Top GOP Election Denier Sued After Refusing To Leave Office She Was Voted Out Of This Month - Rodecast



The election denier, Kristina Karamo, that they installed as the head of the Michigan GOP back after she lost her last election against incumbent Democrat Joselyn Benson for secretary of state still has not conceded.

Karamo was voted out as head of the GOP, but refused to leave the office (election denial in 2020, 2022, and 2024 shows a habitual pattern).

Rode goes into further detail about Karamo and the GOP's dismal condition in Michigan.

The GOP voted her out of office saying that the party's finances were failing due to her leadership (or lack thereof) and she refuses to leave that position so the state GOP filed a lawsuit to remove her. It's an interesting situation watching the GOP fight amongst themselves.

but I wanted to point out that it wasn't occur because of this fiasco. Rode indicated that she may have other legal issues to contend with though so you can keep your hopes up.

Karamo is a resident of Oak Park and is a single mother of two children.[21] She was married to Adom Karamo; the marriage ended in 2014 with a divorce.[22] In an October 2021 court record first published by Jezebel, Kristina's ex-husband Adom Karamo claimed that Kristina threatened to kill herself and their daughters in a car crash.[23] Karamo denied these allegations, saying they were an attempt by her ex-husband to "exploit the fact that [she is] a public figure, using it as leverage to change the custody agreement he became dissatisfied with".[24][9]

Karamo believes that demonic possession is real and may be transferred through sexual relations. She has also said that abortion is child sacrifice and a Satanic practice,[25][26] that pop stars such as Beyonce, Jay-Z, Cardi B, Ariana Grande, and Billie Eilish are tools of Satan recruiting their followers into paganism, and that yoga is a ritual to summon demons. Karamo is also a fan of Korean dramas, yet criticized one plot line centered on communicating with deceased ancestors, saying, "Satan, again, he's so crafty... It is so important to know that you're not communicating with no ancestors. Sweetheart, you're communicating with demons.”[27][28]

However, after reading the details that you provided it is important to remember that some cuckoos escape from the nest.

We were warned. Wait and see what happens if Georgia gets fed up and votes out MTG. She will bring her armory cache of weapons.
Many many more will deploy this damn tactic. Fully supported by Fox, Bannon et al. All call out the MAGA militia to kill. We can when Pres, House and Senate. But there will be blood called for by the mouths behind keypads and mics, before any new seat will be taken by rightful winners.
The shit needs addressed NOW!
