DETROIT Michigan state Rep. Matt Maddock, R-Milford, and his wife, Meshawn Maddock, who is poised to become the next co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, have joined a Facebook group where members have discussed the possibility of a civil war, decried a ban on open carry inside the state Capitol and hope for a "big cleanup" of elected leaders.
The Maddocks have played a leading role in the effort to overturn Michigan's election results, and the two were in Washington, D.C., when the president's supporters stormed the Capitol building in a deadly assault last Wednesday. Meshawn Maddock helped organize buses bringing Michigan Trump supporters to Washington, and she and her husband spoke during a rally of Trump supporters the day before the violent mob attacked the Capitol. At least six Michigan residents have been arrested in connection with the riot, and at least one Michigan resident entered the Capitol building.
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee has called for Matt Maddock's resignation, claiming he bears responsibility for the assault on the Capitol. Meanwhile, Meshawn Maddock has faced pressure to withdraw as a candidate to serve as the state's GOP co-chair.
Neither responded to requests for comment Monday on the Facebook group the couple joined.
