Lansing — A committee inside the Michigan Republican Party plans to consider Saturday a proposal that calls for the resignation of GOP state Sen. Ed McBroom, who led a probe finding no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

While Norm Shinkle, the chairman of the party's Issues Committee, says he will oppose the resolution, its introduction points to the continued rift within the Michigan GOP over former President Donald Trump's loss in November.

The proposed resolution, obtained by The Detroit News, describes the Senate Oversight Committee's eight-month investigation into the 2020 election as "the product of gross official misconduct." The resolution primarily focuses on the Senate report's suggestion that Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel consider investigating individuals who pushed false claims about the election "to raise money or publicity for their own ends."

"In the broader context of ongoing attacks against the American people’s right to free speech and the right to counsel, the report bolsters and encourages these attacks in a transparent attempt to intimidate and silence all citizens exposing the misconduct of election officials, challenging the results of the election and advocating for legal and policy remedies," the proposed resolution says.

1. We need to come up with a new term than "Beyond the Pale"...

I can’t even see the “pale” in my magnifying rear view mirror.

2. Never mind what the Michigan GOP found out to be true. Their motto is:

7. Typical reQublican speak, like this.......

Senator Charles F. Meachum : There's always a confused soul that thinks that one man can make a difference.
And you have to kill him to convince him otherwise. That's the hassle with democracy.

8. The screenplay writer of that film definitely had Republican-speak down cold

His final phase of the career of the Senator from Montana left little doubt as to his sentiments on the matter, too.

9. Yes, the screenplay writer had reQublicans down to an art-form.

4. They all know there was no fraud.

I've given up waiting for some brave GOP body to stand up with their "I am Spartacus!" moment. None will point out that "The Emperor has no clothes!"

It's a lie, they all know it is a lie, and they are all pushing it anyway.

5. "We've got enough people attacking us without fellow Republicans attacking us," Dudenhoefer said. "I

"We’ve got enough people attacking us without fellow Republicans attacking us," Dudenhoefer said. "If you do that, you’ve got to go."

so never mind if he was actually telling the TRUTH, or the report was accurate, or it is true that people like Powell and Wood attacked the election with no evidence as part of a coordinated effort to undermine faith in the election so drumpf could stage his coup... no, all that matters is that someone from the GOP did the right thing, and for that he has to go.

6. At what point

does this craziness just burns itself out? And can it burn itself out with destroying the rest of us?!

I don't see how this is sustainable in the long run. This is pure insanity with no basis in truth or reality.
