Cox calls FBI Mar-a-Lago search ‘police state tactics,’ while Hogan warns of divisions

Del. Dan Cox (R-Frederick), the GOP nominee for governor, joined the chorus of Republicans who condemned the FBI’s execution of a search warrant Monday at Mar-a-Lago, former President Trump’s Palm Beach, Fla., home. The reaction of the man Cox is hoping to replace, Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, was more nuanced. In a series of Facebook posts late Monday and Tuesday, Cox said “this FBI raid of Trump’s home is nothing short of communist stasi police state tactics.”
