Hogan calls RNC censure of Cheney, Kinzinger a 'sad day' for GOP
The Hill ^ | 02/04/22 08:37 PM EST | BY CAROLINE VAKIL

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) called the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) censure of Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) a “sad day” for his party.

“The GOP I believe in is the party of freedom and truth,” Hogan tweeted on Friday. “It’s a sad day for my party—and the country—when you’re punished just for expressing your beliefs, standing on principle, and refusing to tell blatant lies.”

Hogan, who is not seeking reelection as Maryland’s governor due to term limits and has previously been critical of former President Trump, is one of a group of moderate Republicans who openly questioned or outright slammed the RNC’s decision earlier on Friday to censure the two House Republicans.

I don't understand Hogan.

He's going nowhere in the GOP (outside his state) supporting these two.

It is a sad day. It is sad because they were not kicked out of the party.

He’s just another RINO idiot who would rather help the demholes instead of just being quiet

It is a sad day for the GOP. They didn’t kick them out of the party. These RINOs have no clue as how to win.

He is trolling Trump. Hope Trump doesn’t fall for it.

I understand him perfectly well.

He occupies the Guv’nah’s mansion in Annapolis.

Outside of rolling back some toll rats in the beginning of his first term, he has done *nothing* for the state.

Onerous gun laws enacted in 2013 are still in place (he won’t do anything about it).

He won’t rein in the MD Transportation Authority, who is abusing the ‘pay by plate’ tolling in the state.

He-refuses to make traffic flow smoother by making the Hatem EZ Pass good on the Susquehanna bridge.

Still no concealed carry (”may issue,” not “shall issue”).

What does he know about freedom?

The saddest day was when they joined a kangaroo court.

The pro-Lizard (and usually anti-Trump) WSJ has an op-ed saying (and paraphrasing) that censure of Cheney was divisive to the GOP.

Really?

I find it quite unifying.

And, I do like it that the RNC might somehow have discovered it's base.

minor correction.

It's in todays editorial column, not an op-ed.

What is a Hogan?
An irrelevant, going nowhere far left shill pretending to be a Republican in deep blue state.
