Baltimoire, MD - Nov. 14, 2025 - Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is under fire after a video surfaced from Sunday's Commanders game, where the governor took a jab at President Donald Trump.
During the game, Moore recorded a video in the governor's suite, saying, "I just wanna remind people, welcome to Maryland and I'm proud to be the commander in chief of the Maryland National Guard."
This comment drew criticism from some, including Del. Ryan Nawrocki, who said, "He's been a failed leader of the National Guard. Under his leadership, we are now the only state in the country without an Air Guard unit."
Nawrocki accused Moore of losing the unit due to "silly fights with Donald Trump."
The controversy was further fueled by Russell Ellis, known as 'Jolly Good Ginger,' who was present at the game and has been an outspoken critic of Trump. Ellis, who identifies as Antifa, was part of a group of war veterans honored at the game.
Nawrocki questioned the governor's association with Ellis, saying, "I'm not sure how in any reality that's a good thing for the governor to be wrapping arm and arm with individuals from a known terrorist organization."
Moore has recently increased his criticism of the Trump administration, stating, "There is a chaos and it is an intentional chaos that we're seeing from this administration."Critics have now turned their attention to Moore's performance at the game, questioning his leadership and priorities.
