemned the Trump administration's policies as a "cruel and reckless political agenda," he also criticized the Biden administration, saying that it "needed to do more." Moore stated, "We needed to do more. That, I don't think anyone can argue that we had the system worked out under President Biden that immigration was worked out," according to CBS News.
