Defeated election conspiracists seek to lead Michigan GOP
The Associated Press ^ | December 3, 2022 | By JOEY CAPPELLETTI

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Republicans who lost their races for Michigan’s top three statewide offices after promoting falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election are not planning to go quietly.

Two of the candidates who denied President Joe Biden’s victory in the state have announced plans to run for the position that leads the state GOP, while the third has said she is considering a challenge for the top post.

That is raising concerns within the party after it suffered a drubbing in Michigan, a perennial political battleground that is poised to play a pivotal role in the 2024 presidential race. Their attempts to gain control of the party apparatus also show how far-right conservatives are trying to maintain their grip on the party’s grassroots at a time the GOP nationally is wrestling with its direction after lackluster midterm results.

Kristina Karamo, a community college professor who lost her race for secretary of state after mounting a campaign filled with election conspiracies, used the same kind of charged language she had throughout her campaign in announcing her intention to run for Michigan party chair.

I am sure the associated press words every article about the new Democrat minority leader the same way..

oh wait! he is a liberal and can deny any election without the press feeling the need to bring it up EVERY SINGLE TIME an article is written about him!

This is biased propaganda not journalism or news. It reflects the lack of any critical thinking by the author — or might I say any thinking at all.

Being from Michigan myself, I would love to see REAL LEADERSHIP from the state gop. But at this late stage. That ship has already set sail and taking on massive amounts of water.

The conspiracy is now proven between the Deep State and MSM to steal with election, which they did. Pointing this out is not a conspiracy, it is proven fact.

I’m starting to get the feeling that no matter what ‘We The People’ do, the Enemy Media that sets the narrative is going to win.

And will continue to win. :(

All I can suggest is to do what you can in your own town, county and state, look out for and love your family and closest friends, and prepare accordingly.

I can't figure out why people can't figure out that if the media doesn’t believe in fair and honest journalism why they should care about fair and honest elections.
