Republican gubernatorial nominee Dan Cox pulls out of ‘Unite the Right’ event sharing same name as anti-Semitic Charlottesville rally

Republican gubernatorial nominee Dan Cox on Monday canceled an upcoming appearance and denounced a Republican event called “Unite the Right” — the same name as the white supremacist rally that turned deadly in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. The election season event in Anne Arundel County was organized by former Baltimore congressional candidate Kim Klacik, whose political action committee also stands to benefit from funds raised at the rally, according to an invitation online.
