So the outgoing co-chair of the #MIGOP wrote a meandering diatribe warning the MAGA faithful of false prophets. She won’t name names, nor is she handing out endorsements for MIGOP chair. I thought I’d do some quick takes: 🧵
Her initial question is if a candidate has run a winning campaign… good question. By this metric all candidates are disqualified; but she keeps going. This must not be a true metric for her. She says there’s a 🐀 among the pack, but won’t name names. 🤔
Her next metric is competence. This should eliminate the entire pack, but again, she keeps expounding. She says the best candidate should be able to tap into an established donor base. That’s all well & good, but she was part of alienating that donor base. It really sounds like

If not for @elonmusk you would not know this.

#ThankGodForElon

The two men seen violently assaulting the Capitol on #January6th in the video above are but two of ONE HUNDRED TWENTY individuals at the forefront of the violence.

Yeah, we found more.

So?

There were THOUSANDS of people in and around the Capitol on #January6th.

What makes these guys so special?

What makes these 120+ #insurrectionist unique is that the FBI has chosen not to include their images among the others being sought on the #J6 "Most Wanted" list

This was the rear of the Macomb College Sports & Expo Center 10 mins before former President Trump began speaking. There appeared to still be ample standing room. Fire marshal said capacity was 6,600 #TrumpRally
There's also been a steady stream of attendees heading for the exits since about the 15-minute mark of this now hour-long and ongoing speech. Former President Trump said a few words about the #MIGOP candidates and launched into familiar grievances #TrumpRally
Trump did eventually return to the MI candidates, inviting #MIGOP Dixon, DePerno and Karamo back up to say a few words. Trump also again bashed Gov Whitmer over policing, environmental issues and more. #TrumpRally

I’ll be covering the #Trump rally in Warren MI today/tonight. Here are #MIGOP AG candidate Matt DePerno and state party Co-chair Meshawn Maddock chatting out front before things get started.
Here is a more animated shot. Also, Macomb County #GOP Chair (though that remains a matter of contention) Eric Castiglia in left foreground
Also, I selected a random gentleman to interview in line, and it turned out to be Mellissa Carone’s father. Here she is. Dad didn’t want to be quoted.

The host from the Detroit Regional Chamber kicks off the #MIGOP #Debate by thanking the candidates for taking time away from their busy schedule of grifting and griping.

The hosts of today's debate are @rickpluta and @RickAlbinWoodTV, both of whom I had conversations with at the Republican nominating convention in Grand Rapids a couple months ago. @DistillSocial was there too. 😇
Kevin Rinke, just made up total nonsense claim about "abortions" that happen 28 days ✨after✨ a baby is born.

This is illegal, and it is murder. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Already spotted at the @MIGOP nominating convention: Gubernatorial candidate Perry Johnson making the rounds. AG candidate Matt DePerno is also circling the room, as are SOS candidates Rep. Beau LaFave (R-Iron Mountain) and Chesterfield Township Clerk Cindy Berry.
A video for Johnson is trying to tie himself, DePerno and Karamo together as the "quality" ticket for Republicans.

Many I've spoken with today say the AG vote will go to a second ballot where the push will be for Tom Leonard to succeed. Karamo is believed to have SOS in the bag
SOS nominating speeches are being given now. Up first is a speech for Cindy Berry, who the speaker is saying that she will "wipe away the slime of George Soros" if given the chance. Berry is the only candidate out of the three to have any election administration experience.

THREAD: "Michigan Witches Against Patriarchy" rally in Lansing to call for an END to "abusive language" & "attacks on fem elected officials" (Gov Whitmer, AG Nessel & SOS Benson and others) by #MIGOP misogynists Shirkey & Weiser.

Statement @Eclectablog👉 eclectablog.com/2021/04/michig…
The #MiWAP #Lansing #Protest is about Republican MEN (recently @RonaldWeiser @MIGOP Chair & @SenMikeShirkey) & ON-GOING use of "Patriarchal Violence" & verbal assaults on women in leadership & #MILeg.

READ @BarbByrum's "Misogyny in Michigan" @Eclectablog👇
What's "Patriarchal Violence" (PV) and why is it dangerous to ALL Michiganders, not just women in politics? It's hate, oppression, and growing.

Trump’s false claims that he won the election that he lost were centered on six states - the five states which Biden flipped (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin) along with Nevada.

Let’s look deeper at the elections in these six states.
Arizona

Trump won Arizona in 2016 by 3.5 points, which was the slimmest margin that any Republican won the state by since 1996 (when Bill Clinton won the state).

Trump lost Arizona by 0.31 points in 2020.
When Trump came to office in 2017, Arizona had two Republican US Senators. Today, AZ has two Democratic US Senators.

In 2017, AZ was represented in the House of Representatives by 5 Republicans and 4 Democrats. Now it has 5 Democrats and 4 Republicans.
