Gov. Hogan spoke Sunday to Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union." The Republican governor called the attacks on Asian Americans “outrageous.”
He said his wife, three daughters and his grandchildren all have felt some discrimination personally.
Hogan praised President Joe Biden for addressing the issue during his first prime-time address to the nation last week.
Biden condemned violent attacks against Asian Americans and called them “un-American.”
Our family greatly appreciates the president's comments condemning the awful rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans. It truly is "un-American and it must stop." pic.twitter.com/eyhoq6KrxT
