.@MIGOP chairman @RonaldWeiser repeatedly referred to @GovWhitmer, AG @dananessel & Secretary of State @JocelynBenson as "the three witches" and made a "burning at the stake" remark in front of a Oakland Co. Republican crowd last night.
Weiser also acknowledges in the video that he skipped the University of Michigan Board of Regents meeting yesterday afternoon to go recruit a Republican candidate to run for the Michigan State University Board of Trustees.
After @RonaldWeiser said @MIGOP's "job is to soften up those three witches and make sure that we have good candidates to run against them, that they are ready for the burning at the stake," he literally added, “And maybe the press heard that too.”

"Just one thing...," @SenMikeShirkey says in a hot mic moment before telling @LtGovGilchrist he won't back down about "any of the points I was trying to make" about @GovWhitmer.
“So I read ... that the Republican majority leader in the state of Michigan went before a group of loyalists … and said, ‘What we think we saw on Jan. 6 is not the case. These were not Trump supporters. This was a hoax. It was all pre-arranged.’”
JUST IN: @SenMikeShirkey is apologizing for comments he made in a videotaped meeting with Hillsdale County Republicans. His statement doesn't say what exactly he's apologizing for.
He's on tape saying he contemplating challenging @GovWhitmer "to a fistfight on the Capitol lawn."
UP NEXT: Michigan Attorney General @dananessel and her Flint water investigation team led by Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy are holding a press conference on today's charges against ex-Gov. Rick Snyder and his former top aides.
