A white lawmaker from Harford County apologized to the leaders of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland for using a racial slur to describe a legislative district in Prince George’s County — but also told her black colleagues that she did not recall saying it, according to two lawmakers who attended the meeting.
Caucus members confronted Del. Mary Ann Lisanti (D) on Monday night over allegations that she told a white colleague, during an after-hours gathering at an Annapolis cigar bar, that when he campaigned in Prince George’s on behalf of a candidate last fall he was door-knocking in a “n----- district.”
Del. Darryl Barnes (D-Prince George’s), who chairs the Black Caucus, said Lisanti appeared contrite during the meeting.
“She apologized several times,” Barnes said. “She recognizes how she has hurt so many within the caucus, and she hoped to repent from this. She said that she doesn’t remember fully what happened, but she recognizes what happened.”
Lisanti, 51, did not return calls seeking comment.

For all of you non-Marylanders, Harford County is northeast of Baltimore...and is where Aberdeen Proving Ground is located.
I bet this will be the top story on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS..oopsie almost forgot, she’s a DEMOCRAT, if she were a Republican this would be national news
Was there a noose and bleach involved?
CNN will cover it just like they did VA Gov Northam (D).
Another legislator owned by the blacks.....
Anyone who works with or is around black people knows they call themselves the N word all the time.
20 year resident of PG County here.
How about another Democrat acting like a Democrat.
If a rapper can say it on the radio any citizen can say it.
I’m sorry I said it, but I didn’t really say it . . . maybe I thought it, but I don’t remember. So, I’ll probably resign just to be sure either way.
-Dem -apologized we’re good and now the blacks own him.
Maybe she can spin it as using the word as an adjective, as a synonym for miserly or stingy. She just forgot the “ly” at the end of the offensive word.
Well the truth be told, PG county is a shit hole.
For democRats, an apology is all that is needed. For Republicans, the only solution is jail or death.
Bad choice of words... It just means that she has had the privilege of spending time in the Nation's outhouse... Prince Georges County.
“I don’t recall saying that” and I’m sure I meant it in the best possible way.
Good thing for her she didn’t call it a Maccacca district.
Mary Ann represents the token democratic legislative district in the county. She lives in Havre de Grace, is a “hill person,” not a “river person” for those who know what that means.
It’s also where this FReeper lives with the extreme misfortune of being represented by a racist drunk.
I vastly prefer PG to Berkeley on the Potomac, Montgomery. (Lived in PG for 20 years...yes, by choice)
