Democrat Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has apologized for falsely labeling himself a Bronze Star recipient on a White House application in 2006. Though Wes Moore served in the Army Reserve between 1996 and 2014, deploying to Afghanistan between August 2005 and March 2006, winning the National Defense Service Medal, he stated on his 2006 application for a White House fellowship that won a Bronze Star. He never received such an award. According to documents obtained by the New York Times, Moore said on his application, “For my work, the 82nd Airborne Division have awarded me the Bronze Star Medal and...

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) gave credit to Vice President Kamala Harris for getting help to Baltimore after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed during his speech at the Democratic National Convention. Moore, who entered gubernatorial office last year, gave Harris the shout-out after reflecting on the tragic cargo ship crash that led to the destruction of the bridge and the deaths of six maintenance workers. “A port that drives 13 percent of our state’s economy was now closed. Thousands of workers were hours away from waking up and realizing they no longer had a job,” Moore told the Wednesday...

Documentarian Michael Moore still fears Democrats could lose big time in November, despite the establishment left’s non-stop euphoria over Kamala Harris.

Liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that he believed former President Donald Trump had displayed “constant overt racism” throughout his life. Referencing Kamala Harris, Moore said, “It has been a long time coming and it has been a long time coming frankly for Donald Trump because now he’s going to not only meet his match, he’s going to have to face this whole thing that I watched today. Saying he didn’t know if she was black.”

Michael Moore has gone full Kamala — declaring “this country is female” and that white males will be “shown the door” come November. In a blog post published Monday titled “Now, We Crush Trump,” Michael Moore spelled out the steps he believes Kamala Harris needs to take in order to ensure electoral victory — namely, to lean heavily on identity politics and fully embrace the anti-Israel left, especially the enormous Muslim population in his native Michigan. Moore made no mention in his essay about Kamala Harris’ record as vice president or as a U.S. senator — her complete failure to...

Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that President Joe Biden deserved better treatment than public calls for him to leave the presidential race. Guest host Martha Raddatz said, “You had been a very strong supporter of Joe Biden staying in the race just a few days after that disastrous debate saying, he is not going to take himself out of the race nor should he. Did your concerns grow as the weeks went on?” Moore said, “I had private conversations with the president. And I’m a big believer that when you care about somebody, you tell...

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the next president of the United States, noting that the job of the president “is a Black job.” In a post on X, Moore posted a photo of himself standing next to Harris, writing that Trump was “about to find out” the job of the President of the United States was a black job. “Donald Trump is about to find out being the President of the United States is a Black job,” Moore wrote.

Director and activist Michael Moore argued Monday that it would be in the best interest of Vice President Harris’s campaign for President Biden to resign, leaving her the Oval Office. Biden ended his reelection campaign on Sunday, with many Democrats quickly coalescing around Harris as a favorite to take over the party’s nomination for president. “Kamala Harris will be in a much stronger position to win if she can run as the President of the United States. As the incumbent President,” Moore wrote. “This will give the country a chance to see her in action — as the most powerful...

Michael Moore is blasting President Biden’s allies, accusing them of “elder abuse” for “pushing” the commander in chief to stay in the race against former President Trump. “The problem here is that I think there’s a form of elder abuse going on here, where the Democratic Party and the people that are part of the apparatus are pushing and pushing and pushing him to stay,” the “Fahrenheit 9/11” director told MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin in an interview Sunday. “In spite of my criticisms about Gaza with Biden, watching the debate a week ago was heartbreaking,” Moore said of the president’s performance...

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) reupped his support for President Biden’s reelection campaign Friday in the wake of Biden’s poor debate performance this week. “Not only do I know that he will be able to serve another 4 years … I’m excited about what we can actually get done as a state if I have a chance to continue partnering with the president for the next 4 years,” Moore said in an interview Friday evening with NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo.

Maryland Democratic Gov. Wes Moore tried to stamp out speculation Wednesday that he could take over for President Biden as the party’s presidential nominee if the incumbent is unable to continue his campaign. “I am full-throated in my support of President Biden,” Moore told “Fox and Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade, who had said that “people are floating your name as a possible President Biden replacement should the wheels come off come the August convention.” “When I was first inaugurated,” the governor went on, “we were 43rd in unemployment, now we have amongst the lowest unemployment rates in the entire country....

Larry Hogan (R) reached his term limit, announced that approximately 100,000 people would be impacted by the pardons, according to to the Washington Post. “I’m ecstatic that we have a real opportunity with what I’m signing to right a lot of historical wrongs,” he told the publication. “If you want to be able to create inclusive economic growth, it means...

Representative Gwen Moore (D-WI) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that former President Trump arriving in Milwaukee with his “34 felony counts” for the Republican National Convention next month would increase the city’s crime rate. When asked about reports that Trump said Milwaukee was a horrible city, Moore said, “Donald Trump is projecting on the city of Milwaukee horrible things that really pertain to his own character.

Host George Stephanopoulos said, “There’s a debate going on in circles about how to take on the former president, how central to make the fact that he is now a convicted felon. Where do you stand on that?”

Liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore said Monday on CNN’s “The Source” that the college protests were a danger to President Joe Biden being re-elected in November. Partial transcript as follows: KAITLAN COLLINS: There’s a CNN poll that showed today 81 percent of voters, who are under the age of 35 disapprove of how President Biden has been handling this war.

MOORE: Thank you for asking that question,...

Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that claiming the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge was due to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies was “foolishness.” Host Dana Bash said, “Some Republicans are trying to blame the bridge collapse on policies that encourage workplace diversity. A Utah state representative who is running for governor tweeted, quote, ‘This is what happens when you have governors who prioritize diversity over the well-being and security of citizens.’ Another Republican running for Congress in Florida posted ‘DEI did this.’ What’s your response?”

Two of the Democratic Party’s rising stars have been thrust into the national spotlight this week after the bridge collapse in Baltimore. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, 45, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, 42 — both of whom considered likely candidates for higher office in the future — face a key test with their handling of the aftermath of the disaster, which took six lives and will require a bridge reconstruction and port reopening. “It is a bright reflection of the talent we have within the Democratic Party and their ability to lead in times of crisis,” said Antjuan Seawright, a...

Former President Donald Trump is “smarter than” Democrats and the prospect of his return to the White House in 2024 is a “legitimate fear,” left-wing documentary director Michael Moore has warned. The 69-year-old Oscar winner made clear his fears during the latest episode of his Rumble podcast on Sunday. “We don’t want to say this out loud, but I’m going to say it, and the reason we need to be concerned is that Trump is smarter than us,” Moore said.
