The readout also noted that Obama had spoken with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

“The President highlighted the Administration’s commitment to provide assistance as needed and will continue to receive updates on the situation from Attorney General Lynch and White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett,” the White House explained, adding that Jarrett had spoken with Maryland Governor Larry Hogan earlier in the day.

Jarrett also spoke with Democratic Congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland, from Baltimore, about the situation, according to reports.

By 9:00 p.m., as fires were breaking out across the city, Hogan revealed during a press conference that that Obama called to thank him for declaring a state of emergency in response to the rioting and asked him to exercise “due restraint.”

There should not be a single working person ever vote for another Demonrat.

Unfortunately, that is a declining demographic.

The police are already showing “restraint”: standing around doing nothing while the rioters raise hell!
