The Russian Republican National Committee, led by lame duck leader Ronna Romney McDaniel, announced it recognized Trump-endorsed former Congressman Pete Hoekstra as chairman of the Michigan Republican Party in his battle for control against Kristina Karamo, the person elected to the position by state delegates a year ago, the Detroit News reports.
The announcement may not stick. Karamo’s team has been state for its caucus, slated for March 2nd, when state leaders intend to have delegates also vote to reaffirm Karamo’s leadership. The funny thing about this: Karamo is an ardent election denier and Trump supporter, but because of her poor business management of the Party, a group of Party delegates voted to oust her last month.
“If the RNC continues with its unprecedented actions of not recognizing our duly elected state chairperson, the Michigan Republican Party is prepared to take the appropriate steps to protect the rights and will of our delegates and state committee members from being usurped,” Karamo’s team said in a statement.
