RNC initial review: Kristina Karamo 'properly removed' as MIGOP chair
Fox 17 ^

Posted on 01/25/2024 11:52:27 AM PST by GulliverSwift

LANSING, Mich. — The Republican National Committee determined Kristina Karamo was "properly removed" as MIGOP chair, according to its initial review.

This news comes just weeks after a January 6 meeting when the Michigan Republican Party voted to remove Karamo; however, Karamo pushed back.

She and her supporters released their own report days later, claiming the party's bylaws were violated and the decision to remove her as chairperson was null and void.

In a letter, the RNC Counsel's Office states it "has reviewed the MIGOP Bylaws, meeting minutes and other materials provided by both sides in this dispute. Based upon its initial review, it appears to the Counsel's Office that Ms. Karamo was properly removed in accordance with the MIGOP Bylaws on January 6. That said, the Counsel's Office's determination is not dispositive, and it recognizes that additional information could conceivably come to light which changes its view."

I haven't followed this too closely but I have heard conflicting reports. Some people say Karamo was a Democrat ringer brought in to ruin the Michigan GOP. Others say she is being sabotaged by the establishment.

Whatever's happening, the donations are in the toilet and the Democrats are winning the state elections.

I hope some Michigan FReepers can enlighten us.

The Michigan GOPee sold out to the Democrats starting in 2018.

Most of the party knows their seats are safe in the large number of red counties, so they handed power to the Michigan Mean Girls, who have been busily and industriously rigging the Michigan "elections" since 2018.

The Karamo smear is typical of those piles of steaming Mitt.

“””The Republican National Committee determined Kristina Karamo was “properly removed” as MIGOP chair,”””


The RNC is feeling the heat over their ‘folks back east bribe of Kari Lake’.

Now is NOT the time to congratulate the RNC for agreeing that Karamo was properly removed.

NO, now is the time to put even more pressure on the RNC and force the RNC to tell Nikki Haley: “YOU ARE FIRED and do not waste any more of Donald Trump’s time running your phony primary campaign”.

I thought Karomo was MAGA.

My guess is that this is the GOPe removing a MAGA chair.

In the summer of 2018, the Michigan Democrats got hold of the 2016 presidential election ballots (only for the red counties - the blue counties were too big to give them the data until after the 2018 "election").

Result? Blue Wave in the red counties.

No Blue Wave in the blue counties.

What a coincidence! /s

Yep.

Karamo was part of a movement that took over the GOP from the good ol boy’s rino uniparty.

The rnc wants to reclaim their power, and as such, have killed donations and sabotaged michigan for Karamo.

Much like ryan, mccarthy, mcconnell had sabotaged things against Trump.

Karamo was ‘removed’ by the GOP reps attending the meeting, except at the meeting there was no quora. So, she was never removed.

During the last election, the pub power brokers and big money were overthrown by we the people.
It was so overwhelming that the money and power brokers left the convention. They literally walked out.
We installed our people.
We lost the house and Senate, but we managed to get rid of the Rino’s.
Now the bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts are fighting back.
What they did was call an illegal meeting, and overthrew our people.

This is why I hate the bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts.
They are the enemy.

I live in Michigan. After the 2020 stolen election, the Republicans in the Michigan Legislature made it painfully clear that they are all a bunch of gutless RINOs. I watched, in real time, many hours of testimony of first-hand witnesses who gave highly credible testimony of election fraud throughout the state. The Republicans did NOTHING. Zip, zero, nada, as Rush used to say. As a result, I honestly couldn’t care less what they are doing up there because I feel like it’s a lost cause.

She was on Bannon’s show quite abit, and she ‘sounded’ MAGA. Haven’t seen her lately, though.

Karamo was supported by Trump in her run for secretary of state.

She ended up losing that election to the dem.

She then ran for michigan GOP office, and won that position.

So yes, she’s considered MAGA.

hmmm... it looks like Trump backed DePerno for that position. I don’t know the politics of that...

Not exactly. Two years ago, Trump sent the pillow guy and drooling Rudy to the Michigan republican convention in GR. They persuaded the delegates to nominate totally inexperienced candidates. The rep line-up was a joke. The Dems killed them in the general election letting one of the worst Govenor’s in the country have a second term (Whitmer). The Michigan GOP has been in disarray. Michigan is a must win state for Trump.
