Washington Post: "The Republican leaders of Michigan's state House said they had removed GOP state Rep. Gary Eisen from his committee assignments, after Eisen suggested in a radio interview that there might be violence Monday as state electors cast their votes for Biden. 'We as elected officials must be clear that violence has no place in our democratic process,' said House Speaker Lee Chatfield and Rep. Jason Wentworth, who will replace Chatfield as speaker next year. 'We must be held to a higher standard.'"
"Earlier in the day, Eisen – who has been in office since 2019 – told Michigan radio station WPHM that he and other state legislators might take action to challenge Biden's victory. Eisen declined to describe exactly what the plan was. 'It'll be all over the news later,' Eisen said. 'I'm on a football team, and we have one more play.' 'Can you assure me that this is going to be a safe day in Lansing, nobody's going to get hurt?' host Paul Miller said. 'No,' Eisen. Eisen did not reply to requests for comment from The Washington Post. The loss of committee assignments will have little practical impact on Eisen, since the punishment lasts only until Michigan's legislative term ends on Dec. 31. But it seemed intended to signal that Michigan's House Republicans wanted to distance itself from Eisen, and whatever plan he is involved in."
