Recent attempts to discredit Dr. Anthony Fauci as the White House struggles with the coronavirus pandemic response are"absolutely outrageous," according to Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on ABC News' 'Powerhouse Politics' podcast.

"I think at this time in America, as we're dealing with these raw emotions, and trying to deal with the issues of racism to have the president of the United States make inflammatory comments like that, it's just outrageous.
