Local TV Station Questions Democratic Mayor Whether His Priorities Are for the People Or Political Gain

Fox45’s Mikenzie Frost didn’t hold back when she confronted Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) over his handling of the National Guard deployment in Washington, D.C., since August 11. Pointing out that Moore has appeared on national TV nine times during this period, Frost bluntly asked whether the governor’s actions are truly serving the people of Maryland and Baltimore—or if he’s more focused on advancing his own political ambitions.

“Is what you’re doing really best for the people of Maryland and the people of Baltimore—or is it best for Wes Moore’s political career?” Frost challenged.

The pointed question underscores growing concerns that Moore is more interested in media appearances and political optics than tackling the real issues facing Maryland residents, including public safety and effective governance.

With the National Guard still deployed in D.C., Frost’s remarks suggest that Moore’s priorities may be misplaced, focusing on the national spotlight rather than the pressing needs of his constituents at home.

Moore has escalated confrontations with President Donald Trump over crime, federal intervention, and the future of Baltimore. He has publicly criticized Trump's threats to deploy federal troops to Baltimore, arguing that such actions are unconstitutional and politically motivated. Trump has labeled Baltimore as "out of control" and blamed Moore for alleged public safety failures.

the Rats desire and use federal forces to arrest law-abiding parents and citizens, whereas Trump is teasing the idea to arresting murderers and other Constitutionally defined outlaws

humorous the Rats are complaining

He wants to reply:

Trump really has his thumb on these Democrat governors and mayors. The unasked question on everybody’s mind is when are you going to prosecute and lock up black criminals. Right now the answer is never.

I respect his service greatly.
Other than that, Wes ‘Stolen Valor’ Moore is a lame skilamalink who can kick boulders barefoot.

He deftly changes the subject to tariffs and energy prices and says everything he does is for "them".

Who is "them", Yogi?

Surely that’s a rhetorical question.

Mikenzie Frost is pretty good. She’s based in Baltimore, but the DC sister station runs a lot of her reports. She’s not afraid to ask the hard questions, and she keeps asking if the interviewee tries to weasel out of a direct answer.
