Violent brawl breaks out at Michigan GOP committee meeting
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
W hile the scuffles may be verbal as leading Republicans jostle to become the party’s 2024 presidential nominee, down at the state level things have actually turned physical — at least in Michigan , and not for the first time.
Tensions boiled over within the Michigan Republican Party on Saturday resulting in an altercation at a hotel to which the police were called.
The GOP’s state committee came together for a meeting at the Doherty Hotel in Clare as members have been feuding over the party’s direction and the leadership approach of the new chairwoman, Kristina Karamo, The Detroit News reports
Some Michigan Republicans arriving at the venue on Saturday were frustrated to find the meeting was limited only to members of the state committee and was taking place be
In an interview with The Detroit News , James Chapman, a Republican from Wayne County, said he had traveled to Clare for the meeting but was forced to listen to it through a locked door.
Mr. Chapman said he and others said the Pledge of Allegiance together in the lobby outside the meeting, after which he jiggled the doorknob of the meeting room.
It was then that Mark DeYoung, chairman of the Clare County Republican Party, approached the door, saw someone flip him off through a small window, and opened it.
“He kicked me in my balls as soon as I opened the door,” Mr DeYoung said, adding that Mr Chapman ran at him and slammed him into a chair.

MTG and Boebert would be proud.
the next 16 months of the GOP civil war will be very entertaining. hopefully their internecine conflict will rapidly progress from 1st amendment altercations on to some of the next amendments.
I heard that the MI GOP is bringing in MTG to officiate the next brawl.
mtg is only qualified to perform 1 type of job on this planet...
Yet another example of disfunction in the GOP. What a mess.
small donor skirmishes. the real carnage won't start until the holiday season.
Disfunction at it's finest.
Lock people out, give them the finger, then kick them in the balls...
By the way, vote with us...
LOL, there ya go, Ender.
"we don't care if they're criminally insane conspiracy wackjobs, you need to support the republican party..." /s
This is worth at least two jumbo boxes of popcorn, Bob.
... more like a popcorn factory.
I'd thought that guns were supposed to create a more civil society. Don't they allow guns in the GOP state committee meetings?
They would rather to it the old-fashioned way, a kick in the balls.
Lol …. Sounds about right for politicians.
... on the right.
The lack of intellect contained in that response is mind boggling ….
