Maryland – Republicans canât get out of their own way. Andy Harris went on a radio show and blasted fellow ultra conservative Republican Barry Glassman in another glaring and embarrassing showing among the warring factions in the Maryland GOP.
The Republicansâ only Congressional representative questioned Glassmanâs judgment and claimed that âThere are Republicans in the base who wonât vote for Barry Glassman this time, or ever.â
Thatâs quite the contrast from what their party leader Larry Hogan thinks of Glassman. But what does Hogan think of Harrisâ friend Dan Cox? Well he said he wouldnât give Cox a tour of the Governorâs office, let alone vote for him. What do the few Senate Republicans in Annapolis think of Cox? They claimed this week theyâd run their own race in a separate lane from Cox.
So Harris likes Cox, but not Glassman. Hogan likes Glassman, but not Cox. Glassman dislikes Cox and Harris dislikes Hogan. And Glassman opened his campaign wishing Harris kept his promise and retired. Republicans in the state house are running away from the ticket, and meanwhile, Peroutka is off singing Confederate songs. The whole ticket is a fumbling mess.
You might need a flow chart to keep track of which of their factions respects each other, but you donât have to look hard to see that their party is in, dare we say ⌠disarray.
Even at their peak, they were still dysfunctional, regressive and ineffective. When theyâre at their worst, which is currently the case, theyâre all of those things and even more importantly – dangerous to all Marylanders.
How many Republican parties are there in Maryland? And who takes the blame when they all lose in November?
âTheir whole ticket is a MAGA mess,â said Maryland Democratic Party Communications Director Brandon Stoneburg. âThereâs no energy, no vision, no enthusiasm on that side. And thatâs because theyâre too busy in-fighting. While they do that, our ticket is making us proud. Wes, Aruna, Brooke, and Anthony meet Marylanders across the state at their doors, and lead with joy.â
