Republican candidates aren't hiding that they tried to overthrow our government on #Jan6.

#MIGOV candidate (and coup attendee) Ryan Kelley said it explicitly at tonight's #MIGOV debate: Yes, I was in DC on January 6th. Yes, the FBI did raid my house.

But it's not just Kelley. Every single candidate in the #MIGov GOP primary debate tonight said that they believe the Big Lie conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was fraudulent.

Here's #MIGov GOP candidate @GarrettForMI saying that the 2020 election was "stolen" and that "they" turned Michigan into California overnight:

And here's another #MIGov Republican candidate, @TudorDixon, just straight up rambling about election-related conspiracy theories that wouldn't be out of place on a Reddit forum.

Republican @KevinRinke, rounding out the pack of conspiracy theorists masquerading as #MIGov candidates, said "there's no question that there was fraud" in the 2020 election.

They are obsessed with lying to Michiganders in order to rig future elections in their favor.

Two days after Independence Day, Republicans in the #MIGov debate have made it crystal clear that they will put partisan politics above defending our Constitution.

What a pathetic choice by the Grand Old Party.
