In a trip to New Hampshire this week, Governor Hogan urged both parties to focus on finding common sense solutions to issues like inflation, crime, and education, instead of more divisive rhetoric and “relitigating the past.” This Summer, An America United has released plans of action to confront the inflation and crime crises facing Americans. Here’s what they’re saying about Governor Hogan’s trip: Fox News: “Hogan emphasized that ‘Joe Biden ran saying he was going to try to bring the country together and that we needed to lower some of the kind of divisive angry rhetoric and yet this is pretty divisive, angry rhetoric and name calling and a little bit over the top and so I think it’s a mistake.”
WMUR: “During a visit to New Hampshire on Tuesday, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Republicans can sweep this year’s midterm elections if they stay focused on the right issues…’I think it’s really important for us to focus on the things that people really care about,’ Hogan said. ‘The Democrats are in control of everything in Washington. The economy’s a mess. Inflation is out of control. People are concerned about crime and education, and I think that’s what Republicans ought to be focused on, as opposed to relitigating the past. We’ve got to look to the future and talk about that we have better ideas.’” |
Governor Hogan is continuing to hold President Biden accountable for abandoning his campaign promise to work towards bringing the country together. After President Biden was elected, Governor Hogan warned the President-elect that though “placating the far-left base of the party may have been an effective campaign strategy, but it is not a viable approach to governing. Joe Biden now must choose whether he wants to be a unifier or a progressive activist.” Nearly two years later, it’s clear the path that President Biden has chosen, governing from the left and delivering a speech to attack Trump supporters as “semi-facists.” According to Governor Hogan, “this angry and divisive rhetoric may be good politics for his party but it’s not what he promised and it’s bad for the country…If President Biden is truly serious about threats to democracy, then he would condemn the tens of millions Democratic groups have spent promoting extremists threatening democracy.”
