"We" nothing.
This is a Republican problem.
Chaos and confusion to the enemies of democracy 🥂
It's "we" if I'm a Republican...
I'm not, but I'm not a Democrat either
So use correct grammar and say wen’t.
Childish yeah. On this topic, let me try one (dad) joke :
They lost the chair, what a big deal ! They just have to use the sofa instead 😋
Maybe this is how the Purge gets started. Presented in a way that makes it sound good to MAGAs, but everyone is else is just thinking of them.
SNL should have Jordan Peele dust off a wig and play her during the cold open.
Refusal to be removed from your post after you were legally ousted should be treason, no?
Treason has a very specific meaning that this absolutely isn't. This is more like not leaving after your manager fires you.
American politics has become children screaming "NUH UH!"
Republican Party politics has become children screaming "NUH UH!"
Get it right and quit trying to "both sides" this.
Last I checked, the Democrats were part of American Politics. They're part of the system and have to deal with childish behaviour in their workplace. You made the connection that they're childish because you drew a conclusion before actually thinking about a statement.
Get it right and think about what you read before you decide your opinion.
LOL, what a pathetic attempt at backtracking.
Not if that's an internal party function.
If the party has to put forth the candidates to the state for the ballot, what happens if the party isn't able to do that, I wonder.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But she and the faction that support her have refused to step down, further inflaming the chaos that has engulfed the swing-state Republican party with the 2024 presidential election just months away.
Even if Karamo’s opponents succeed in choosing a new chair this weekend, their vote is unlikely to settle the matter – dragging the beleaguered party deeper into internal conflict that promises to escalate as the 2024 elections approach.
Karamo’s opponents have signaled they will go to court to settle the matter, while her remaining allies within the state party sent cease-and-desist letters to them on Thursday alleging trademark infringement and warning them to stop using Michigan GOP logos and branding.
The crisis within the Michigan GOP may be the most dramatic example of the rift that has grown within the Republican Party across the US since Donald Trump left office, with members clashing over election denialism and the US Capitol attack.
By the time Karamo was elected to chair the party in 2023, she already had a reputation for floating wild conspiracy theories and had made an unsuccessful bid for Michigan secretary of state.
Local party officials questioned financial decisions by the party’s leadership under Karamo, including their decision to take out a loan to pay a more than $100,000 speaking fee for Jim Caviezel – the actor who starred in The Passion of the Christ and has emerged as a celebrity proponent of the QAnon conspiracy theory.
The original article contains 727 words, the summary contains 240 words. Saved 67%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I'm not really sure how she ever got elected chair of the party after her dumpster fire of a campaign for secretary of state.
