They’ve attempted to thwart him at every turn, and now they’re cracking down on his coalition in Michigan, a key swing state in the upcoming 2022 midterms and a state in question during 2020. Republican State Representative Matt Maddock, hailed by many as a conservative hero and Trump’s pick for Speaker of the Michigan House in 2022, was banished from the MI House Republican Caucus by RINO Speaker Jason Wentworth Tuesday afternoon.
