Republican former Michigan Congressman Peter Meijer, who served all of one term as he was primaried out of his seat in 2022 for voting to impeach disgraced former President Trump for the Capitol riot – and then tried to repent for it with an amicus brief to the US Supreme Court opposed to banning the fat fuck from the ballot – has dropped out of the US Senate primary race to fill a seat to be left open by retiring Dem Debbie Stabenow, the Detroit Free Press’s Todd Spangler reports.
In summary: A former member of Congress voted to impeach with the full knowledge that the eventual outcome could have been Trump being banned from office for life wanted to return and in a better position in Congress. So he walked that back by filing an argument to the Supreme Court to help prevent Trump from being banned from office for life. Trump endorsed some other asshole former member of Congress for that seat and now Peter Meijer has absolutely nothing to show for having sold out the deeply perilous yet principled stand he had taken three years earlier. There are a great many similar arcs that capture the very essence and culture of the Republican Party in the Trump era. Very few do so eloquently and succinctly than this woeful tale of Peter Meijer.
