Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey
“One of Michigan’s highest-ranking Republicans on Wednesday stood by his false claims that it is a “hoax” to blame supporters of then-President Donald Trump for the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
In a private conversation with Democratic Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II on the Senate rostrum that was captured by the chamber’s video feed, Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey said: “I frankly don’t take back any of the points I was trying to make” but rather “some of the words I chose.” He said the siege was “very real, but the assignment of cause — that was planned weeks and months in advance.””
The rioters in the Capital were MAGA supporters which has been bourn out in the arrests that have been made. They claim their leader, Former President Trump, compelled them to take the capital by siege in order to ‘restore democracy’. Senator Shirkey, among many others continue to adhere to cult like notions that Donald Trump is infallible and is incapable of inciting an insurrection which is patently false. The conspiracy theorists have tied their lot to Trump and will go down in the history books as anti-democratic activists in what amounts to one of the most dangerous episodes in American history.
