The incident has prompted a police investigation. Alsobrooks, who is also the Prince George’s County Executive, and her competitor Larry Hogan have both responded to the unsettling act. Senator Ben Cardin condemned the behavior, calling it 'abhorrent' and emphasizing that campaigns should not involve racism, hatred, or threats of violence.
