Cornered by failure, Moore’s comments have now put Maryland squarely in the spotlight. As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this Crime disaster before I go there for a “walk.” Wes Moore’s record on crime is a very bad one, unless he fudges his figures on crime like many of the other “Blue States” are doing.

Newsom Prepares To Violate State Constitution To Save ‘Democracy’ In Redistricting Battle
