Maryland GovLarryHogan will blame former President Donald Trump for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and urge Republicans to reject the former president in a speech viewed as a precursor to a 2024 White House bid.
“Jan. 6 was not enthusiastic tourists misbehaving. It was an outrageous attack on our democracy, incited by the losing candidate’s inflammatory, false rhetoric,” Hogan will say Tuesday evening at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Southern California, according to excerpts of the sharply worded address shared with the Washington Examiner. “Trump said we would be winning so much we’d … get tired of winning. Well, I’m tired of our party losing.
“The last four years were the worst four years for the Republican Party since the 1930s, even worse than after Watergate when Ronald Reagan had to rebuild the party from the ashes,” Hogan will say. “A party that lost the popular vote in seven out of the last eight presidential elections, and that couldn’t even beat [President] Joe Biden, is desperately in need of a course correction.”
Despite this dubious feat and the former president’s culpability in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, he remains the de facto leader of the GOP — at least in the eyes of the most committed Republican voters. And with the party poised for major gains in this year’s midterm elections, the stain of Trump’s previous losses could be washed away — again, at least as far as grassroots Republicans are concerned.
