Outgoing Maryland GOP Larry Hogan is escalating his comments about the mental health of his state party’s Trump-backed gubernatorial nominee, whom Hogan earlier this week called a “nut” and not “mentally stable.”
Hogan, an outspoken critic of former President Trump, made the comment Wednesday on WGMD-FM, a conservative-leaning radio station on the Delmarva Peninsula.
“He’s not, in my opinion, mentally stable,” Hogan said of nominee Dan Cox, according to The Washington Post . “He wanted to hang my friend, Mike Pence, and took three busloads of people to the Capitol.”
Cox last year called Pence a “traitor” because as Trump’s vice president he rejected calls to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 election results inside the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, when the riot started.
Cox, a state delegate who attended the MAGA rally before the riot, later apologized for using such language and denounced the violence that day in the nation’s capital.
Hogan, who this weekend is at the Iowa state fair – considered a must-stop for prospective presidential candidates – also said in the radio interview that Cox has “no chance whatsoever” of winning Maryland’s gubernatorial election in November. (Among registered voters in the state, Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-to-1.)
Cox said in response: “Hogan has a problem with telling the truth and mounting smear antics.”
Hogan has also previously referred to Cox, who strong opposed Hogan’s pandemic mandates, as a “QAnon whackjob.”
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
