National Governors at White House: Threats Promises “It Chilled the Room” – 50 Govs Sign Letter Opposing Guard Cuts

Governor Nikki Haley, South Carolina:

Excerpt from Maggie'sNotebook“ You know, and I just want to say that it was — it always is a very respectful exchange, and we always agree that we can agree to disagree. The tone completely changed when we started talking about the National Guard. It automatically went into an aggressive nature by him, implying that many of you have asked for cuts. This is what you said you wanted. Don’t start coming in and now complaining that these cuts are affecting you because you said you wanted it, now you’re going to get it, you’re going to have to live with it, and if somebody questions it, I’m going to have something to say about it — completely different change in tone.
“And it was towards the end of the meeting. But — and it wasn’t just a change in tone from him to Republican governors; you felt it to all governors. And so it chilled the room quite a bit.” Read more from Haley, including about South Carolina’s ‘First Husband,’ who just completed a year’s deployment."
