“A man who would suspend the Constitution can’t be trusted. Anyone who will put their egos over people is not fit to lead” – Michigan MAGA Congressman John James on December 6, 2022, days after disgraced former President Trump posted “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” in demanding to be reinstated to the presidency after that stupid “Twitter files” bullshit.
“Biden’s policies have been particularly detrimental to Michigan’s middle-class. Under President Trump on the other hand, inflation was at 2%, the American family was strengthened through the child tax credit and other pro-family policies, and our communities were more secure. In 2024, we need to give hope to Americans who feel like their government is failing them” – Michigan MAGA Congressman John James on July 11, 2023, endorsing disgraced former President Trump for 2024.
Asked to explain what 2022 John James got wrong, 2023 John James told Detroit News reporter Riley Beggin that “it’s the fact that we are six months worse off under the Biden administration,” and changing his mind now gives him “the most time to focus on pragmatic policy rather than the politics,” whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean. Selling out and abandoning stated commitments to principle can be tough on some people. It’s stressful and hard to think straight.
