I believe, this will seriously hinder him;

Ryan Kelley pushed to arrest lawmakers, then stormed the Capitol. Now he wants to be Michigan’s governor.

". . . His smile didn’t falter when the first viewer-solicited question popped on the screen.

“Ryan, why did you partake in an act of sedition on Jan. 6?”

The Allendale Township planning commissioner is a real estate agent and lifestyle vlogger who boosted his profile while organizing right-wing opposition to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s coronavirus orders. Throughout 2020, Kelley built a following among aggrieved Michiganders under the banner of the American Patriot Council, a group he co-founded with longtime friend and former classmate Jason Howland.

The APC’s message went beyond how best to manage the public health threat or reform election processes. Kelley organized rallies that embraced armed paramilitary groups, spread misinformation about COVID-19 and called for the arrest of Whitmer and other government officials they labeled traitors.

At least seven of the 14 men who were arrested for allegedly plotting to kidnap Whitmer and try her for treason attended American Patriot Council events. Kelley denounced the accused terrorists, though a blog posted to the APC website after the arrests were announced speculates that the would-be kidnappers were “planted by the left to defame good, law-abiding citizens.”

Political observers say Kelley’s candidacy may be a long-shot, but it represents a growing trend. Republican outsiders who cut their teeth on organizing outrage in a polarizing political climate believe they’re next in line to lead the GOP.

Allendale Township Planning Commissioner Ryan Kelley takes part in an American Patriot Council rally in Allendale Township on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020. The American Patriot Council held a rally at Allendale Community Park to support President Donald Trump and resist socialism while Justice for Black Lives held an opposing rally outside Allendale Township Hall to demand the removal of Kelley from the commission because of his alleged ties to militia members charged in the plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. (Cory Morse | MLive.com)Cory Morse | MLive.com

It’s yet to be seen whether Kelley’s participation in the Capitol siege will disqualify him from Michigan’s top office.

Kelley’s activities on Jan. 6 are well documented in videos published by multiple sources. MLive reviewed footage posted to YouTube and Parler for this report. Kelley downplayed his role in the violent riot in interviews, though the footage shows he was among a mob that muscled past Capitol Police into restricted areas.

Video footage places Kelley near the front of a crowd that stood face-to-face with police on the west side of the Capitol around 1:27 p.m. Roughly 15 minutes later, the mob clashed with officers and broke the police line. Kelley held his phone up to record the melee.. . . . "
 
There are no risks to vaccinations. If you want to vote against Gretchen that's cool, but please don't throw away your vote for that cretin.
