Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan derided Florida's Parental Rights in Education bill as"absurd" Sunday, saying it would not have been passed in his state. "I didn't really actually see the details of the legislation, but the whole thing seems like a crazy fight," Hogan said."And now he wants to criticize Disney for expressing how they feel about that bill. I mean, they have every right to. We have a thing called freedom of speech. They can come out and say what they think."
Hogan made the statement during an appearance on CNN on Sunday, moments after claiming he wasn't familiar with the details of the legislation. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law in March, banning schools from instructing students about gender identity or sexual orientation between kindergarten and third grade.
CNN host Dana Bash asked Hogan to respond to DeSantis' ongoing conflict with Disney regarding the bill. Disney released a statement last week condemning the legislation, and"I think the bill was kind of absurd and not something that would've happened in our state," Hogan finished.
