Velshi: Michigan’s state GOP drama is cause for national attention

Michigan's state GOP is a chaotic mess of infighting with Trump loyalists on both sides. Given what we know about the role Michigan Republicans played in Trump's 2020 plot to overturn the election results, Ali Velshi warns every American who wants to make it out of 2024 with a democracy intact should be concerned.

Thank you to the Michigan State Police Officers, for honorably protecting our democracy, on that day.

[suejaracz]

Embarrassed that this happened in my state. My opinion has always been that they should be cooling their heels in prison for their attempt to over throw democracy.

[HikerBiker]

The GOP can't run their party, how they going to run a country? Oh right, they can't.

[davidelghammer]

That was one of our fine Michigan State Troopers. Thank you. Politely explaining that the real electors are all checked in thanks for dropping by. Unbelievable. Republican shame? Anyone? 😂

[leapingkitties]

None of those traitors were "duped" they all knew what they were doing. Both of those ahem, leaders, are corrupt and incompetent.
Vote for American Democracy and a return to normal, vote the maggats out.💙

[josielittle]

Wow unbelievable
And KUDOS for your reporting of these asinine lies. Keep getting the truth out there!

[ShariCrockerr]

If thats not TREASON, i couldnt imagine what defines the term.

[trevorhutchings]

How intelligent are Trump supporters though, they seem unable to distinguish lies from reality?. They simply accept that whatever he says is true. It's a real worry.

[Swnsasy]

The Republican party is the most amazing *CLOWN* Show ever seen..

[bitterpaul]

Kudos to that officer for his composure.

[brianvirnelson]

That’s the thing about election deniers, they refuse to accept election results. The Michigan GOP is reaping what they sowed.😂😂😂😂

[circuitman]

Those who still identify with the GOP but not Trump have to get off the pot. Time to start the Trump-free alternative and leave the plague-ridden remains of the once great GOP for good.

I live in Michigan lucky I’m a democrat, but these people need to be both removed. They’re both horrible for our state. I think it’s funny that oh she’s not gonna leave now. How do they like it ? when somebody denies a fair election !! how do they like it so much fun is it when you win and the other side denies you won that’s not so much fun now is it

[cindyloomis-torvi]

I would love to sit in one of Dr. Velshi’s classes. He’s an excellent teacher.

[ImperialRis]

It's a shame how many people broke the law for a loser DJT.

[Noreb]

how are republican voters not embarrassed by their party?

[Mr.Monta]

This is so sad. I’ve been to Michigan many times and have great friends there, all very intelligent and people of high integrity. Obviously not in the current GOP-madhouse.

[irenafarm]

What the actual duck is going on with GOP people?

[DannyHuntley-bdeg]

Thank you Mr.Velshi dynamic concise reporting.

It's a no brainer, but the Supreme Court need to let go of these stupid requests from Trump. The evidence needs to speak and be displayed to a jury. The Supreme Court knows this has gone way to far and should take their hands of these cases. If they are real judges they also would like to see and hear all the evidence instead of juggeling with words to stay out of the heat.
