Szeliga says now-deleted tweet was a ‘poorly executed text message’

A Republican lawmaker is apologizing for a Tweet that included an obscenity directed at the House speaker and Senate president. Baltimore County Republican Kathy Szeliga said the tweet was a “poorly executed text message” and was meant to be a private message to a close friend. The now-deleted tweet referred to House Speaker Adrienne Jones and Senate President Bill Ferguson as vulgarity in their response to the court decision that said the state’s congressional maps were unconstitutional.
