Baltimore NAACP leader says Stephanie Rawlings-Blake told him he wasn't allowed to host Republicans - Washington Times
- The Washington Times - Friday, July 10, 2015
Hassan Giordano,
a leader of a Baltimore branch of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), said he was told that hosting
Republican outreach in his office is off limits.
Mr. Giordano, who calls himself “not the average conservative” because of his Muslim faith and criminal record, told The Daily Caller of irate phone calls he received for trying to work with Republicans.
“When
National found out that I was bringing the governor [Larry Hogan, a
Republican], the lieutenant governor [Boyd Rutherford, a Republican],
and Dr. [Alveda] King to Baltimore and the Sandtown NAACP office, they
literally called and said, ‘There’s no way in the world they can come
into our office,’ ” Mr. Giordano
told The Daily Caller on Friday. “Then the Mayor [Democrat, Stephanie
Rawlings-Blake] — who kind of gave the us the NAACP office in
Sandtown — called and said, ‘No, you’re not allowed. And then, the
president [of the Baltimore NAACP branch, Tessa Hill-Aston] called me and she said, ‘You know they’re having a fit because you’re bringing in too many Republicans.’ “
