The only information I can find about this guy (Matthew Rosendale) is that he was born in Baltimore and he is a Republican member of the Montana legislature.

I said from hearing him. What do you HEAR?

Honestly it sounds like a cross between a Philly and Southern accent.
And that's exactly how a Baltimore accent sounds.

Not surprising.

Baltimore's pronunciation shares many characteristic pronunciations with its northern neighbor Philadelphia. One of these is the long o in words like home. Otherwise, as we might expect, Baltimore's speech shows a distinctly Southern character.

From just hearing him, I hear hints of Southern, Midwestern and...Scottish?

He's definitely got some southern twang. But strangely, it also sounds slightly British-esque. Listen to how he pronounces "bloated overreaching government growth" at the 0:23 mark.

To me that section was among the most Philly sounding.

Yuck. I can barely hear his accent through all the meaningless Republican rhetoric.

All joking aside, it sounds like an extremely thick Southern accent on certain words, and then a weird twist on an Amish/Mennonite/Hutterite accent. There are hordes of Mennonites and Hutterites in Montana, aren't there?

He sounds like he's from Maryland in the way he makes his "o" sounds.
