Michigan GOP leader: state is 'ground zero for the globalist takeover'

[RandySF]

Three days after delegates elected her to lead the Michigan Republican Party, Kristina Karamo reaffirmed her belief in a conspiracy theory, claiming shadowy forces are working to achieve global domination right here in Michigan.

“What prompted me to run for chair of the Michigan Republican Party is the fact that Michigan has become ground zero for the globalist takeover of the United States of America,” she said in the interview.

Karamo was a guest on the podcast Bannon’s War Room Feb. 21, which is hosted by former President Donald Trump’s one-time strategist Steve Bannon. A study from the left-leaning Brookings Institution found his program was the top spreader of misinformation among popular podcasts since 2020. Nearly 20% of the episodes reviewed by researchers contain claims categorized as false or misleading by independent fact-checkers PolitiFact and Snopes......

The theory Karamo alluded became popular in fringe conspiracy circles during the COVID-19 pandemic. It claims the World Economic Forum and the United Nations are in cahoots, working to establish a single, global government. Former Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey echoed the same beliefs in his farewell speech last December.

1. Fruitcakes

Michigan is full of these right wing fruitcakes.

I can’t wait to tell them that the United Nations has designated me to round them all up and put them in camps.

2. "Proceed, Governor."

Sheesh, at this rate it will be fifty years before another Republican wins a statewide Michigan office.

3. Michigan is on its way to an eventual Democratic supermajority.

Just like California.
