LANSING — Live, laugh, love? Well in the Michigan GOP Senate Showdown, the saying actually goes kick, scream, bite, throw rocks. While Mike Rogers pretends that everything is settled in the primary, Republicans are saying the opposite, calling it “laughable” since “Trump supporters can’t stand” “total loser” Rogers (who is also facing heat for dodging questions from voters).
Here’s the latest on the March Madness in the Senate Showdown:
- It’s 5 o’clock somewhere… Shot: Rogers claims that the primary is “done” following Trump’s endorsement, and “any kicking, screaming, biting, throwing rocks isn’t going to change that.” Chaser: Two days later, 25 Michigan RNC delegates signed a resolution urging Trump to rescind his endorsement of Rogers.
- Justin Amash said the quiet part out loud, saying “Trump supporters can’t stand” “total loser” Rogers and it’s “laughable” to think they’d support Rogers. Amash hit Trump for making a “classically bad choice” endorsing Rogers.
- What do MAGA Republicans, Libertarians, Democrats, and Independents have in common? According to Amash, none of them support Rogers who is in “big trouble.”
- Rogers faced more heat from conservatives after he walked out of an event and refused to answer questions from voters.
- Stephen Henderson of American Black Journal cut straight to the point, saying “Republicans are cursed when it comes to the Senate in Michigan,” and it’s “something about the candidates that they choose to run in these races that turns people off.”
- Henderson criticized Rogers for having a hard time articulating answers to questions about the 2020 election and January 6th which will “sink Republican candidates this fall” and make it “really tough to maintain voters’ support and confidence.”
- Amash dismissed Rogers, saying he has “no enthusiasm whatsoever” and he “needs to raise millions and millions and millions of dollars just to, like, try and compete with me.”
- Amash bashed Rogers “who [doesn’t] care about the Constitution, who voted for every spending bill, did everything under the sun to go along with the establishment when he was in Congress.”
- First words that come to your mind when you think of “Deep State” Rogers? “The worst!” Republican Congressman Thomas Massie also went as far to say “if [Rogers] gets back and he’s in the Senate… the flame [of liberty] is not burning as bright.”
- Republican Congressman Warren Davidson called out Rogers for being a “surveillance state person.”
- Amash attacked Rogers, calling him an “establishment statist neoconservative” who is “actually leading the charge to do harm” with a “total failure” voting record.
- Amash slammed “crooked” Rogers for promoting violating people’s privacy and defending “unconstitutional, warrantless surveillance of Americans.”
- In response to Rogers believing that the primary is done, Pensler’s team didn’t hold back, saying “D.C. doesn’t anoint a candidate. Michigan Republican voters vote for one.”
- Amash went in on Rogers for “stand[ing] with the swamp” and loving “big spending bills.”
- One foot out the door… Wednesday marked the anniversary of McCain-Feingold being signed into law which Rogers opposed and voted against. Right after he left office, he “passed through the ‘revolving door,’” making an “explosion of immense wealth.”
- As SCOTUS heard oral arguments on the mifepristone case this week, here’s your reminder that Rogers, Meijer, Pensler, and Amash all support dangerous abortion bans.
