Md. governor hopeful Dan Cox says he would use state police against Biden

Source: Washington Post

Maryland Republican gubernatorial nominee Dan Cox on Tuesday called the FBI search of former president Donald Trump’s residence “criminal” and said if elected he would use the full force of government — including the state police and Maryland National Guard — to oppose President Biden.

“As governor I will use the 9th and 10th Amendments, the Maryland Constitution and Declaration of Rights, the MSP and Maryland Guard to stand against all rogue actions of this out of control tyrannical Biden administration with fierce tenacity,” Cox (R-Frederick) said in a fundraising email to supporters, describing the government’s actions as “nothing short of communist stasi police state tactics.” “Our children, families and loved ones and the freedom we cherish and is our birthright as Americans demand we oppose these criminal acts of this current administration.”

Cox, who was endorsed by Trump, won the Republican gubernatorial primary last month against Kelly Schulz, a protege of term-limited Gov. Larry Hogan (R), in what was viewed as a proxy war between Trump’s and Hogan’s divergent views for the Republican Party’s future.

Cox, an attorney and one-term state delegate, vigorously fought against Biden’s 2020 victory. The day of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Cox called then-Vice President Mike Pence “a traitor” on social media but later apologized for his choice of words.

and that's putting it mildly. Maryland voters are pretty moderate overall. I'd give the Dem candidate a good shot at beating this RWNJ

... the Trump appointed director of the FBI, the US A.G., and a Trump appointed Fed. judge. These
people live in fantasy lands of made up crap. I blame Reagan for getting rid of the "Fairness Doctrine,"
the rise of Christo Fascism, and massive disinformation on the web.

but it definitely helps.

Yeah, if I lived in Maryland, that's what I would want my governor to do and spend my tax dollars on.

Needs to remove all weaponry, communications, and transport equipment from the Maryland armories. If they want to challenge the federal government they can do it on foot and with smoke signals, sticks and stones.
