Democratic lawmaker censured by Maryland House of Delegates after racial slur
The Maryland House of Delegates unanimously voted to censure Democratic member Mary Ann Lisanti on Thursday over her use of a racial slur to describe a predominantly black county in suburban Washington D.C.
“This racist and hateful term has no place in anyone’s vocabulary, particularly an elected representative of the state of Maryland, serving on behalf of all of our constituents,” the resolution read. “My hope is that with the censure, she will look herself in the mirror and realize she must resign,” Barnes said, according to The Baltimore Sun. “She cannot be effective at all.”
