'It's not lowering the temperature': Republican Gov. Hogan blasts Trump tweets
Maryland's Republican Gov. Larry Hogan said Sunday that President Donald Trump's comments in response to the violence that has broken out at anti-police brutality protests across America have not helped calm the situation.
Hogan said on CNN'S "State of the Union" that "one of the most important things that a leader can do right now" is "lower the temperature."
Cities across the U.S. have seen violent protests in response to the May 25 death of George Floyd, an African-American man who died after a Minneapolis police officer restrained him by placing his knee on the back of his neck.
In his tweets, Trump has called for protesters to "honor the memory of George Floyd" by remaining peaceful, while also referring to those who acted unlawfully as "thugs," threatening to unleash "the unlimited power of our Military" upon them and slamming Minnesota's Democratic leaders for not being tough enough on them.
