Former Michigan Republican Party Chairwoman Kristina Karamo was removed from the state’s GOP convention. The convention took place at the Dart Financial Center in Flint, Michigan, where Karamo was escorted out by security and local police.
Karamo said she wanted to show support for Alexandria Taylor, who failed to win the Republican nomination for the Michigan Supreme Court. However, current party officials stated that she was not a registered delegate and had police escort her out.
“I’m here on behalf of Alexandria Taylor, and this is why the Michigan Republican Party is failing as an organization currently,” the ex-gop chairwoman declared while being escorted out. “We have corrupt people. Instead of trying to unify and focus on winning the election, they’re kicking out their political enemies from the convention [that] I have a right to be at.”

Former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers (R), the leading candidate for the Michigan Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate, was revealed to be a registered voter in Florida.
Rogers represented Michigan’s eighth congressional district from 2001 to 2015. As a native of the state, he hopes to once again represent Michigan in Congress.
“I’m proud to be born and raised right here in Michigan,” he wrote in an X post. “And I will be proud to serve my home in the U.S. Senate.”
The tweet caused Austin Cook, the communications director for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate and Rogers’ rival, Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Michigan), to post a screenshot of the former representative’s voter registration record.
The record shows a Florida Zip code and that he has “active” voter status in Cape Coral, Florida.
It also shows that he registered to vote in Florida on January 24, 2022.

Michigan Republican Party is officially at war with itself.
State Chairwoman Kristina Karamo, an ally of former President Donald Trump and fierce election denier, is the focus of the controversy leading the party to split into two competing groups.
On January 6, a group of renegade state Republicans voted to replace the controversial Karamo. The decision to remove Karamo as chair occurred in a closed-door meeting on January 6 and in Oakland County, Michigan.
“We have made history today,” Bree Moeggenberg, a Michigan GOP state committee member said in a statement. “With over 88% of the members that were present and voting, we have taken the first step to engage and protect the various voices and liberties of all Republicans … we have voted to remove Kristina Karamo as the Chair of the Michigan Republican Party.”
Karamo responded, “Their performance has no legal standing, I am still chair of the Michigan Republican Party.”

Michigan Republicans have been at odds about the direction of the state party, and the situation resulted in alleged physical violence Saturday night at a state committee meeting, The Detroit News reported.
James Chapman, a Republican from Wayne County, told the paper he traveled to the city of Clare to join the party meeting at the Doherty Hotel. But the meeting was reserved for members of the state committee. So Chapman said that he and others gathered outside the meeting location and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. He also said...

National Harbor, MD. — To attend the Conservative Political Action Conference is to find oneself on the front lines of the war against woke.
During her speech on Friday, 2024 hopeful Nikki Haley deemed “wokeness” a “virus more dangerous than any pandemic.” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) argued Americans ought not to be governed by “deeply weird, nauseously woke people who hate George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Seuss, and Mr. Potato Head.” Ron DeSantis, grand poobah of the anti-woke, wasn’t there, but Moms for Liberty, the DeSantis-championing “parents’ rights” group, was, its...

If Donald Trump wants to repeat his infamous phone call asking a secretary of state to “find” more votes for him in 2024, he’s going to have fewer people taking his calls, thanks to the election returns on Tuesday night.
That’s because the election was a disaster for the America First Secretary of State Coalition (Afsosc) — a slate of candidates who ran for their state’s top election-administration post while denying the 2020 election and echoing Trump’s lies about mass voter fraud. Those promises proved unpopular with voters, as...

Last night, closing out the 2022 midterm election campaign at an Ohio rally with Senate candidate J.D. Vance, Donald Trump sounded confident of massive wins for the GOP.
“This is the year we’re going to take back the House, we’re going to take back the Senate, and take back America,” he predicted, “and in 2024, most importantly, we are going to take back our magnificent White House!”
Still, Trump spent the next day doing all he could to sow distrust in the nation’s election systems, priming Republicans to contest unfavorable results,...

Former president Donald Trump has endorsed some wacky candidates since leaving office, including Michigan’s Republican nominee for secretary of state, Kristina Karamo. In a podcast episode unearthed by CNN’s KFile, Karamo claimed that abortion is “child sacrifice” and a “satanic practice,” CNN revealed on Sunday.
Karamo expressed her absurd beliefs about abortion on her podcast, It’s Solid Food. “Abortion is really nothing new,” she said. “The child sacrifice is a very satanic practice, and that’s precisely what abortion is. And we need to see it as such.

John Oliver used the top of his HBO show on Sunday night to tear through the America First Secretary of State Coalition and its entire platform. The “Last Week Tonight” host got a particular kick out of the idea that Democrats are operating on a “satanic agenda” — or even have a plan at all.
The America First Secretary of State Coalition is a conservative coalition created to support a specific slate of candidates in secretary of state elections nationwide. That specific slate is largely made up of people who believe the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.
Among them is Kristina Karamo, who is running for secretary of state in Michigan, and who has made a slew of baseless claims about Democrats and the 2020 election. During one podcast appearance, she claimed that the Democratic party “has totally been taken over by a satanic agenda.”
“Ok, obviously, Democrats don’t have a satanic agenda.

If you’re a candidate that believes the Democrats stole the election in 2020, John Oliver has it out for you.
The Last Week Tonight host had a field day previewing some of the more interesting Republican secretary of state candidates across the country.
Though the state elections for secretary of state usually fly under the radar of national media – much less the attention of late night television – the position has come under new scrutiny due to its jurisdiction over the process of certifying votes, an issue of concern due to a large contingent of voters who believe that the recent presidential election was improperly counted.
Oliver cherrypicked three candidates, Nevada’s Jim Marchant, New Mexico’s Audrey Trujillo and Michigan’s Kristina Karamo, who all share a degree of the opinion that the 2020 election was improperly handled. The British-American host claimed though these candidates might look like outliers, they represent...

John Oliver offered his take on the information coming out of the Jan. 6 House Committee hearings on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight.
He started off by noting how John Eastman, a lawyer advising then-President Donald Trump during the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, who had pushed the idea that then-Vice President Mike Pence could overturn the results of the November 2020 election.
Oliver showed a clip of former White House lawyer Eric Herschmann recalling his reaction to the idea.
“I said, ‘Hold on a second. I want to understand what you’re saying. You’re saying that you believe that the vice president, acting as president of the Senate, can be the sole decision maker as to…who becomes the next president of the United States?'” Herschmann recalled. “And he said yes.

For former President Donald Trump, last Saturday was the culmination of a yearslong effort to secure a strong foothold in the Michigan Republican Party. Meshawn Maddock, his sherpa in the state handpicked co-chair of the party, presided over a nominating convention that saw two of his endorsees — Kristina Karamo and Matt DePerno, both believers in the conspiracy theory that stole the state from Trump — win the party’s support in their bids for, respectively, secretary of state and attorney general.

Grand Rapids, Michigan — It was around 5:35 p.m. on Saturday when the leaders of the Michigan Republican Party, whose members had spent the day sermonizing about election integrity, realized their nominating convention might be lacking that virtue. This issue revealed itself at an ironic juncture: A runoff to determine who would be the party’s nominee for attorney general, the office that would be called upon to protect fair and free elections — or, perhaps, undermine them.

Kristina Karamo, who denied the 2020 election results and has been connected to QAnon, was endorsed by Michigan Republicans and Trump as their candidate for Michigan Secretary of State over the weekend, as NPR reports. The podcaster of the defunct It’s Solid Food and community college professor also had a thing about connecting pop stars to Satan in the run-up to the endorsement.
