Lara Trump Failed the Hogan Test

The Republican Party is turning away from candidates who support the
rule of law.

In this era of political correctness and cancel culture, it's amazing
what you just can't say anymore. Like, for example, that the rule of
law is good and worthy of respect.

That's what the Republican U.S. Senate candidate Larry Hogan is
finding out. Last week, minutes before a jury announced that it had
found former President Donald Trump guilty of 34 felonies, Hogan, who
is running in Maryland, posted on X: "Regardless of the result, I urge
all Americans to respect the verdict and the legal process. At this
dangerously divided moment in our history, all leaders--regardless of
party--must not pour fuel on the fire with more toxic partisanship. We
must reaffirm what has made this nation great: the rule of law."

This is extremely mild stuff. Once upon a time, respecting the rule of
law was not controversial. Not anymore. Chris LaCivita, a Trump aide
who is also a top Republican National Committee official, replied,
"You just ended your campaign." And on CNN's State of the Union on
Sunday, the RNC co-chair (and Trump daughter-in-law) Lara Trump
refused to say whether the RNC would support Hogan's campaign but
attacked the anodyne statement furiously.
