Hogan Censors Facebook Users

Hogan and his team were recently caught deleting comments and banning critics on his official Facebook. More than 450 people have been blocked from Hogan’s page over the past two years. One caller on the Kojo Nnamdi show is quoted as stating, "“I was cordial. I was friendly … I was blocked after asking the question about where does Maryland stand with the Muslim ban. The next day my comment was gone and I could no longer comment.” Gov Hogan owes Marylanders answers, including whether public taxpayer dollars and resources were used to silence their voices and whether first amendment rights were violated.

Hogan called removal of confederate monuments political correctness "run amok".

Hogan stated that additional efforts to remove controversial Confederate symbols in Maryland was "political correctness run amok." A national debate over Confederate flags, statues and symbols erupted in 2015 after the shooting death of nine people in a historically black church in Charleston, SC. The racist shooter and his white supremacist views prompted calls for state and local governments to stop using the flag and to remove Confederate symbols from government properties. In Maryland, MoveOn.org launched a petition asking the state of Maryland to remove a statue of former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney outside the Annapolis statehouse. Taney wrote the majority opinion in the Supreme Court’s 1857 Dred Scott decision, which upheld slavery and said blacks born in the United States could not be U.S. citizens. Hogan stated that he would not support the removing of the Taney statue. Hogan, completely incapable of understanding that the issue surrounds the Civil War and these men's position on that war stated “George Washington was a slave owner,” Hogan said. “Should we remove him from the statehouse?” Hogan is completely unaware that George Washington passed away a good sixty years before the Civil War began.
