RNC co-chair Lara Trump blasts Maryland GOP Senate candidate Larry Hogan for urging the public to respect hush money verdict
Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump blasts Maryland Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan in response to his call for Americans to respect the verdict in the former President Donald Trump's hush money trial.
Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump on Sunday took aim at Maryland Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan in response to his call for Americans to respect the verdict in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
“Well, I’ll tell you one thing: I don’t support what he just said there,” Lara Trump said during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I think it’s ridiculous and I think anybody who’s not speaking up in the face of really something that should never again have seen the light of day at trial, that would never have been brought against any other person aside from Donald Trump, doesn’t deserve the respect of anyone.”
“He doesn’t deserve the respect of anyone in the Republican Party at this point,” she added. “And quite frankly, anybody in America if that’s the way you feel. That’s very upsetting to hear that.”
Asked whether the RNC is willing to cede the Senate seat in Maryland to Democrats and not support Hogan’s bid, Lara Trump said the committee wants the Republican Party to win, but that Hogan’s remarks are a “shame” and that “he should have thought long and hard before he said that publicly.”
Pressed again on whether the RNC will use the party’s resources to support Hogan’s Senate bid, Lara Trump dodged the question and again criticized Hogan’s comments.
