"As the nation's only black governor" [View all]

...my governor.



“I have long learned that I’m not trying to get inside of the president’s psyche. It’s not a good use of my time,” Moore said.

“It’s not lost on me that I’m the only Black governor in this country, and I find that to be particularly painful, considering the fact that the president is trying to exclude me from an organization that not only all my peers have asked me to help to lead, but then also a place where I know I belong.”

Moore also said on CNN that the White House dinner with governors and their spouses would no longer be an official National Governors Association event.

“If the president wants to have a dinner with his friends and have a black tie dinner with his friends on that night, that is perfectly fine. It will not be an NGA event,” Moore said.
