More calls for Michigan GOP Chair to resign

Another group in Michigan is calling on the state’s Republican Party Chair to step down after comments about assassination and ‘witches’.

University of Michigan regent and GOP Chair Ron Weiser is under fire for comments he made last week at an event for the North Oakland Republic Club. He called Governor Whitmer, Attorney General Nesser, and Secretary of State Benson “the three witches” and said the GOP needs to make sure “they are ready for burning at the stake.”

Leaders of the Congregations of Catholic Sisters in Michigan have added their name to the growing list of groups calling on Weiser to resign. U of M President Mark Schlissel agreed, said his words were “particularly abhorrent” and “Elected officials must adhere to a higher standard regardless of the context of their remarks.”

Why aren’t these groups calling for the Whichmer to step down.. After all she is the one violating the rights of The People wither t=her tyranny. typical democraps, let their own tyrannical people remain while their actions are anti-Liberty while calling for their opponents to step down over words.

The concept of right and wrong is totally off base these days. Right is wrong, up is down, the world is turned upside down.

He was at a Republican party group, who was the baby that said something? I am so tired of all the thin skinned people in this world. What happened to sticks and stones saying? We have a world that will roll over and cry when China or Russia takes us over with not one shot fired. All they have to do is say a hurtful thing and this government will hand them the keys and say please stop being mean!
