In a secretly-recorded video, the GOP’s top Michigan state senator called the Capitol insurrection a “hoax,” said he’s “spanked” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on the budget and has contemplated inviting Whitmer “to a fistfight on the Capitol lawn.”
Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, met personally with the Hillsdale County Republican Party leaders, but even that wasn’t enough to save him from being censured by the group for straying from “conservative values.”
