[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This Hillary voter and moderate wants Hogan to stop deleting and banning folks from his FB and Twitter accounts if they politely ask whether he plans to take a stand on the Muslim ban. [/quote]

Agreed. The Baltimore Sun did an article yesterday about how Hogan was using taxpayer funded staff to delete polite public comments requesting the Governor's action on the ban.  Shameful.

[/quote]The Sun's Erin Cox reported on Sunday that as protesters gathered at BWI-Thurgood Marshall International Airport to protest President Trump's order the week before, Mr. Hogan's Facebook page (to be clear: not a campaign page or Change Maryland page but the one he links to from the official website of the governor's office) was deluged with comments urging him to publicly join the opposition. Staff members in the governor's office (again, not campaign workers but public employees paid by tax dollars) deemed the comments as spam and deleted them. Moreover, people who sent the comments found themselves banned from further posting on the governor's page.[/quote][/quote]

I am disappointed he choose to go this route. Its unnecessary. Its also telling.

Despite Trump's and his admin's rhetoric, the actual Order is not a 'Muslim ban'. It falls way short of that. Given this, I would expect a moderate to say that they agree with that the President should evaluate current immigration and vetting rules to ensure refugees and other foreigners coming here are adequately vetted; that he agrees with a temporary ban on certain immigration in order to accomplish this, BUT that he does not agree with banning people from coming to this country strictly based on ethnicity, religion, etc, and does not agree with banning legal citizens. But instead he choose the avoidance route, which says to me that he is comfortable with Trump's rhetoric and with everything that happened.

Lost my vote.[/quote]
