Maryland GOP Senate candidate Larry Hogan recently spoke out against former President Donald Trump's disparaging remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris. During an appearance on CBS' 'Face the Nation,' Hogan labeled Trump's comments as 'outrageous and unacceptable.'
Hogan expressed his disapproval of Trump's questioning of Vice President Harris' mental ability, stating that such remarks are not only insulting to the vice president but also to individuals with actual mental disabilities. He emphasized that divisive rhetoric, like that of Trump's, is unnecessary and harmful.
Trump's comments were made during a campaign rally where he criticized his opponent, referring to her as 'mentally disabled' due to the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the border crisis. Hogan, known for his outspoken criticism of Trump, has distanced himself from the former president and rejected his endorsement.
As a former Republican governor in the predominantly blue state of Maryland, Hogan is currently running for the Senate against Democrat Angela Alsobrooks. He has made it clear that he prioritizes 'country over party' and will not endorse either presidential candidate. Hogan reiterated his commitment to standing up to Trump, emphasizing his independent stance and willingness to challenge divisive rhetoric.
'We have a separate identity,' Hogan stated, highlighting his ongoing opposition to Trump's rhetoric. He affirmed his dedication to maintaining his independence and continuing to speak out against divisive language and behavior.
