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.”

And in other news Mitchell thanked China for making the Biden election possible.

Btw, Trump will be inaugurated in January.

non-story, other than for sh*t disturbing purposes:

Mitchell is retiring from Congress when the current session ends early next year.

The Republican Party wants him gone worse than the Democrats do.

I do not recall any court case where the fraud was actually tried, especially the fraud with the voting machines. Did I miss something?

“””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.”””


Thanks for informing us the PMS is a lame duck.

if the RINO’s think they can ever win an election without the full support of the MAGA base, then they are very deaf and dumb.

I can think of no reason that a Lame Duck anti-Trump Republican would change to be an Independent when his term ends in 21 days.

He’s retiring and the House is already in recess for the rest of the year, so all of that is moot. His replacement, Lisa McClain, won the seat by over 30 points and has supported Trump.

No big deal. He did not run for re-election. The seat was held by Lisa McClain, who Trump endorsed.

Just chalk this up as his embittered opus.

How much is Ted Cruz really supporting Trump? Yes I know he was willing to argue in front of the Supreme Court, but we need a Senator to object to the electors with Mo Brooks. Haven’t heard a word from Ted on this.

Punk RINOS like him go to——. When 8 of 9 mail out votes have a signature that does not match - it is serious. Mail ins stole this election along with Dominion plus more crooks.
