As usual, Matt Maddock is an embarrassment to the state of Michigan. What a racist, vile, horrible person. Also, just a reminder, his wife Meshawn Maddock, the former co-chair of the Michigan GOP, was at the capitol on 1/6 and was one of the "fake electors" from Michigan.

GOP lawmaker from Oakland County falsely claims that buses carrying March Madness teams are ‘illegal invaders’

A Michigan state lawmaker involved in former President Donald Trump’s election denials is being widely criticized after the Republican made false claims that buses carrying college athletes to Detroit for March Madness were shuttling illegal migrant “invaders” into the city.

State House Rep. Matt Maddock made the claim Wednesday night in a social media post accompanied by photos of three buses near an Allegiant plane at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Maddock wrote that the buses “just loaded up with illegal invaders.”

“Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?” the Republican wrote on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter. Maddock describes himself as Michigan’s “most conservative state representative” in his profile on the platform.

Four college basketball teams traveling to Detroit for the second weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament arrived by plane Wednesday evening, the Wayne County Airport Authority said in a statement. The “buses seen in a photograph circulating online were transporting the basketball teams and their respective staffs,” the statement added.

Crumbley hearing: Detective details chaos inside Oxford High School after shooting

Detective Lt. Tim Willis of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office opened the testimony in Thursday’s Miller hearing for convicted Oxford school shooter Ethan Crumbley.

The detective, as part of his testimony, described the scenes inside the school in the minutes after gunfire erupted, killing four students and injuring seven other people. Crumbley, then 15, was arrested within minutes inside the school.

When approached by deputies, Ethan Crumbley readily surrendered, placing the handgun on a garbage can near him, kneeling down and placing his hands in the air. He didn’t try to run or fight, Willis said.

While Willis remained on the stand, video footage of the shooting was played. Crumbley kept his head down throughout the entire presentation.
