Maryland Democrat Governor Wes Moore Gets BOOED During Baltimore Orioles Opening Day


It appears Baltimore Orioles fans are not fans of Democrat Governor Wes Moore.

On Thursday, during the Baltimore Orioles’ Opening Day game against the Minnesota Twins, Wes Moore was welcomed onto the field to announce new plans to enhance Camden Yards.

However, Moore was not well-received by Marylanders and was immediately booed.

The Daily Caller reported more on Moore being booed by Orioles fans:

Democrats and sports just don’t mix.

The Baltimore Orioles faced off against the Minnesota Twins in not just their season opener Thursday, but also their home opener at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The O’s ended up winning that game, 2-1.

But that’s not what we’re here to discuss — instead, let’s put a big ol’ magnifying glass on what happened before the game. And that was Democratic Maryland Gov. Wes Moore getting blasted by boos.

Moore was at the game to unveil $135 million in newly completed stadium upgrades at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, with O’s ownership and other state officials by his side in celebration. In fact, they’re the biggest upgrades to the stadium since it was constructed in 1992. The initial phase of enhancements includes a massive new 4K center field video board, an overhauled sound system, a new Premium Club behind home plate and fully renovated club-level spaces.

But Orioles fans didn’t give a damn about any of that, because Moore got the boo-bird treatment in force.

Watch here:

Moore has received backlash in recent months over the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which has still not been built after nearly two years.

WBALTV provided the latest update on the bridge’s status:

Nearly two years after the Key Bridge collapse, engineers said Wednesday that the rebuild is about to move into its next stage.

Plans for the new span are around 70% completed, engineers said.

“It was just part of the landscape. And it was gone. And it was just a sinking feeling, sort of like finding out that a really good friend had passed,” said Laura Quintana, owner of Little Crystal Bijoux in Dundalk.

Quintana still remembers the morning the bridge came crashing down, and said her Dundalk family business — where she has sold handcrafted art for a decade now — has felt the impact ever since the collapse.

Her store’s sales were down as much as 40% at one point.

“When you don’t see me every day, even though I have a website, it’s updated regularly, out of sight, out of mind. And that has been the challenge,” Quintana said.
