If you come after my people, if you say something against the folks in Maryland, will I respond?

Absolutely.

That's my job.

You can come to Maryland to learn, but don't come here to lecture.

This is a call you guys have.

Yeah, but it turned into a back and forth on Twitter.

crime, you'll typically hear Baltimore being the top five.

Listen, I refuse to be a governor who's just giving thoughts and prayers and offering eulogies for eight years and not doing nothing about the violence.

We're now seeing how Maryland's population is the fastest growing population we've had in Maryland in over a decade.

I can tell you about what we've done in Maryland and why it's working.

You're going to play it safe?

Well, you know what's funny, and I tell people this all the time, when I ran for governor, I was not the Democrat's choice.

The Democrats, there were like 11 people running or whatever it was.

And we had statewide elected officials.

We had two Obama cabinet secretaries.

We had the former head of the Democratic Party who was running for governor.

And me, the guy who'd never run for office in my life.

Were you like underdog at the highest level?

True.

I was polling at 1% in my first poll.
