A gathering of the Michigan Republican party on Saturday night turned physical and put one person in the emergency room, another 'kicked in the balls and cops called to break up the brawl.
Tensions boiled over at the Doherty Hotel in Clare, Michigan, as the GOP's state committee came together to discuss the party's direction and the leadership under new chairwoman Kristina Karamo.
As Michigan Republicans arrived at the venue, some found that the door where the meeting was taking place had already been locked and was limited to members of the state committee.
It left some Republicans frustrated as they were left to stand out in the cold.
James Chapman, a Republican from Wayne County, had traveled to Clare for the meeting only to be forced to listen to it through a locked door. When he tried to get inside, the melee started and included Chapman kicking another member in the groin.
Chapman told The Detroit News how he and others said the Pledge of Allegiance together in the lobby of the hotel - outside of the meeting.
He then attempted to get inside by turning the doorknob of the meeting room. He jiggled the doorknob of the meeting room but found it was locked shut.
Mark DeYoung, chairman of the Clare County Republican Party, came to the door and claimed to have seen someone curse at him through one of the windows.
Upon opening the door, DeYoung said he was instantly attacked.
'He kicked me in my balls as soon as I opened the door,' DeYoung told the outlet, noting how Chapman took a run at him - slamming him into a chair.
The force of the kick caused DeYoung to fall to the floor, breaking a rib in the process. He had to be taken to hospital.

The best GOP candidates for Governor were eliminated just before the GOP Primary by the corrupt and Democrat-run Michigan election commission. They used bogus excuses about invalid signatures at the very last minute so their decision could not be litigated, so they stole the Governor's race and gave it to Witless (she still looks like Bruce Jenner). We also have the Nazi-looking Michigan AG going after her opponents before and after the elections, just like Nazi, Communist, and other assorted third-world countries.
My first thought was a lot of Republican leaders need to be kicked in the balls.
They blocked Craig from running for Gov. He just make sure he gets on the ballot for Senate.
I think Chapman is MAGA and DeYoung (who is a lobbyist as well as Chairman of the County GOP) is the establishment shill. However it went down, Mr. Chapman sounds like a boss...(see below)
Chapman also said that during the confrontation, he removed his glasses. “When you see me taking my glasses off, I’m ready to rock,” Chapman said.
>Dixon was a deep state plant.
Unfortunately I’d agree. As the Ds used slimy techniques to embed their people in the petition drives of the people they wanted out, she remained to squeak by. She then promptly provided a GOTV Dem commercial with her comments, ran an un-campaign worthy of Mittens vs. Obama, still probably would’ve won if not for fraud, and then folded. Look to see where her campaign money came from and went after.
Karamo fought and then fought to take on the GOPe here, which is why now there are divisions as the RINOs want their life-as-usual while the Dems burn the state down.
I’m fine, but you can tell the local Deep State is getting desperate. Wayne County (where the instigator was from) somehow has their own set of election & other laws that don’t apply to “the rest of us” in the state. Not surprising they sent someone just to cause a rukus too keep the “party is in disarray” narrative going.
thanx for the update.
stay safe & keep up the fight.
appreciate you efforts
But this was Kristina Karamo's meeting, who I thought was MAGA.
DeYoung was attending Karamo's meeting. Chapman was trying to come in.
