Michigan GOP Gov Frontrunner Arrested


We mentioned last week that after the top GOP candidates for the Michigan governor's race were stripped from the ballot over forged signatures, the remaining at least nominal frontrunner (poll leaders in most recent poll) was a guy named Ryan Kelley, who was literally part of the mob that stormed the Capitol building on January 6th and had a lot of connections to the guys who plotted to kidnap and murder Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Well, he just got arrested by the FBI. No details yet on what the charges are or why he was taken into custody.

See Also: CNN correspondent Whitney Wild downplayed the violent threat against Justice Brett Kavanaugh's life and warned about political violence from both sides, after an armed man was arrested outside the justice's home, Wednesday.  

11:49 AM: Kelley's arrest was part of a raid on his home and stems from his actions breaching the Capitol complex on January 6th. Charges forthcoming.

"I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here, as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we're all living in, benefiting from, possibly being brought to his knees, is whether or not they can make people care," says Alcindor. "The American public has been groomed to expect high value quick entertainment," says McQuade. "I think putting together a polished show can be very important."

CNN analyst says Trump CPAC speech sounded like HITLER, and scripted by PUTIN

CNN went wayyy over the top today in responding to Trump’s CPAC speech, with this comparison to Hitler. Cuz we can’t get enough of that and it definitely persuades people, right?

Watch below:

Transcript from Mediaite:
Vinograd said on CNN this afternoon, “His statement makes me sick, on a personal level, preserving your heritage, reclaiming our heritage, that sounds a lot like a certain leader that killed members of my family and about six million other Jews in the 1940s.”
OK then.
“By the way, this whole CPAC speech, how many pieces, parts of President Putin’s to-do list was President Trump trying to accomplish today? He denigrated our institutions, the Department of Justice and U.S. Congress, he spread misinformation and conspiracy theories, he undermined the credibility of several of our institutions, he sewed divisions, he sewed confusion, he was speaking to his base but he was also saying things that really looked like Vladimir Putin scripted his speech. So it helped him perhaps with his base, and politically, while at the same time, making Russia’s job a lot easier.”
Well, yeah. But it’s not illegal to have a foreign policy that aligns up with Putin’s global stratagems. And people voted for it. So make your case that he’s wrong, argue your side, don’t just whine about what has been pretty obvious since before the presidential election.
