Three Michigan Republicans will face charges in two separate intra-party altercations that went down during state GOP meetings at the Doherty Hotel in Clare, Michigan in April (the trashy Karen confrontation) and July (the balls kicking incident), the Detroit News reports.
Kalamazoo County GOP chair Kelly Sackett and the Macomb County GOP secretary Melissa Pehlis got into a brief shoving match during the state GOP’s meeting over some sort of pissing contest about the Kalamazoo Party’s internal operations. “I felt like I had a target on my back. She was in my face with a cigarette and I had warned her to get that cigarette out of my face. And she didn’t, and it was extremely close to my face, and I felt like I was going to be burned. And quite honestly, the phone was in the hand with the cigarette, so that’s why the phone went flying, it was the cigarette that I hit, because it was right over here by my face,” Sackett told Fox 2 Detroit after the incident.
Clare County Prosecutor Michelle Ambrozaitis charged Pehlis and Sackett Disturbing the Peace and Disorderly Jostling over that incident. Balls-kicker Wayne County GOP member James Chapman was hit with Disturbing the Peace and Assault and Battery for his July balls-kicking of Clare County GOP chairman Mark DeYoung during a meeting of the state party’s executive committee that had been closed to regular members. All charges are misdemeanors. As stupid and embarrassing as all this shit is, it’s still the least of the Michigan GOP’s problems these days given the higher-level officials facing felonies for stealing Dominion voting machines in a stupid attempt to prove they were “hacked” in the 2020 election as well as the 16 MAGA assholes who signed fake electoral votes for Trump. Oh and the state party is essentially broke and its leader is a Q-pilled conspiracy freak.
