CBS News host Margaret Brennan seemingly advocated for Democratic governors to push back on President Donald Trump over the weekend while interviewing New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D).
The moment on &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; happened when Brennan asked Hochul about a contentious interaction that Trump had with Maine Governor Janet Mills (D).
Trump and Mills had the following interaction at the White House last week:
<blockquote>DONALD TRUMP: Is Maine here, the Governor of Maine?
GOVERNOR JANET MILLS: Yes, I&#8217;m here.
TRUMP: Are you not going to comply with it?
MILLS: I will comply with state and federal laws.
TRUMP: Well, I&#8217;m – we are the federal law. Well, you better do it. You better do it, because you&#8217;re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don&#8217;t.</blockquote>
&#8220;That was about transgender athletes on girls sports teams,&#8221; Brennan said about the exchange.
&#8220;Are you Democratic governors going to start to work together on this?&#8221; Brennan pressed. &#8220;Is there legal pushback?&#8221;
Hochul responded by claiming that Trump was &#8220;flooding the zone.&#8221;
&#8220;They&#8217;re attacking California when it comes to FEMA dollars,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They&#8217;re filing lawsuits in Illinois. They&#8217;re going after Maine on this, and they&#8217;re coming after programs that have been duly put in place in the state of New York.&#8221;
&#8220;What they&#8217;re trying to do is create this theater of all kinds of activity that is trying to be a distraction to us,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;And when someone floods the zone in a football game, what you need to have is the defenders be very disciplined, smart, but also stand their ground. And that&#8217;s exactly what New York governors, the governor of New York will do, in cooperation with our governors.&#8221;
She claimed that Democrat governors would not &#8220;sit idly by and let our rights be attacked.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;ll work with you when there&#8217;s common ground, no doubt about it,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Let&#8217;s build great projects and infrastructure. There&#8217;s areas where we&#8217;re going to work with you on immigration and getting the violent criminals off our streets. We do not dispute that. But don&#8217;t think that you can just come in and bully us around and not expect a reaction from governors.&#8221;
WATCH:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she will cooperate with other Democratic governors to push back on the Trump administration&#8217;s efforts to target some of their policies.
&#8220;We&#8217;re not going to sit by and let our rights be attacked,&#8221; she says.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t think that you can just come in… <a href="https://t.co/xP1o5Jkbx6">pic.twitter.com/xP1o5Jkbx6</a>
