Michigan Trump supporters do the “MAGA dance” at a parking lot rally in Walker. Three Republican hopefuls for congress and one running for governor here.

Patrick Colbeck, one of the loudest proponents of voter fraud claims, calls the 2020 election a “coup.” He later suggested there’s still time for judges to overturn the result.

Colbeck, a former state senator, endorses documentaries made by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and says he’s coming to Michigan next month.
