GOP Sen. candidate Larry Hogan calls Trump's comments on Harris' mental abilities "outrageous"
Maryland GOP Senate candidate Larry Hogan on Sunday called Donald Trump’s recent comments questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’ mental ability “outrageous and unacceptable” in an appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
“That’s insulting not only to the vice president but to people who actually do have mental disabilities,” Hogan said. “I’ve said for years that Trump’s divisive rhetoric is something we can do without.”
At a campaign rally Saturday, Trump attacked his opponent while referencing her visit to the US-Mexico border, claiming she is “mentally disabled” because of how the Biden-Harris administration has been handling the border crisis.
Hogan has been an outspoken critic of Trump and previously made headlines after he rejected an endorsement from the former president. He has said that he will not endorse either presidential candidate, emphasizing a focus on “country over party” this election.
“We have a separate identity,” Hogan said Sunday. “I stand up to him, probably more than just about anyone, and I’ll continue to.”
Hogan, the former Republican governor in the otherwise deep blue state of Maryland, is running for the Senate against Democrat Angela Alsobrooks.
