Maryland’s Republican governor strongly criticized President Donald Trump for his recent controversial comments about four freshman congresswomen of color, but he stopped short of using the word “racist.”
In an interview with WJZ-TV in Baltimore, Gov. Larry Hogan said “I thought the comments were terrible and very unbecoming of a president and totally inappropriate.”
Hogan has been critical of Trump in the past and even considered challenging him in a Republican primary in 2020, although he announced in June that he would not make that move.
Trump intensified his attacks on the women at a North Carolina rally Wednesday, putting racial polarization at the center of his call for voters, a move that hasn’t been seen by a presidential candidate since 1968.

He has become a real disappointment to his conservative base.
He has shown himself to be a true Rino!
A center left republican who is really a Democrat or a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Hogan needs to get some honesty about him. This utter dishonesty reflects on a poor upbringing. The President didn't mention any names in his tweet. Blame the Skank "squad" who immediately stepped up to the plate and by stepping up only proved that what the President and many others say about them is 100 percent true and factual.
10:06 Start the recall process to show you clowns mean business or shut the
f' up...
Totally a disappointment to have a Rhino Governor.
Larry doesn't understand Donald.
Amazing, the same Governor who has jeopardized the lives of correctional officers by severe understaffing. Whose quest to unload the prisons has resulted in our largest city remaining a killing field. Pres. Trump loves America. Hogan loves Hogan.
Hogan's jealousy toward President Trump is so very apparent. All Hogan does is sit around 24/7 waiting for some way to try and talk down on the President. I really can't wait until he is gone. I would rather have a democrat then a jealous phony republican like Hogan. At least we know where a democrat stands unlike dishonest "republicans" like Hogan.
He loves to criticize Trump and pound his chest about how good the economy is in Maryland. He fails to mention all the government employees that live in this state. If the federal government is doing bad....this state will suffer. He has done nothing for the Eastern shore except show up to get his picture taken. He boasts about all the jobs he's brought to the state. How many has he brought to the Eastern Shore? Even Western Maryland gets more help. Look at the papermill that went out of business and all the help he gave them. He did nothing when Labinal closed.
10:33 Larry understands him alright. Larry is pea green with envy and is very very jealous of Donald. These actions of Larry's are not normal but are the actions of someone consumed with jealousy. Could be Larry fancies his self some big real estate mogul and has issues because he never made it to the big time like Donald did. Also we know he was throwing out primarying Donald so it's clear Larry fancies his self the President one day. He never pursued knowing he would not even break double digits int he primaries including MD and this really stepped up his jealousy and envy towards Donald.
Trump has the balls to say what everyone else is thinking!! Get over it and the victim mentality
Who cares what this RINO thinks about national politics.
His political career is over.
Then he wonders why we don't get any money from the feds
I voted for Hogan and was glad he won. His open opposition toward Trump has angered me and will never support this man again.
The hell with all the politically correct BS, Trump tells it like it is, the way the good majority of us want to hear it, no beating around the bush. No one wants to hear what Rino Larry says.
RINO
Hogan is a miserable phony who because of his own failure as governor of MD can't talk about anything positive so has to keep bashing President Trump. His legacy will be one of a miserable phony and yes jealous governor who acts like a poorly brought up child.
Were Trumps comments racist? Probably not, but I never saw him doing or saying the same things to Bernie Sanders, and Sanders has been spouting the same "squad" rhetoric for most of his career.
Hogan, is not wrong, and neither are the other Republicans and Right Wing talking heads that are condemning Trumps comments as inappropriate, misleading, and xenophobic. Definitely unbecoming of the President.
We want honesty and integrity, right? We condemn it when the other team isn't... don't we? Look, I voted for Trump... but I call a duck a duck when I see one.
Larry should stick to being a governor who moves Maryland forward. That includes putting a tourniquet on Baltimore and thwarting crazy actions by the legislature. If he did that he could run successfully for the US Senate. There he could run his mouth without being required to accomplish anything. And he'd still be light years better than our incumbents.
Why doesn't someone shove a crab cake in his FAT HEAD??
No, he's truly a sheep
Ironically, the people telling Americans that if they don't like their government they should leave, are the same people telling asylum seekers that if they don't like their government they should stay and fix it.
One thing for sure he speaks the truth, like it or lump it. With my 37 years with a Fortune 500 it was always great to have the upper crust give you the straight poop rather than a bunch of BS like we got from Obama and Bush. Now we have another idiot like Jake "the snake" Day. Sad!!!!!
Larry Hogan is definitely an inappropriate POS!! Why the State and National Republican Party and local clubs keep supporting this clown is beyond me. No wonder people keep leaving the Party and becoming an Independent!
Huh 3:05? Did you even bother to read the tweets? That is exactly what the President said-if some don't like it here go back to where they came from "and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came"
And what does Hogam say of all the inappropriate remarks made by these congresswomen? They are anti-American and should go somewhere else.
I really don't think Trump gives a rat's ass about what Hogan says or thinks about him.
Every time larry opens his mouth he's said inappropriate things. He thinks lying to the citizens of this state is an ok thing to do...his IQ is much lower than I ever thought....and he just keeps pushing that bar. Rino isn't the correct word for a communist sympathizer. We really need to tear down from their positions anyone in the Rep Comm. who continue to support Hogan the Communist sympathizer. You cant get anymore un-American than that Larry....you've really pushed that bar to the max....inappropriate isnt even the correct word for the traitorous act youve just committed against your Oath, Country and the People of this State.
Pandering and posturing
Well I guess coming from hog an's minds eye, tell the Truth would seem to be "inappropriate". But mostly I think he just wanted to tell the world that he'd rather pat the backs of these 4 clearly unamerican people {2 of which will soon lose their positions of power because they obtained them through illegal means/violating the laws}....rather than keep his bumbling mouth shut, let alone show any support or respect to Americans or anyone who voted for Trump. You support law breakers Larry Hogan? Do you support the illegals over tax paying citizens Larry? You patting the back of your unleashed dog frosh...in all these nationwide frivolous law suites against Trump and wasting millions of hard earned tax payers money? You think supporting those the violate and tear at the Constitution too dont ya? In fact you even submitted a Bill that violates the 4th amendment of every citizen of this state....didnt you Larry? Yeah...your really showing all those who entrusted you just what kind of traitor you really are below the surface...you know all about inappropriate dont cha.
Hogan for senate?
I sure hope that RINO/POS doesn't come to our Wicomico County Fair this year
Hogan would LOVE it if Trump would tweet a reply to Hogan's comments. But Trump doesn't even acknowledge that Hogan exists. How small does that make HOGAN feel? Hogan means nothing to Trump, or the Republican party. Hogan is just spouting what his Democrats want him to say. RINO much?
Hogan = RINO POS.
Hey Hogan, stop siding with fake news and do some research before you comment. President Trump did not mention who he was talking about. Apparently they identify with what the President said as they stood up and said he was talking about them. Sounded like a confession to me. Those four horse faces of the Apocalypse are using it for political gain.
It's time for US to take back our country and to have a voice again in what goes on in the government. And we can do it by having Presidents back. And give him your vote come 2020. Together we can do this. Oh, and get rid of this RINO. He knows damn well that Trump did not call out anyone by name. THEY stood up and confessed it was them he was referring to.
