ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican weighing a 2024 White House bid, said Monday he believes former President Donald Trump is “at his lowest point ever,” as the House Jan. 6 committee wrapped up its investigation into what Hogan described as “one of the darkest days in American history.”
In an interview with The Associated Press shortly before the committee released its recommendations, Hogan said he believes the former president should be held accountable, after he “inflamed kind of a riotous mob to go attack the seat of our democracy.” However, the outgoing, term-limited governor was not specific about how Trump should be held accountable.
“I’m not a lawyer and don’t know what kind of legal accountability he should have, but I thought it was one of the darkest days in American history,” Hogan said, adding that the president bore some responsibility for what happened.
“The people that try to whitewash Jan. 6 as if nothing happened are delusional. It was an assault on democracy,” he said.
Later in the day, the House committee urged the Justice Department to bring criminal charges against Trump and his allies, wrapping up its investigation of the violent 2021 Capitol insurrection with what lawmakers called a “roadmap to justice.”
In the interview, Hogan said he did not know whether Trump would benefit politically from a criminal prosecution, though he said the FBI’s August raid of Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s resort home in Palm Beach, Florida, “got his supporters all fired up.”
“I think President Trump is at a low point in his career,” Hogan said. “I mean, I think he peaked in November of 2020, and, you know, it was slow to erode some of the base,

I heard somewhere that Hogan hasn’t switched to the Democrat Party because THEY don’t even want him.
No moron. Congress has one of the lowest approval ratings in history, and a far lower approval rating than President Trump.
The problem with "Never-Trumpers" is that they are malcontents who listen to the main stream media, and repeat what they hear. They aren't any brighter than their leftist clones.
Even on trump’s worse day.
I assume he is an assistant democrat?
Will this vain lump of lard never shut up?
Hogan is a CLOWN trying to get attention.
CLOWN.
“...President Donald Trump is “at his lowest point ever,”....”
No, Congress is at their lowest point ever. This is merely part of the overall conspiracy to ruin Trump and make him a non-player in American politics forever. It all tarted in 2016 and never slow-down.
Hogan is a CLOWN trying to get attention.
CLOWN.
I know of only one fat clown - John Wayne Gacy.
If he set out to make himself look like a clown, he succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. 🤪🤗😅
“”after he “inflamed kind of a riotous mob to go attack the seat of our democracy.”””
INFLAMED KIND OF? Everyone has a qualifier - why don’t they come right out and say what they mean in plain English?
In Just 2 Weeks:
Liz Cheney gone; Adam Kinzinger gone; Anthony Fauci gone; Nancy Pelosi gone as Speaker; Adam Schiff, Omar Ilhan and Eric Swalwell stripped of all committee affiliations; Republicans take control of House; investigations into Democrat corruption begins, focused on FBI and DOJ…and simultaneously, intense investigations into the Biden Crime Syndicate in consideration of 9 separate federal crimes. Hopefully impeachments for Biden, Garland and Mayorkas, soon follow.
GOOD TIMES AHEAD!
Merry Christmas – lawyer up, Dems!

Wish things would get hot so Larry could be sent to the gallows.

This statement confirms just how out of touch Hogan is with one of the bedrock freedoms guaranteed to every citizen in our constitutional Republic, namely the right to assemble to make known to their elected representatives their grievances. And that was exactly what a minimum of 95% of the protesters were doing around the Capitol on 1/6/21. But here’s the really shameful aspect of Mr. Hogan’s diatribe: HE KNOWS DAMN WELL THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, but like most politicians today he’s a disreputable liar.
He said one of. He didn’t say darkest of all times. Go back and reread it.

Oh, okay, that makes and enormous difference! /s
Or maybe they just like to whistle Dixie.

I’ve always liked that song!
You really want republican party to shrink so bad, it becomes irrelevant?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
It’s already irrelevant! I’d be happy if it shrank so bad it disappeared completely and permanently. And I’ve been a registered Republican since I voted for Barry Goldwater.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan: Trump ‘at his lowest point ever’, can still beat me for president.
there, finished it.
