Michigan Republicans go Jerry Springer on each other at a hotel bar
Police responded to an altercation at a hotel bar in Clare, Michigan, but this wasn’t your standard drunken bar altercation. According to Bridge Michigan, the people involved are all leaders of the Michigan Republican Party. The sloppy altercation came the night before the Michigan GOP’s new state central committee’s first official meeting.
Police say Kalamazoo Republican Party Chair Kelly Sackett and Macomb County Republican Secretary Melissa Pehlis were separated after the two had a verbal argument that got a little bit physical. The nature of the argument seems to be connected to a power struggle going on within the Republican Party of Michigan between supporters of the new QAnon-y, election-denying chairperson for the Republican Party, Kristina Karamo, and her former buddy Matthew DePerno.
Below you can see roughly two minutes of video showing the altercation. And yes, it is going viral.
