BREAKING: Hogan Hides as Republicans Attack Dr. Blasey Ford & Move Forward with Kavanaugh Nomination

Annapolis, MD — During an interview with the Baltimore Sun editorial board, Larry Hogan ducked, dodged and refused to say if he supports Brett Kavanaugh. Hogan also failed to take the opportunity to stand with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford amid an unprecedented and callous barrage of attacks from the Republican Party, Hogan said, that he did not “feel educated enough to make a decision” and that he’s “not qualified to make those decisions.” Hogan’s artful dodge comes on the heels of his refusal to disavow Maryland Republican Congressman Andy Harris’ “vile”comments referring to Dr. Blasey Ford as a “troubled woman” with “psychological problems,” and Donald Trump’s callous remarks mocking Dr. Blasey Ford.

In the more than 120 hours since Dr. Blasey Ford’s testimony, Larry Hogan has ignored multiple calls for him to state clearly and unequivocally whether he believes her earnest, convincing and credible allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. On Sunday, Kellyanne Conway refused to say if President Trump believes Dr. Blasey Ford and questioned the veracity of Dr. Blasey Ford’s testimony.

While Hogan appears to have doubts about Dr. Blasey Ford’s testimony, Republican Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker made his position clear, tellingreporters, “I believe Professor Ford.”

Maryland Democratic Party spokesperson Fabion Seaton issued the following statement renewing the party’s call for Larry Hogan to let Maryland voters know if he supports Dr. Blasey Ford:

“Larry Hogan has taken many cowardly positions during his time in office, but his refusal to stand by Dr. Blasey Ford as she is being relentlessly attacked by the Republican Party is by far the most cowardly. While Donald Trump and the Republican Party are attacking Dr. Blasey Ford, Governor Hogan cannot find the courage to stand up for her and all survivors. It’s shameful. Governor Hogan’s cowardly dodge is just another example that he is not the leader Maryland needs. Maryland needs a governor like Ben Jealous who has the courage and the vision to stand up for Maryland values and move Maryland forward.”

He is a republican governor in a blue state. It's not related to his job. He's smart to just avoid it.

When I turned 18 back in the early 80’s, I did three things the day after. First, I registered with the Selective Sercice. Second, I registered to vote. Third, I joined the Republican Party.

Since then, I have never voted for a democrat.

However, Hogan has been such a disappointment I may have to, for the first time, pull the lever for a Democrat.

Way to go Hogan. Your failure to stand with President Trump will be your downfall.

Good riddance.

Don't be stupid. No matter how bad you think Hogan is, Jealous would be a disaster. Vote Hogan. Staying home is like a vote for Jealous. Use your brain!

Why should Hogan expose himself one way or the other to something over which he has no control or real skin in the game? He's a Republican in a very Blue state, trying to hang in there. Let the Dems wonder. Everyone else, keep faith.

4:24 don't vote Democrat just because you are PO'ed at Gov.Hogan. That would be a big mistake, we all have arguments with family members but that doesn't mean we desert the family. Think about it, voting is serious s#!t man.

So, the governor of Maryland is supporting a Maryland judge. Is there anything wrong with that?

We've seen enough of these so called survivors to know many are liars and nothing of the sort ever happened. What is apparent is that Ford is in this category. Her life long friend Leland Beckel (formerly) told the FBI in the latest investigation that she was being pressured to lie by another mutual friend. Shows the lack of character of Ford by who she surrounds herself with.
But this is typical democrat crap. They feel they can tell people how and what to think about everything and Governor Hogan isn't going for it. Like the President said last night you don't give matches to an arsonist you don't give power to an angry mob. That is what the democrat party is an angry mob who lie constantly and without any remorse due to a complete lack of any decency and morals.
The best thing to do is to vote straight Republican and this goes for not only national but state and local elections. Local politicians must not be let off the hook and must pay for the sins of the demons in Wash DC because they are no better and really worse because they lie to our faces.

He is a very weak man. Snowflake like.

I didn't say I wouldn't vote for him jackass. My point is that he is a huge disappointment to conservatives.

Hogan's a wimp and has no core values. Only values that will help him get re-elected. Middle of the road is 'road kill'...

Your advice would be good except for one problem:

The Republicans are just as corrupt as the Democrats.

If you don’t realize that, then you have fallen for the mind control. The richest people in the world control both political parties. The real bad people hide their names behind powerful Think Tanks and cut out politicians.

Learn the truth

You are on the wrong thread.

11:07 What you are saying was true BEFORE. Since 2016 it's now different. Republicans are seeing the hand writing on the wall if they want to be re elected and are now climbing onboard with the new Republican party founded by President Trump.
One thing is certain and that is no one controls my mind. I have everyone's number and am so astute I even have the number of the Anon commenters on this blog. No one has ever been able to pull anything over on me. Not ever nor will anyone ever.
I have forgotten more of the truth then anyone including yourself can ever hope to know so I already know the truth.
