Michigan Republicans plan to discuss the removal of state GOP Chairwoman Kristina Karamo during a meeting Saturday after many of the party’s leaders have called for her resignation following a year of leadership plagued by debt and infighting.
Karamo has made it clear she will not recognize the vote if removed Saturday, claiming the meeting is not official and has been illegally organized. The unfolding situation could set the stage for a court fight to determine control of the highest position within the Michigan GOP.
The internal dispute takes place as Michigan Republicans look to rebound from 2022 midterms in which they suffered historic losses. The party is aiming this year to flip an open U.S. Senate seat while also helping the Republican presidential nominee win the battleground state.
“Karamo has refused to resign and promised not to leave if ousted at the meeting, calling the gathering “illegal” in a recent podcast posted on the Michigan GOP website.”
GOP: “This is the way.”
Some real leopards ate my face vibes.
Gee, who woulda thunk.
Яepublicans and not accepting democratic results. Has there ever been a more iconic duo?

Thanks for the R aha, wanna start using that
illegally organized
I may be mistaken, but the GOP is not part of the government. It’s a nonprofit organization. So at BEST the vote is against some internal company policy or something.

Theres no way to stop this from happening!
Best of luck lady. Even with the optics I imagine a sizeable chunk of Republicans will love to see a black woman ran down by their own party.

Well, at least they’re consistent. In terms of not respecting legitimate, legal votes.
It’s nice watching the Republicans destroy themselves from the inside.
The GOP is falling apart and I couldn’t be happier to see it.
