MD-06: On the morning after their fiery forum, Dist. 6 candidates exchange more vitriol

A day after the Fracas in Frederick — or the Commotion on the Campus, or the Hostility at Hood — the candidates in Maryland’s 6th Congressional District exchanged more vitriol Monday, with each accusing the other of perpetrating the nastiness.

On Sunday, a candidate forum at Hood College in Frederick with former state Del. Neil C. Parrott (R) and former U.S. Commerce Department official April McClain Delaney (D) devolved into an angry shouting match in the final minutes, as Parrott accused her of lying about his record in her campaign ads and literature and she tried to fight back.

On Monday, both campaigns issued statements with choice words for their opposition. Both news releases were accompanied by grainy photographs of the candidates pointing fingers at one another, and Delaney’s included a picture of Parrott storming off the stage.

Parrott’s post-forum statement, which was delivered early Monday morning, was headlined “Parrott Wins Forum with Pragmatic Solutions as an Unhinged Delaney Explodes Physically Losing Composure.”
