‘Mr. President, Please Do Your Job’: Gov. Wes Moore Pushes Back on Trump Blaming Him for Sewage Spill in Potomac

EXCERPT:

MOORE: “I mean, what she says is laughable, and it continues to remind me that this is not a serious team that we‘re working with. We‘re talking about a D.C. pipe on federal land, right? The area that we‘re talking about, that has been under federal control for the past century. And so, any indication or any insinuation that somehow this is a Maryland issue or a Virginia issue is ridiculous. This is a D.C. pipe on federal land. The only difference is, the reason that I ordered our team to be able to support Washington, D.C., in their effort on the cleanup was, one, I did not want contagion that would impact the people of Maryland. And second, I believe in actually helping our neighbors. And when our neighbors needed help, I told — I instructed our team to assist them and help them. And this is — in January we started this process that, for now, the past week, there is no overflow that is taking place from that jurisdiction. And now, now the White House wants to get involved even though I was doing — we were doing their job for the past month? And so, if the president wants me to ask nicely, here‘s my nice ask to the president: Mr. President, please do your job.”
