Breaking: #Michigan Republicans have voted to remove state #GOP Chair Kristina Karamo, an election denier, from her role.

@GottaLaff. Isn't she still in denial, only this time about the vote to oust her?

@GottaLaff

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this qualifies as a big, "Wow!", given the problem MI GOP has become. It sounds like the tide might finally be starting roll back out.
I'll still be stocking up for the blow-out party after Trump loses the national, tho. I don't think they can learn quickly enough what riptides they're swimming in.

@skydog I celebrate small victories. I never pre-celebrate the large ones.

@skydog @GottaLaff it's not a matter of non Magas regaining control of the party, the people involved are all still MAGA election denying kooks.

The MI GOP is so fractured that the two sides call each other rinos/deep state plants, they are only getting rid of Karamo because of her ridiculous lawsuits to try and sell the GOP HQ that she doesn't have the right or ability to sell and for having the party be bankrupt.

Their temp replacement is Karamo's former running mate.

@GottaLaff this is what This American Life’s podcast was about- how she got this position and how she was struggling to keep it. The whole party in Michigan is in chaos. She was bound to go though. She couldn’t raise the money
@GottaLaff Not over. "In an email statement on Friday the party said the Saturday meeting “by a faction of the State Committee” was unauthorized and in violation of party bylaws. Karamo would attend at a separately called special meeting on Jan. 13, according to the statement."
@GottaLaff Okay… but why? Are they saying they are booting her because she’s an election denier and a trumper or just because and don’t want to say it out loud?

@kbsez @GottaLaff

I think it's because she's raised nearly nothing for MI-GOP coffers - has nothing to do with her crazed views

@GottaLaff
What?!? Has anybody checked if the Italian government is behind this obvious vote manipulation too?

@GottaLaff

Well, at least she's not indicted, so Karamo's got that going for her.

@GottaLaff Did they oust her because she is an election-denying extremist, or did they oust her because they think she is not enough of an extremist and they want someone worse to take her place?
@richard_merren they ousted her because the party is bankrupt and they don't have money for the election year. Nothing about her ideology. The state party is completely made up of election deniers and MAGA kooks. The temp replacement is Karamo's former running mate when she ran for SOS before losing and being made party chair.
