In Michigan, Dem Gary Peters quarantined after exposure from Republican colleague, meanwhile

His GOP opponent John James holds rallies with Proud Boys in attendance.

A handful of Proud Boys — the self-described “western chauvinists” who are classified a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) — volunteered at a recent event held in Antrim County for GOP U.S. Senate nominee John James.

James is challenging U.S. Sen. Gary Peters (D-Bloomfield Twp.) this fall. About six men in black and yellow Proud Boys garb were at the Aug. 22 event that hosted him, per reporting and a photograph from Interlochen Public Radio (IPR).

The men volunteered at the northern Michigan event. The part pig roast, part open shooting range was put on by the Antrim County Conservative Union.

The polling is far too close for comfort at this time, and the Devos family is pouring money into this
race to defeat Peters. Please consider donation and if you live in Michigan VOTE
