Ravens coach John Harbaugh, along with his brother, Jim, recently visited President Trump in the Oval Office. During Harbaugh\u2019s first media availability since it happened, he was asked about it.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t like the question.<\/p>\n

Via Sarah Ellison of the Ravens Vault podcast, a reported questioned Harbaugh on Trump\u2019s past \u201cdenigrating\u201d comments about Baltimore. Harbaugh didn\u2019t appreciate the framing of the question.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy would you frame the question<\/a> \u2014 I would\u2019ve framed that question like, \u2018You got a chance to go visit with the president, man. What was that experience like?\u2019\u201d Harbaugh said. \u201cIt was amazing. It was awesome. And I promise you, I root for our president. I want our president to be successful just like I want my quarterback to be successful and I want my team to be successful. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an amazing experience. It\u2019s not often you get invited to do something like that as a family. We were there, my daughter was there, Jim\u2019s daughters were there. My mom and dad were there. My mom and President Trump \u2014 just seeing how he treated her was really meaningful. That\u2019s the fourth president [I\u2019ve met]. Jim has met seven presidents so he\u2019s got the lead on me. . . . I had the chance to meet President Obama twice. Incredible experience. Had a chance to meet President Biden, when he was vice president, in Iraq. I spent a lot of time with him in Iraq, which was amazing. Those are moments that I definitely cherish and it means a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2019, Trump called Baltimore a \u201cdisgusting, rat and rodent infested mess<\/a>\u201d where \u201cno human being would want to live.\u201d And it was absolutely fair for a reporter to ask the man who coaches the NFL team that calls Baltimore its home for his thoughts on those comments.<\/p>\n

It was Harbaugh\u2019s prerogative to bristle at the question and not answer it. But it was absolutely a fair question. Anyone who calls Baltimore home rightfully should have been offended by the remark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ravens coach John Harbaugh, along with his brother, Jim, recently visited President Trump in the Oval Office.
