Gov. Larry Hogan Makes Absurd Comparison for People Not Wearing a Mask

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said during a press conference that not wearing a mask while being out in public is like driving while drunk and there is no Constitutional right to do either of those things.

"Well, it's sort of like saying, 'I have a Constitutional right to drive drunk. I have a Constitutional right to not wear a seatbelt,' or to yell 'fire' in a crowded movie theatre or to not follow the speed limit. We're talking about a quarter of a million people dying already. More than the Korean War, the Gulf War, and the Vietnam War added together," Hogan said.

"Which part do you not understand? Wear a mask. There's no Constitutional right to walk around without a mask. We did it in 1918, I don't know why we can't do it now," Hogan continued.

Hogan should be wearing a clown mask or paper bag over his head.

Hogan will be the first one out in 2024,

He has no charisma or leadership skills. His appearance is repugnamt.

He show how is out of league when he got taken by scammers
buying useless tests. He then blames it on Trump.

He beat two horrible dems. He suffers from McCain disease.

He wants to be in the middle and not take any stands.

He will get no votes from either side.

He will be running against a term limited trump or kamala.

I keep seeing that sort of thing pop up in replies on FB. Hopefully, it’s not true.

Yep. Glad I am pro-life, both for the unborn and for the folks most at risk from this virus.

Dear Mr. Hogan,

I do have a U.S. Constitutional right to do all those things!

I also have a right to say "Shut the -- up, Mr. Hogan!"

Sincerely,

Not Your Lackey

Further evidence that being a Republican is being a member of The Stupid Party. How do these assholes get elected?

I called his office and asked for the citation of exactly where in the Constitution he found that little penumbra.

Then I suggested he resign.

He secretly bought $9 million worth of faulty test kits from South Korea. His wife made the deal and they flew them over in charter 747’s. The tests were immediately locked up. Then we found out the tests weren’t FDA approved. Then we would out they had no swabs or reagent rendering them worthless. Then Larry Hogan secretly swapped them out for better ones for only $2-3 more each ($1,500,000)

Today, his wife gets a major award from South Korea for all of their subterfuge

He said people in the republican party are looking for someone who is middle of the road and can compromise across the aisle.
..............................................
exactly why I am no longer in the RP! I’m hoping to be in the America Patriot Party established by Donald John Trump and his high-profile supporters in both the private and the public sectors. From what I read it appears a Trump-led party would have tens of millions of members signed up within a week!

Let Hogan show the proof that masks help first, & then if he can do that, it would be OK to recommend wearing them. Nothing in the Constitution about wearing them, tho. Judges demand proof, why can’t the public do the same?
