ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Activists opposed to President Donald Trump are calling on Gov. Larry Hogan to take a stand against his policies.

Three women interrupted the Board of Public Works meeting Wednesday to ask why the Republican governor wasn't speaking out against Trump.

In video recorded by a Baltimore Sun reporter, Samantha Easton asked Hogan "to speak up against the current administration's agenda." She specifically noted concerns about repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

Hogan, who did not support Trump's candidacy and didn't vote for him, says he has met with the state's congressional delegation to talk about priorities in Washington, and health care was at the top of the list.

The Sun reports that three women who interrupted the meeting and two others were escorted out, but were not arrested.
