() Wes Moore, Maryland’s Democratic governor, criticized President Trump for his negative comment about Baltimore and issued a challenge for the president to “come walk the streets.”

Moore called Trump out Thursday, urging the president to “keep our name out of your mouth,” unless he was willing to be part of a solution.

Trump spoke of Baltimore, among other cities in the U.S., that are “so far gone” when dealing with crime amid his crackdown on illegal behavior in Washington, D.C.

This led to Moore’s criticism and a letter inviting him to visit Baltimore. He joined “CUOMO” to discuss his back-and-forth with the president.

“I’d love for the president to take us up on our offer and actually come walk the streets with us,” Moore told “CUOMO.”

“If the president is going to make comments about Baltimore, then the president should actually make sure (they’re) informed comments, because the truth is, the comments that he is making from the Oval Office, the personal attacks that he’s made on me from the Oval Office, they are just inaccurate, they’re ignorant,” he added.

Moore, a former U.S. Army officer, referenced his background as a soldier when noting, “I will always fight for my folks.”

“If you come after my people, and if you, if you come after the folks who I represent best, believe that we are going to come back,” Moore said.

“If anybody wants to be a vehicle for the solution, I will ride with you, and I will work with you, and I will do it, and I will do it excitedly, but if all you want to do is take pot shots and use tropes at the people of my communities or the people of my state understand, my training is that I am a soldier, and we will clap back,” he said.
