White Maryland legislator refers to majority-black county as n***** district: 'Everyone has used the n-word'
House Speaker Michael Busch on Tuesday announced that he has removed Del. Mary Ann Lisanti as chair of a subcommittee
A white lawmaker from Maryland was reportedly removed from her leadership position after being accused of using a racial slur while referring to a county as a "n***** district". Delegate Mary Ann Lisanti allegedly used the slur to describe Prince George's County while talking to a white colleague who campaigned in the district. Reports state that she made the comment during an after-hours gathering at an Annapolis cigar bar in front of a racially mixed group of colleagues.
