Politicians Behind COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates Should Be Brought to Justice: Maryland AG Candidate

Politicians who enacted strict COVID-19 measures including lockdowns and vaccine mandates should be brought to justice, says Republican Maryland Attorney General candidate Michael Peroutka.

“Nothing could be more on the point that all these lockdowns, mandates, orders, edicts, proclamations, declarations, whatever you want to call them, none of them were lawful. They were all violation of the law, and that can’t continue,” Peroutka told The Epoch Times. “Those people who have violated this document [the Maryland Constitution] need to be brought to justice.”

He believes that implementing the restrictions was an abuse of power under the Maryland Constitution, citing Article 44 of the Maryland Declaration of Rights, a document similar to the Bill of Rights.

Article 44 says “any departure” or “violation” of the provision of the U.S. Constitution and Maryland Constitution, for whatever reason, is subversive of “good Government.”

He thinks the science behind the COVID-19 measures is far from being perfect, but even if it is, the law still prohibits the government from implementing such restrictions.

Peroutka was a presidential candidate in 2004 for the Constitution Party. He defeated Jim Shalleck, a former state and federal prosecutor, and won the Republican nomination for attorney general of Maryland in July.

Before running for the attorney general position, he was a council member for Anne Arundel County between 2014 and 2018.

He also holds the view that “overreach” is not enough to define what both the federal government and the Old Line State government did during the pandemic.

“I wouldn’t even call it ‘overreach.’ I think to some extent ‘overreach’ is a bad term. If the government reaches where it has no right to reach at all, that’s not overreaching, that’s just criminal. That’s a misuse of the office,” he said. Stopping Lawlessness in Government

The Democrats have held the Maryland Attorney General’s Office for decades. The last time a Republican presided over the office in Maryland was between 1952 and 1954.

As a vehement Constitution originalist, Peroutka believes the Constitution should be interpreted as to how the Founders intended in the context of belief and morality.

“The whole of the [living] Constitution idea is invented by people who don’t want to follow the Constitution at all,” he said.

If elected to preside over the Office of the Attorney General, his utmost priority will be stopping lawlessness in government. In addition, he also strongly supports the Second Amendment and vows to protect the right to life.

Peroutka believes so-called red flag laws are unlawful and don’t have due process.

“Red flag laws say, ‘we’ll take your property now. And then we’ll check into the due process later to see whether that was OK.’ No, that’s not due process. That’s a violation of the Constitution,” he said. Democrat Candidate’s Policy Agenda

Rep. Anthony Brown (D-Md.), the Democrat candidate, has a long record of public service.

He was elected to the U.S. House in 2016. He was the lieutenant governor of Maryland between 2007 and 2015 and a Maryland state assemblyman between 1999 and 2007.

He served in the U.S. Army as an aviation officer from 1984 to 1989 and in the U.S. Army Reserve for 25 years after that.

According to his campaign website, Brown is running on a typical Democrat Party platform. His policy priorities include expanding voting access in Maryland, legalizing marijuana, protecting abortion, protecting the environment and fighting climate change, and ensuring equity, equality, and fairness to help black Maryland residents.

He also pledges to continue his long-time work in regulating guns, following introducing and co-sponsoring several bills in the U.S. House intended to regulate guns.

He supports red flag laws, wants to raise the minimum age for gun purchases, and backs microstamping ammunition for semi-automatic handguns.

DO NOT FORGET what they’ve done to you.
Do not let their sudden realization they are in bad shape politically excuse the last two-plus years of abuses.
They shut down your job.
Called many of you “non-essential.”
Closed your kids’ schools.
Expected you to live off $1200 for months while they got richer and richer.
Denied you the ability to be with your dying loved ones.
Then denied you the ability to give those loved ones a proper funeral.
While they let George Floyd have three.
While they went on vacation.
Visited family.
The hair salon.
They arrested you for paddle boarding by yourself.
They shut down the parks and the playgrounds.
They called you a grandma killer if you questioned them.
Suspended you from social media if you didn’t obey the narrative.

They called you domestic terrorists when you demanded your kids get the education your tax dollars paid for.
They mocked you when you demanded a return to normalcy for children.
They sneer at your concern over empty shelves and exploding grocery and utility bills.
They messed with supply chains and emptied store shelves, while the elites partied on yachts and Martha’s Vineyard.
They queered women’s sports and the military, and made the citizenry pay for it.
They sexualized schoolchildren, and persecuted parents at school board meetings.
They denied you the chance to try alternative treatments for COVID.
Then they fired you for not getting the vaccine.
When you stand up for your freedom, they call you Nazis and bigots.

Do not forget what they have done.
Do not forgive them.
They are hoping that, by November, you have forgotten the nightmareof the last 2+ years.
YOU struggle to make ends meet and the best the Biden administration can do is free crack pipes for “racial equity.”
This is on top of the woke, cancel culture bull they shove down our throats, the 2020 riots, being accused of racism and bigotry because we oppose their agenda.
As the election draws closer, they’ll pretend they didn’t do any of this.
They’ll gaslight us.
Project.
Blame the GOP (like they tried to when defunding the police went south).

DO NOT give them power.
They haven’t learned a damn thing from this.
You re-elect them, and you can expect masks and lockdowns and nonsense in perpetuity.
Not just for COVID, but for whatever else they deem a “public health emergency” (guns, climate change).
(Remember, they are the very same people who ignore a pubic health emergency aka AIDS.)
They will trample your rights.
VOTE THEM OUT.

NEVER FORGET.

REMEMBER…..in NOVEMBER!
