Maryland Democratic Party Criticizes Governor Larry Hogan’s Derogatory Comments

Annapolis, MD—Last night, after Governor Larry Hogan claimed in an interview that he comes from “the Ronald Reagan school of politics,” Chairwoman Dr. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings stated that “With this, Larry Hogan promises to be a dog whistle white nationalist instead of a Trumpian white nationalist. This is a cold comfort when what the world needs is love & Unity.”

In addition to policies that directly undermined Civil Rights, Ronald Reagan infamously used derogatory terms like “welfare queen” to play on racist imagery and stereotypes in order to draw support for his political platforms. There is a troubling parallel between Reagan and Hogan’s political rhetoric, as demonstrated by Hogan’s comments yesterday when he criticized the Democratic-controlled legislature, saying it “seems to be the most pro-criminal group of legislators I’ve ever seen.” Yet this is not new for Larry Hogan. From killing Baltimore’s Red Line to his war on public education, Hogan has channeled Reagan in both rhetoric and deed by his track record of public hostility toward underserved communities.

Hogan’s comments yesterday were insensitive and irresponsible, and like Reagan’s derogatory comments before him, will only exacerbate negative stereotypes, divide Marylanders, and contribute to a more toxic political culture. The Maryland Democratic Party is calling on Larry Hogan to apologize for his comments.

what was her statement on the Dem who used the N word? Oh, here it is "I also recognize that Lisanti serves in a legislative body in a state where racism has been endemic and reflected in policies and politics that have perpetuated historic inequities." Poor Larry wanted to make friends with these vipers!

I wonder if Dr. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings knows that Reagan was a Democrat before he wised up and switched parties. He certainly knew how the Dems operated. So if he were still alive he would probably tell her, as he did a reporter" Oh shut up". If Gov. Hogan stays the Reagan course he may have another chance to be re elected.

Hogan is a liar! Regan also said never speak ill of a fellow republican. The fool must’ve been somewhere else when regan was president. Go away Larry tired of your sorry ass bs!

Yeah, look at the "love & Unity" that her husband has given us for years. Don't be fooled. She just wants another 100% Democrat in the Gov's chair.

Cummings is guaranteed to be as corrupt and racist as her husband.

Is Dr. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings aware that President Reagan was a Democrat until he wised up and switched parties in 1962. If he were still alive today, he just might tell the Dr., as he did a reporter, " Oh, shut up". Keep following Reagan's path and the Governor might just get more support.

Does Cummings have an opinion about Baltimore's black mayor's $500,000.00 fee she just received by 'selling' books that nobody ordered or wanted to children of Baltimore? And nobody can find any of the books or show where or when then were delivered.

So she is black. That explains it. Just another black with a pocket full of race cards. How come they can go on about the color of whites, but heaven forbid we say a word about their color?
