Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan critiqued former President Barack Obama and the former mayor of Baltimore for their response to the riots that took place in the city in 2015.
"I assumed he was calling to offer federal assistance to the state of Maryland. Boy, was I wrong. 'I’m calling to express my concern,' he continued. 'I’m concerned that your actions could potentially inflame an already tense environment. My strong advice would be that you exercise caution and restraint in the city. Because it is a volatile situation,'" Hogan wrote in the book, which was obtained by Fox News.
Hogan said that he did not heed Obama's guidance, writing, "He couldn't stop me. I was the governor."
