Michigan Sen. Lana Theis joins the growing conservative trend of baselessly accusing political opponents of being pedophiles/groomers. #MILeg
Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who was mentioned by name in Sen. Lana Theis' fundraising email, points out that campaign rhetoric can have real world consequences.
Sen. Lana Theis' fundraising email accusing Sen. Mallory McMorrow of grooming seems to be backfiring.

McMorrow's response on the Senate floor now has 3.5 million views and counting, with fundraising links in the replies, after Hillary Clinton shared a video of the speech. #MILeg
Sen. Mallory McMorrow's response is now up to 5.5 million views and counting in under 12 hours.

While nobody wants to have to give one, speeches like this can be huge moments in legislators' careers. A Senate speech put Whitmer on the national map before she was governor. #MILeg
