Trump ally Laura Loomer advises sending 'cease-and-desist' to Larry Hogan to quit mooching

Trump-loving activist Laura Loomer called former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan who is running for the Senate a "jerk" for spurning former President Donald Trump's endorsement, despite raking in fundraising support off of the 45th president's name, image, and likeness.

"If you look at the NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) emails that are going out, Larry Hogan is actually raising money off of Donald Trump's image, name, and likeness," she said during an exchange with Americans for Limited Government's president Rick Manning.

"So if he's going to be jerk and reject Trump's endorsement and then also say 'I'm not going to support the GOP nominee!' — then maybe President Trump should send him a cease and desist so that he can't use his image, name, and likeness for his fundraising emails anymore."

The 45th president went maverick by pledging his support for Hogan to win his bid for Maryland's Senate seat.

"Former President Trump tells me he’s ENDORSING @GovLarryHogan for Senate, despite Hogan’s comments that people should 'respect the verdict' in the NY hush money trial," Fox News Congressional correspondent Aisha Hasnie wrote on X.

That prompted a DSCC (Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee) statement that read: "Donald Trump wants Republican Larry Hogan in the Senate."

“Governor Hogan has been clear he is not supporting Donald Trump just as he didn’t in 2016 and 2020,” according to a Hogan campaign response.

Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Angela Alsobrooks' campaign is seeing red.

The statement reads: "The stakes of this race could not get any higher. Just last week, Senate Republicans shot down access to contraception. Hours ago, Senate Republicans voted against protecting IVF. And just now, Donald Trump endorsed Larry Hogan so he can have a Republican majority."

The Maryland Democratic Party also pounced on Hogan's Trump backing.

"Donald Trump wants Larry Hogan because Trump knows Hogan would be the deciding vote to put Republicans in charge of the U.S. Senate. It could not be more clear what is at stake," according to its statement.

Hogan didn't make nice with the GOP after respecting the verdict by a New York City jury who unanimously found former President Donald Trump guilty of falsifying business records, making him a convicted felon while also being the presumptive Republican nominee.

"You just ended your campaign,” announced Chis LaCivita, a veteran Republican operative who serves as a senior campaign adviser to Trump and a Republican National Committee official slamming Hogan's run for the Senate. A recent fundraising email is already capitalizing off of Trump's surprise support for Hogan.

Trump and Hogan have butted heads before during the COVID pandemic and also over criticizing Baltimore and the late Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD).
