[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why Marylanders support this spineless excuse for a Governor.  I'm definitely not voting for him in November

[quote]Hogan on the Muslim ban.
You came under fire shortly after Trump was inaugurated for not saying anything publicly about his proposed Muslim ban.

Hogan:  It really wasn’t impacting our state. There wasn’t a single person at B.W.I. Airport who was detained. I didn’t approve of it. People asked, “Why aren’t you at B.W.I. protesting with Martin O’Malley and one of our senators?” My job as governor isn’t to go out and lead protest marches.

I think what some people were saying was, “Why not just issue a statement?”

I guess that at the time, it didn’t rise to the point where it was something I thought I should weigh in on.

Hogan on Trump's Russia Performance
Governor Whitman was writing in the immediate aftermath of Helsinki and that news conference. What did you think of that performance?

Hogan:  It was embarrassing. It was disappointing. But can you say the president needs to be removed from office because of his poor performance?

Does it create in you serious questions about whether he’s compromised in some way in his relationship with Russia?

Hogan:  I’m not willing to go that far. Just from what I see in the media, it doesn’t give me the facts to make that kind of decision.

Hogan on the Republican Party
Are you ashamed of your party?

Hogan: I wouldn’t say I’m ashamed of the party. I’m sometimes embarrassed by some of the people in the party. I think that frankly the Democrats should be ashamed of some of the people in their party. I certainly wouldn’t become a Democrat today.
