Md. governor gives his take on Confederate flag, symbols
WASHINGTON — Maryland Governor Larry Hogan says he agrees with the decision to take the Confederate battle flag off the grounds of the State Capitol in South Carolina, but there’s only so far the Republican governor is willing to go when it comes to scrubbing offensive symbols from public spaces.
During a news conference on Thursday, Hogan told reporters he’d taken action to remove the confederate flag from state license plates, but he said, “Some of this other stuff, to me, is going too far and is political correctness run amok.”

I can tell you this much Larry Hogan, I was one of your biggest supporters and I can assure you I and many others have been fooled. You remind me of Jim Ireton and I despise the both of you. I despise you now and I hope Mr. Albero lets you see these comments.
I worked on your campaign, Sir. I am done with you!
Let's just make history go away to suit people who find it disturbing.
ReplyDeleteWow, lookey here, another RINO caving to the loudest voices.
ReplyDeleteI am so ashamed of myself for voting for these fools.
That idiot should have left well enough alone.
ReplyDeleteI can assure you he has lost a lot of support with this dumb move. He had nothing to do with this. What an ignoramus!
Completely lost my support. The man has no back bone. This states history is with the Confederacy.

To 10:45 The state's history was with the Confederacy. But as you stated above "was" is the keyword and refers to the past.
ReplyDeletethats right
ReplyDeleteI support Hogan and his approach to all of this.
ReplyDeletePeople weren't "so offended" until they were told to be offend. This is nothing but madness.
