ICYMI: 'Hundreds Protest Outside GOP Rep. Andy Harris’ Bel Air Office'

March 13, 2025

Hundreds of Marylanders gathered outside of Republican Rep. Andy Harris’ Bel Air office on Saturday to protest the House Freedom Caucus Chair’s failure to stand up to Donald Trump’s reckless agenda, Baltimore Fishbowl reports

The Trump Administration continues to lay off thousands of federal workers who live in Maryland. Tariffs are also expected to increase prices on goods moving through the Port of Baltimore, one of the largest ports on the east coast. Programs and services that Marylanders depend on – like Medicaid and SNAP – are also on the chopping block.

Baltimore Fishbowl: Hundreds Protest Outside GOP Rep. Andy Harris’ Bel Air Office on International Women’s Day

  • Hundreds of protesters lined the sidewalks outside Rep. Andy Harris’ (R-Maryland) Bel Air office on Saturday, International Women’s Day.

  • Harris, who is Maryland’s only Republican representative in Congress and was elected chair of the House Freedom Caucus in September 2024, is a strong supporter of President Donald Trump’s administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by billionaire Elon Musk.

  • “He has made it very clear in correspondence with all of us at this point, all of those of us who have called him and emailed him, that he has agreed with everything that Trump and Musk have come up with and plan to do, and that is not what we believe is best for Maryland.”

  • “There are a lot of Democrats in Harford County who think that there are no other Democrats in Harford County, even though we have 67,000 registered Democrats in the county,” Gibbons said. “And so, a part of this is really to sort of build that community like that, and show that we’re here and we’re a presence.”

  • While there was no organized counterprotest, a few people walked down the middle of the street impeding traffic, according to widely circulated video on social media. They shouted at the protesters, and two of them repeatedly made Nazi salutes, adopting the trend of extremists attempting to make the Nazi salute mainstream.
