Paul Mitchell: Republicans Gone Full Q!

Rep. Paul Mitchell (I-MI) says the Republican Party is nuts.

BLOGGER IS TRASH!

Michigan lawmaker leaves the Republican Party.

Outgoing Rep. Paul Mitchell (I-MI) had supported President Donald J. Trump. He voted for him twice. He endorsed the Trump/Paul Ryan tax breaks. Mitchell didn’t join Rep. Justin Amash (I/L-MI) and Democrats when Trump was impeached. He supported Trump’s attacks on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. 

What drove him to leave the Republican Party?

I guess it was Trump’s temper tantrums and the death threats. Matter of fact, Michigan had to shut down the state capitol so they could have it swept for bombs. The electors had to be escorted by police so they could cast their ballots.

Michigan went to Biden by three points. This state along with WIsconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia and Nevada were targets of numerous lawsuits by Trump. Each of them were dismissed by federal and state courts. The lawsuits by the state of Texas were rejected by the Supreme Court. 

The Supreme Court said they will not intervene in the results of the election hereby ending Trump’s quest to change the results.

Mitchell, a two term Republican who voted for Trump said he will immediately sever his ties with the Republican Party. He said that the Republican lawmakers who signed on to Texas’ lawsuit was the last straw. Mitchell said he can’t be a part of a party that parades around patriotism while secretly trying to undermine democracy.

It’s a little too late for the independent streak. Mitchell is retiring and it’s basically symbolic.

His successor, Rep-elect Lisa McClain (R-MI) will carry on as the opposition to a Biden administration. 

The Republican Party has embraced white nationalism. Despite having Black Republicans like Rep-elect Burgess Owens (R-UT) and Rep-elect Bryon Donalds (R-FL) in the fold, the Republicans Party is the party of white nationalism, conspiracy theories and stupidity.

Former Louisiana governor and presidential candidate Bobby “Piyush” Jindal said that the Republican Party is the “party of stupid.”

Mitchell represents Bay City and Port Huron in the 10th Congressional District. The district is SAFE REPUBLICAN and Trump won the district by 14 points.
