Former GOP Marlyand Gov. Larry Hogan minced no words as he described his stance about the field of 2024 White House hopefuls vying to secure the presidential nomination.
Hogan’s remarks went as far as calling some of the candidates ‘enablers’ of former President Donald Trump, while speaking to ABC’s This Week in an interview on Sunday.

The panel focused its criticisms on candidates who have publicly voiced support for Trump, in light of his 37-count criminal indictment last week for his handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
“We’ve got 11, 12 challengers out there that aren’t challenging him,” Hogan told the panel. “And they’re sort of enablers and just making excuses. I don’t see anyone saying, ‘Why should we move on from Donald Trump?’ — with the exception of Chris Christie and maybe Asa Hutchinson, two of my former colleagues, both of whom are tough prosecutors and former U.S. attorneys that are thinking about it more seriously than some of the others.”
“This is very serious — potential national security implications,” the former Governor added. “To say, ‘we don’t want to look at that,’ anybody who doesn’t want to look at the facts, they should be disqualified from running, not just Trump.”
