Speaking this weekend with Andrew Langer on WBAL News Radio 1090 AM/101.5 FM, Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md.-1st, said President Donald Trump’s historic second impeachment was “the wrong way to go.”
WBAL also reported that Harris — who pledged to only serve for six terms in Congress and who introduced a term-limits resolution in 2013 — said he will run for a seventh term representing Maryland’s First Congressional District in Congress.
Harris compared it to someone in the military deciding to extend their service.
“… (A)t this point in time, I’m re-upping for this fight,” Harris said.
Steve Klingelhofer says
The man is dangerous. Where are the “socialists” he fears?
Joseph Fick says
Biden, Harris, Sanders, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, Newsome, Cuomo, The Squad, too many others to list here.
Not to mention Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple, NYT, Wash Post, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and on……
These are the dangerous ones.
Deirdre LaMotte says
And yet this man takes PAC money from corporate America. Something Wayne never did.
Now who is the “owned” one?
Michael McDowell says
Your moral equivalence trope is unconvincing. The Democrats may far from perfect but compared to Trump, his cabinet of grifters, and the refusal of well over 100 GOP House Members, plus a minority of the Senate GOP not to recognise the election was fair and decisive is shameful, as even lickspittle AG Barr and the FBI head etc have said. That is evidence of a massive moral deficit on the Republican side of the aisle. Don’t play the both sides have good and bad people equally. The Charlottesville “defense” is rightly risible.
Carol Droge says
Not surprised that he’s reneging on his pledge. It’s time for him to go.
Virginia Davis says
Andy Harris is a danger to society and if anything, should be removed from his post rather than run for another against his promise regarding term limits. What a faker (in the words of RBG).
Carol Casey says
Ha! Some surprise.
Michael McDowell says
Harris, we know, lies about many things. He lies about the Republican Party covering pre-existing medical conditions in any “plans” they have. But this one truly is the Big Lie. Harris pledged to term-limit himself to six terms when first elected and he is in his 6th term. He wrote a Bill in the House of Representatives in 2013 supporting….yes…..term limits! He is a staggering hypocrite and coward and now, no surprise, has the arrogance to say he will run again in 2022. He offers an excuse as a “veteran” to re-up. But his vet days were never in combat. What a cheek to suggest that as a reason. He has no legislative record to boast of (and that was also true when he was previoulsy a do nothing rabble rouser in the senate in Annapolis) no committee chairmanships or ranking memberships of committees to boast of. This radical extremist advocate of the “private” sector has been at the public trough for 20 years. Last week his bizarre Tweet that rather than vote in the House debate he chose to “attend to patients” in the operating room, is outrageous. He is paid by the taxpayer to vote and not to earn outside money putting people to sleep! Harris is a do-nothing deaf-ears rep. and he needs to be shamed into retiring. Harris is the shame of Maryland politics.
Tontarski says
All great points, I won’t be redundant. At least he could follow through with his announcing way back when not to run for a 7th term.
Earl Runde says
Thank you Michael. Well said. What we need is a candidate who can run against Harris and defeat him.
Paula Reeder says
Well said. Hypocrite Harris needs to go. Just what fight is he planning to re-up for? Putting Trump back in office!?!!? No question but that it’s way past time to pry that ineffectual lying little piggie from the trough!
Nancy Balliet says
Well and truly said, Michael. Harris lied about his commitment to run for only 6 terms. He was too busy to do his job and vote on the article of impeachment. Not even stand up enough to follow through on his own awful convictions. Those corporate donors are watching . . .
He believes that his opinion “trumps” the voices and votes of every 2020 voter in the states of Arizona and Pennsylvania. He was not elected in those states, to be sure.
Andy has no shame, I’m afraid; and, like the President, will never resign.
Let’s not re-elect do nothing Andy again.
Let’s get an actual representative in Congress.
Tontarski says
Please just give it up Harris. You’re running with a nasty crowd.
Karen O'Connor says
He needs to go. I would like to see a responsible person who lives in the real world representing me in Congress, not a rabble-rouser who was actually supportive of not masking earlier in the pandemic. Doctor? Hah!
Earl Runde says
Heather Mizur told the Spy recently that she would consider running to unseat Harris.
