Rep. Paul Mitchell quits GOP, becoming an independent, over party’s refusal to accept Trump loss to Biden
CNBC ^ | December 14, 2020 | Dan Mangan

Posted on 12/14/2020 3:15:13 PM PST by Trump20162020

Rep. Paul Mitchell of Michigan quit the Republican Party on Monday over the GOP’s refusal to admit that President Donald Trump lost the election to President-elect Joe Biden.

Mitchell, in a scathing letter to GOP leaders, wrote that Trump’s baseless claims alleging widespread ballot fraud, and the Republican Party’s tolerance of those claims, threatened “long-term harm to our democracy.”

I don’t think this one was a RINO; he’s just gullible enough to take the ‘RATS and the media at their word.

Am I missing something...is there another type of politician!!! Trump has praised Ted Cruz in the past.

Cruz has been a supporter of Trump across the board. I'm not saying he's a phony, I'm saying his visible support in this fight has been more about him wanting to get the MAGA base to forgive him. Honestly at this point after all the courts have wilfully refused to see the obvious evidence put in front of them Trump is down to needing to draw an inside royal straight flush to be the one sworn in on inauguration day. Cruz doesn't expect that to happen, or at least he'd be right to think it's a very, very tough scenario to achieve. So it's likely his visible support has as much to do with his own long term future prospects as they do with Trumps short term ones.

The vote fell largely along party lines, with just Bacon and Rep. Paul Mitchell (R-Mich.) crossing party lines to support it.: House Armed Services votes to make Pentagon rename Confederate-named bases in a year (07/01/2020)

I am leaving the Republican Party too. The GA GOP is a joke that isn’t a bit funny. They are absent when the most important Senate election, probably ever, is in January. They have been silent while Fulton County stopped the vote count until they could manufacture enough votes to go ahead of Trump. The governor, elected because Trump campaigned for him here, has turned a deaf ear to calls for audits and recounts.
This isn’t the Party I’ve been a member of for nearly 60 years!!! This is a bunch of sorry losers!

He didn’t run for reelection so he’s gone when the next term starts — this is just him showboating and flipping the bird on his way out.

Just another greasy RINO pol - he likes the young stuff.

His wife is twenty years younger than him...

Mitchell did not run for reelection in November 2020.

His term ends in January 2021.

Lisa McClain (R) won the 2020 election in Michigan Congressional District 10 with 66% of the vote.

"Good Riddance RINO. We need to get rid of as many of y’all as possible in 2022."

Amen brother! The 2022 Republican primary elections must be about the Deplorables taking back the GOP and putting the Uniparty GOPe scumbags out of office.

“””Just another greasy RINO pol - he likes the young stuff.

But, but, but—the internet’s only source of truth (sarc), Wikipedia, says this about PMS:

‘’’Mitchell moved to Saginaw County, Michigan, when he married his wife, Sherry Mitchell, in 2008.[4] A longtime resident of Thomas Township, near Saginaw,[21] he bought a home in Dryden Township to enter the race for the 10th. He and his wife, Sherry, have six children. [4]”””

Quite an accomplishment to have 6 kids in 12 years.
