Activist who organized buses to DC about to take Mich. GOP role


https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2021/01/07/capitol-riot-meshawn-maddock-michigan-republican-cochair/6577739002/

LANSING — A Michigan GOP activist who organized busloads of Trump supporters who traveled to the Capitol in Washington, D.C. for a Wednesday protest that devolved into a riot is about to become state co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party.

The proposed leadership role for Meshawn Maddock is not sitting well with some party members.

On Wednesday, Michigan Republican Party Chair Laura Cox announced she would not seek a second two-year term — a decision she said in an email to party members she arrived at over the Christmas holidays.

4 bus loads from Michigan and they were not fake Anti-Fa.

THese were mostly white, mostly male, mostly 40s, 50s, 60s. These are people who do not work. They are angry at the wrong people. They've lost jobs, and they have this free time to play boosters to their "Team."

If we'd paid people to stay at home, if we'd implemented infrastructure projects and put these middle aged working class guys to work, if we'd not outsourced high wage manufacturing....

This is the Trump Republican Coup. He's set the stage for violence by enabling these fascists and anarchists. Anger and rage over loss of power and lots of unemployed, underemployed males--ragin gtestosterone. WHat could possibly go wrong.

All these terrorists need to be checked into Guantanamo.
