FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — A Michigan state lawmaker involved in former President Donald Trump’s election denials is being widely criticized making false claims that buses carrying college athletes to Detroit for March Madness were shuttling illegal migrant “invaders” into the city.
State House Rep. Matt Maddock made the claim Wednesday night in a social media post accompanied by photos of three buses near an Allegiant plane at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Maddock wrote that the buses “just loaded up with illegal invaders.”

“Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?” the Republican wrote on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter. Maddock describes himself as Michigan’s “most conservative state representative” in his profile on the platform.
Four college basketball teams traveling to Detroit for the second weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament arrived by plane Wednesday evening, the Wayne County Airport Authority said in a statement. The “buses seen in a photograph circulating online were transporting the basketball teams and their respective staffs,” the statement added.
 
A Rich White Georgia Republican vote 9-Fucking times and he gets a slap on the wrist.

Meanwhile in Tex-Ass, Crystal Mason receives a 5-Year Sentence after being acuused of Election Fraud. Her sentence was overturned, it seems she NOT broken and she had the Right To Vote.


A Texas appeals court on Thursday overturned the illegal voting conviction of Crystal Mason, who was given a five-year prison sentence for casting a provisional ballot in the 2016 election while on supervised release for federal tax evasion.

The decision by the Tarrant County-based Second Court of Appeals means she is formally acquitted of the felony voting charge. The court said in the decision that there was no evidence Mason knew she was ineligible to vote when she cast her ballot — which is a condition that must be met in order to convict her of illegal voting.

Mason has maintained throughout the seven-year case that she did not know she was ineligible and would not have risked her freedom if she had. She said Thursday in a statement that her long legal fight, which gained international attention, was devastating.

According to the story she did the crime even libs choose not to care
 
What’s the surprise? There is not a conspiracy theory too outlandish or too inane that MAGAs won’t embrace.

Notable in the AP news story is that this bloke, Representative Maddock, is married to one of the Republicans, the former co-chair of the state's Republican Party, who was indicted in Michigan for the fraudulent Electoral College conspiracy directed by the White House in late 2020 after Don Trump was beaten in the general election.

So Rep. Maddock's Gonzaga debacle is typical for his corner of the fringie-MAGA-land.
