Condemned by former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on Sunday blasted the GOP presidential field for rallying around former President Donald Trump after he was charged with 37 felonies related to classified documents he moved from the White House to his home. at the end of his term.

Its absurd that candidates won’t stand up and say that these are very serious charges, we need to take them seriously, and, you know, if you’re not going to challenge him, why challenge him? Hogan, a Republican who declined to enter the presidential race, said in a panel discussion on ABCs This Week.

You have 11, 12 challengers out there who are not challenging him, and they are, you know, kind of enablers and just making excuses, Hogan said, citing former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who both openly bashed the former president because of the accusation, is not included in that number.
