WAIT ‘TIL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME




Those pesky Republicans. They just can’t behave with decorum and church-like behavior when they get together. At their 2024 state convention in August, it was one thing after another – from former state GOP chair Kristina Karamo being escorted out of the convention hall in Flint by police, as someone with her shoved a security guard, all because she refused to get a convention credential. Another man was subsequently removed and arrested by police after yelling “Fake chair” at current party chair Pete Hoekstra. A third individual was removed for repeatedly shouting “fraud” at Hoekstra. There were further heated debates on convention rules and proposed amendments. This after a tumultuous year with Karamo at the helm that led to her ouster and Hoekstra’s installation at the top, following fights, both physical and verbal, at several party meetings and concerns over funding. It seems the 2024 state Democratic convention was boring in comparison
