Moore, Cox Face off Over Credibility in Maryland Debate.

Democrat Wes Moore has described Republican Dan Cox as “dangerous” for denying the results of the 2020 presidential election during a debate in Maryland’s governor’s race.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Democrat Wes Moore described Republican Dan Cox as “dangerous” for denying the results of the 2020 presidential election during a debate Wednesday in Maryland's governor's race, while Cox said Moore was a “phony" in an hourlong showdown that included frequent attacks on credibility.

In their first — and likely only — televised debate, Cox was asked by a panelist whether he would accept the outcome of next month's election, noting that he had attended the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. Cox said he has “always accepted election results that are fair” but stopped short of saying he would definitely accept next month's outcome.

“At this point, it would be similar to saying that before a surgery takes place to decide whether or not the surgery went well," Cox said.

Moore said he will honor the results of the election in a state that has free, fair and transparent elections, and he criticized Cox for denying the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.'>>>

((Anyone see the debate? I saw last 5 minutes, not sure whether Moore actually responded to questions asked, but may have done so earlier.))
