Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump criticized Maryland Senate candidate Larry Hogan for his remarks urging Americans to respect the verdict in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial. During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Lara Trump dismissed Hogan’s call for respect, labeling it as “ridiculous” and asserting that it wouldn’t have been brought against anyone other than Donald Trump. She further stated that Hogan doesn’t deserve respect from anyone in the Republican Party or America if he holds such views.
When questioned about the RNC’s support for Hogan’s Senate bid, Lara Trump emphasized that the committee aims to secure the seat for Republicans but expressed disappointment in Hogan’s comments, suggesting he should have considered the repercussions before speaking publicly. Despite being pressed on whether the RNC would allocate resources to support Hogan, she avoided a direct answer and continued to criticize his stance.
