PAYBACK: MI House Speaker Jason Wentworth OUSTS Trump Endorsed Candidate For Speaker, Rep. Matt Maddock, From House GOP Caucus Only 3 Days After Establishment GOP Bloodbath
thegatewaypundit.com ^ | 4/27/22 | Patty McMurray

Late in the day on Tuesday, the MI House Republican Caucus, under the leadership of Speaker Jason Wentworth and House Caucus Chair Matt Hall, have expelled the popular conservative MI State Representative Matt Maddock (R).

Local far-left media was elated to see the establishment Republicans attacking one of the most popular and consistently one of the top fundraising Republican lawmaker’s in Michigan. Jonathan Oosting of the Detroit Free Press cites sources “familiar with the situation” to accuse Maddock of “allegedly violating caucus rules.”

We spoke with Rep. Matt Maddock, who said he was “never given a reason” for the decision to expel him from the caucus.

So, what was Rep. Maddock’s crime? Why was he expelled from the House Caucus?

Rep. Maddock’s crime was supporting President Trump and Trump-endorsed candidates in Michigan. Instead of supporting candidates simply because they’re incumbents, Maddock has taken a more thoughtful approach and has thrown his support behind America-first candidates who will fight to support Trump’s agenda.

Maddock’s most serious crime, however, might be his happy marriage to the intelligent, outspoken, conservative, and beautiful MI GOP Co-chair Meshawn Maddock, who has never wavered in her steadfast support for President Trump.

On Saturday, Michigan establishment Republican lawmakers were humiliated when 2,000 GOP delegates voted at the state convention to choose Kristina Karamo as their secretary of state candidate and Constitutional Attorney Matt DePerno as their candidate to run in the general election. Both are grassroots candidates, and with a few exceptions, like Rep. Matt Maddock, they got no support from members of the GOP majority Republican House.

The majority of House and Senate Republicans in Michigan fought hard to convince delegates to support DePerno’s strongest opponent, Tom Leonard, for the AG spot.

Typical of the entrenched. Disturbing the status quo is the greatest sin of all, and not to be tolerated. If the AG candidate gets elected it might be good for the MI GOP if some old rugs are looked under.

I think the folks involved in his ouster will find themselves fighting much harder in the future to keep their own jobs.

They had gotten used to being able to do this stuff under the radar, but those days are over.

This is Trump’s party now.

Shows how important the Precinct Project is. They basically chose who the primary candidates are. Many people have joined the GOP at the local and state levels over the past few years and this is the positive result.

Another important thing they do is vote for GOP leaders. Local precint people vote for county GOP leaders who in turn vote for state GOP leaders who in turn vote for national GOP leaders as in, Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel. They vote every two years so in short order, the GOP could be completely taken over from the inside out.

Time to get rid of the wolf is sheep’s clothing, RINO Speaker Jason Wentworth.

“Time to get rid of the wolf is sheep’s clothing, RINO Speaker Jason Wentworth.”

Due to term limits, Wentworth is not up for re-election in 2022, thus will no longer be Speaker this January. Originally, Wentworth was committed to backing State Rep Andrew Fink as his successor, but with a looming primary coming from pro-Trump challenger Steve Meckley, Fink looks like a sinking ship. Wentworth has since seemingly abandoned Fink to sink alone, allegedly throwing his support behind Rep. Matt Hall for Speaker. Matt Hall presents himself as a pro-Trump Republican, but he was instrumental in helping bury election fraud whistleblowers in the aftermath of the stolen 2020 presidential election.

aka Precinct Strategy

GOP has been 50/50 RINO/MAGA with half of the precinct positions vacant. MAGA is filling those empty seats making it 25/75 RINO/MAGA.

I wonder if these types of petty political fights were happening within Babylon as the Medes and Persians marched under walls through the left-open river gate? Probably so...

These are power struggles, so yes, are eternal.

But legislative maneuvers are used instead of knives in the back.

Hmm, establishment fighting back against them damned voters.

This is just one reason, I think The Party will carry the day in November or later during the Counting Season.

The Republicrats and Never-Trumpers hate us almost as much as we hate them and will never vote for a MAGA-Republican. They will also do everything in their power to exclude them from office

Michigan Republicans were in on the 2020 Steal.

Also, they handed the state to the Democrats in 2018.

Rickie-Rick Snyder found out about the gratitude of Commies - after the 2020 Michigan electoral votes were firmly in the bag, Nazi Nessel indicted Rickie-Rick for felonies related to Flint.

Up against the wall, Rickie - and thanks for your help, comrade!
