Aide to Michigan Republican Who Called Capitol Riot 'Hoax' Quits to Work for Democrat
A senior aide to Michigan State Senator Mike Shirkey is leaving her job and will take up a new position with the state's Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel, the AG's office announced on Thursday.
Amber McCann currently serves as Shirkey's deputy chief of staff and press secretary but has accepted a role as special projects director at the attorney general's Office of Public Information and Education. She will begin the new job on March 8.
Shirkey, who is Michigan's Senate majority leader, has faced strong criticism from state Democrats for comments claiming the events of the deadly Capitol riot on January 6 were staged and had nothing to do with supporters of former President Donald Trump.
"Ms. McCann has a reputation as a tireless worker and consummate professional and Attorney General Nessel is eager for her to continue serving the people of our state," said Attorney General Communications Director Kelly Rossman-McKinney in a statement.
