Republican Michigan governor primary candidate Ryan Kelley, fresh off his arrest on federal charges stemming from him entering the Capitol during the January 6th MAGA insurrection, leads the remaining field of GOP candidates who were not kicked off the GOP primary ballot for submitting false signatures on the ballot access petition, garnering 17% support from Michigan Republican respondents to a Detroit Free Press-EPIC MRA survey directed by a man named Bernie Porn.
“I can’t see how it didn’t have an impact. At 23% non-recognition, [Kelley] is in much better recognition shape than anybody else. His favorability numbers are much, much higher at 39 (%),” said Porn, unironically talking about “name recognition” and whom evidently holds far too deep a sense of filial piety to accept that just changing the vowel to “Parn” or “Pirn” would in no way be disrespectful to his ancestors whose original surname was likely bastardized by the registrars of an indifferent 19th century barony or early 20th century American immigration authorities anyway.
