Finally-Governor Hogan On Trump's Tweets Criticizing Baltimore: 'Outrageous & Inappropriate'

Hogan stated that Trump's comments were "outrageous and inappropriate," adding that angry and divisive politics are tearing the nation apart.

While discussing the comments, Hogan pointed out that just 14 hours prior to Trump's tweets, he gave a televised address on the fact that governors have found a way to move forward, but "Washington is just completely consumed with angry and divisive politics."

"Why are we not focused on solving the problems and getting to work?" Hogan asked. "Instead of who's tweeting what [and] who's calling whom names."

Hogan pressed that many officials are working to fight violence with 500 additional police officers sent to Baltimore, around 2,000 arrests, stricter sentencing for repeat offenders, tearing down 4,000 buildings through Project C.O.R.E and investing $5 billion into the city.

"We're doing a lot of things, but we sure could use some help from the White House and from the Congress," Hogan said.
