An official complaint has been forwarded to Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson regarding misconduct claims against Democrat Pam Beidle. occurred
The complaint alleges that Beidle engaged in numerous infractions to include threats, harassment, retaliation, verbal abuse, and intimidation of fellow elected officials and citizens many of whom are Black. A source familiar with the complaint says the allegations against Beidle are very serious and that her conduct would not be tolerated in any workplace. "Pam would be fired if this occured at a Google or any workplace. It is abusive and is a textbook example of misconduct. It's exactly the kind of stuff that we are seeing people being fired for everyday in the media."
Another source added that some of the allegations focus on Beidle's "troubling" conduct with Delegate Mike Rogers. "People in places like Russett and Severn are going to be shocked to learn about all of the underhanded bullshit that Pam has been doing to Colonel Rogers. She's been trying to get Mike kicked out of the General Assembly! The videos are just the tip of the iceberg with Pam. This might be more of a federal investigation or even Attorney General investigation about Pam."
The complaint emerged after newly released videoes surfaced of Beidle calling police on a Black voter during last year's election. In the video, Beidle told police that she was in fear of her life which is disputed by witnesses in the video. Beidle in fact confesses to police in the video that she never spoke with the man. Witnesses both Black and White blame Russett Democrat Julie Hummer for instigating the fracas and blamed Beidle for trading on racial tropes about Black men. "Pam perpetrated one of the worst crimes and clearly tried to set this guy up by insinuating with police that this guy was dangerous. There is an email thread going around which calls Pam's behavior "Emmitt Till'ish" because her conduct suggests, and Hummer's, that Black men are somehow inherently dangerous and violent. Pam even used that word if you listen closely. Every mother with a Black son watching these videos right now have to be disgusted with Pam and Hummer." Beidle has asked police to keep her 911 call to them secret.
The complaint asks Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson to share the Maryland General Assembly's process for investigating the allegations against Beidle. According to local reports, the General Assembly launched an investigation of misconduct against Republican Senator Ed Reilly last year after similar allegations surfaced about retaliation from a constituent. Ferguson has yet to respond to the Beidle allegations per numerous sources inside the Maryland General Assembly.
Beidle currently represents significant swaths of Anne Arundel County with large Black populations including the Russett Metroplex. Sources added that "the backlash against Beidle has been brewing for a while and that Black people are going to be very angry, and rightly so, as more of this stuff comes out."
An online petition at www.investigatepambeidle.com asking Beidle to resign has garnered nearly 8,000 page visits.
