Conspiracy-driven Macomb County GOP slams state Republicans for alienating Trump-endorsed candidates

[marmar]

(Detroit Metro Times) The head of the Macomb County Republican Party blasted the state GOP in a rambling, conspiracy-laden tirade, accusing party leaders of scheming against Trump-endorsed candidates and ignoring what he falsely called a “coup” in the 2020 election.

The rift is significant because Macomb is now the largest Republican-dominated county in the state and is credited with delivering Trump his victory in Michigan in 2016.

In a “message to my fellow patriots” posted on Rumble, a video platform popular with right-wing figures, Macomb County GOP Chairman Mark Forton said the state party is recruiting candidates to run against loyal supporters of former President Donald Trump. He singled out Michigan GOP Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock, saying she told him that Trump-endorsed candidates can’t win elections.

“Trump is the leader of our party, but it goes to show that in Washington ... our Republicans wanted him out just as bad as the Democrats did,” Forton said. “He upset the apple cart of all these people who worked together with their buddies. They’re all colleagues against the people of Michigan and America.” .............(more)
