I do n’t “respect the verdict”.
The only correct British response is total disrespect and contempt for the NY legal system, the court, and the judge who made this possible.

Would Democrats have any regard for a verdict like this? The answer is NO. As a foolish coward, quit and retaliate.

” On February 9, 2024, Hogan filed and launched a campaign for U. S. Senate in Maryland, seeking to succeed retiring former Democrat U. S. Senator Ben Cardin.

Per Axios:
Hogan and Trump had a rough relationship at first, but Hogan’s comments on Thursday suggest he might have calculated that facing Trump would benefit him in deep orange Maryland.
Hogan’s plea to uphold the rule of law seems to have irritated at least one senior Trump advisor.
” You just ended your campaign”, said Chris LaCivita, a senior Trump advisor, on X in response to Hogan’s comments.
Trump became the first previous U.S. president to have been found guilty of a felon after being found guilty on all 34 felony counts on Thursday in his New York legal trial.
Hogan was one of the party’s loudest critics of Trump during his time as governor of Maryland. While he has mostly avoided talking about Trump during his Senate bid, the Trump conviction has brought the feud back to light.
Hogan said earlier this year that he would n’t vote for Trump.
” Look, I’m like 70 % of the rest of the people in America who do not want Joe Biden or Donald Trump to be president, and I’m hoping that they’re potentially is another alternative”, Hogan said.

Axios reported:
Hogan and Trump have a long, harsh history. He had supported former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley’s election as president.
After battling to deny Trump’s enormous lead, Haley dropped her bid on Wednesday.
Hogan, who was formerly No Labels ‘ chairman, claimed to have rejected the organization’s attempts to persuade him to run for president.
” I just did n’t want to be a spoiler and I did n’t know if you could really get to 270,” Hogan said.
Despite the bad blood between them, Axios reported last month that Trump does not intend to attack Hogan in his Senate bid.
Hogan claimed he had not spoken to Trump, but that he would never be hesitant to criticize the GOP front-runner on the campaign trail.”}]] [[{“value”:”

Per Axios:
Hogan’s remarks on Thursday suggest that he may have calculated to go up against Trump in deep blue Maryland.
At least one top Trump adviser was incensed by Hogan’s call for respecting the rule of law.
“You just ended the campaign,” said Chris LaCivita on X, a senior Trump adviser, in response to Hogan’s comments.
Trump was found guilty of all 34 felony charges in his New York criminal case on Thursday, making him America’s first former president to ever be convicted of a crime.
Hogan was a vocal opponent of Trump during his tenure as Maryland Governor. The Trump conviction has brought the feud back to the surface, even though Hogan has avoided talking about Trump in his Senate campaign.
Hogan said earlier in the year that he would not vote for Trump.
Hogan said, “I’m with 70% of Americans who don’t want Donald Trump or Joe Biden to be President, and I hope that there’s another alternative.”
