Rep. David Trone (D-MD) is having a rough time lately, and the conservatives are loving it! This three-term Democratic congressman thought he had the Senate seat nomination all wrapped up, but then he tripped over his own words and dropped a racial slur during a House hearing.
Oops: Dem Contender in Maryland Senate Race Finds Out After Uttering Racial Slur at Biden Admin Officialhttps://t.co/Ya111UR70t

Trone, who was aiming for Sen. Ben Cardin’s spot, was cruising in the polls until he tried to take a swing at the Republicans and ended up humiliating himself instead. Using the offensive term “jigaboo” in a conversation with a black administration official, Trone claimed it was all a big misunderstanding.
But the damage was done, and Trone started backpedaling faster than a squirrel on roller skates. He apologized, citing ignorance about the word’s origin. Nice try, buddy. Then, he pulled out the big guns – his “white privilege” card. Well, well, well, look who’s playing the victim now!
The woke activists weren’t having any of it, though. They shook their heads at his feeble excuses. Even his fellow Democrats turned on him, with Rep. Jamie Raskin and members of the Congressional Black Caucus ditching him for his primary opponent, Angela Alsobrooks.
With endorsements slipping through his fingers like sand in a sieve, Trone’s Senate dreams are starting to look more like a nightmare. The Maryland Senate primary is just around the corner, and the conservatives are on the edge of their seats, popcorn in hand, waiting to see how this messy drama unfolds.
Larry Hogan, the GOP favorite, must be grinning ear to ear as Trone’s ship seems to be sinking faster than the Titanic. Lesson learned, folks – think before you speak, especially if you’re aiming for the big leagues in politics!
