Hogan for Maryland today released the following statement from Governor Larry Hogan:
“Saturday was a tragic day for our country. We are heartbroken for those who were killed and injured and their families.
“While I am grateful that President Trump is safe, we must recognize that the level of hatred that has been building in our politics is not just dysfunctional but dangerous.
“The country is a tinderbox, and we are clearly at a tipping point right now. I will not stand for it, and neither should any American.
“All of us have a choice to make. We can continue to go down this dark road of extreme, toxic politics, hatred, and violence or we can return to civility and respect. We’ve got to stop with the rabid tribalism, dividing our country into red and blue teams. We must get back to the red, white, and blue.
“I commit to you that I will work every single day to get us there. We are all fellow Americans. We rise and fall together as one nation.”
