Some real leopards ate my face vibes.
Gee, who woulda thunk.
Яepublicans and not accepting democratic results. Has there ever been a more iconic duo?
sigh
Thanks for the R aha, wanna start using that
illegally organized
I may be mistaken, but the GOP is not part of the government. It's a nonprofit organization. So at BEST the vote is against some internal company policy or something.
"cant believe the woman we put in place to refuse the results of the election wont accept the results of an election" - michigan gop
Theres no way to stop this from happening!
Best of luck lady. Even with the optics I imagine a sizeable chunk of Republicans will love to see a black woman ran down by their own party.
Can we fucking finally get some consequences for the assholes determined to destroy our nation's government?
Please?
Well, at least they're consistent. In terms of not respecting legitimate, legal votes.
It's nice watching the Republicans destroy themselves from the inside.
The GOP is falling apart and I couldn’t be happier to see it.
Not quickly enough, and as long as they have SCOTUS nothing else really matters.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Republicans plan to discuss the removal of state GOP Chairwoman Kristina Karamo during a meeting Saturday after many of the party’s leaders have called for her resignation following a year of leadership plagued by debt and infighting.
Karamo has made it clear she will not recognize the vote if removed Saturday, claiming the meeting is not official and has been illegally organized.
The party is aiming this year to flip an open U.S. Senate seat while also helping the Republican presidential nominee win the battleground state.
Similar situations have unfolded in Georgia and Arizona, which poses a significant implication in the 2024 presidential election where those states are poised to play pivotal roles.
She eventually was backed by former President Donald Trump in her run for secretary of state in 2022, losing by 14 percentage points in a result that she still refuses to concede.
Karamo has refused to resign and promised not to leave if ousted at the meeting, calling the gathering “illegal” in a recent podcast posted on the Michigan GOP website.

Before the Civil War was over, at least two slave-holding States were threatening to succeed from the Confederacy.
