Republican Co-Chair Spouts Blatant Homophobia Against Pete Buttigieg

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

On Sunday, Meshawn Maddock, the co-chair of Michigan's Republican party took to Twitter to attack United States Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. Maddock's tweet was in response to a recent interview Buttigieg had done about the shift away from gas-powered vehicles.

"We're so blessed this weak little girl moved to Michigan!" Maddock wrote. "Looks like he's bringing all his California Dreaming here with him."

Buttigieg, who was previously the mayor of South Bend Indiana, moved to Michigan in July. At the time he said that family connections (through his husband Chasten) inspired the move.

Maddock, who describes herself on Twitter as "Ultra MAGA" has been a co-chair of the state party since 2021. Prior to this, she had made national headlines for organizing a protest to halt the state's stay-at-home order which led to heavily armed militiamen outside the Michigan Statehouse. She also "helped fill 19 buses to Washington for the Jan. 6 rally" according to the New York Times and spoke at a Stop the Steal rally. In April, Maddock's husband Matt Maddock who was a State representative, was ousted from the state caucus for improper behavior.

She sounds like a real piece of work.

2. She's a MAGA 'patriot' so I am guessing no.

She was getting roasted in the replies I read.

4. I did, as well.

They have really beefed up their tools for reporting hateful tweets. Usually I struggle to figure out how to report LGBT slams - but they have very specific questions that align very nicely with this tweet.
