🔥MSU Trustee Mike Balow on the recent scandals: “I don’t know of anything more offensive than to have the attitude of, ‘Well we know best. We are going to keep the truth in-house, and anyone who dares keep talking about a controversial issue is going to be censured.’”

As Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party—fresh off what many have called the most well-run convention in over the last 20 years—I feel compelled to express my deepest, most heartfelt concern for my former Senate colleague, Curtis Hertel. Truly, no one should have to endure the kind of hardship he’s facing now: members of his own party—Attorney General, senators, prosecutors—all calling for audits, recounts, and investigations of his convention. The stress must be overwhelming. I see he’s assembling a committee to “review the process,” and in the spirit of bipartisanship—and basic human compassion—I am prepared to step forward and serve. Yes, I’m willing to put politics aside and join this effort to get to the bottom of this… tragic situation. If there’s anything we can do to help restore order, confidence, and—most importantly—Curtis’s job security during this difficult time, we stand ready to assist. After all, helping Democrats manage their conventions may be the most charitable act we can offer. - MIGOP Chairman Jim Runestad

‼️State sponsored terrorist networks have NO place in Michigan!

‼️Tax payer dollars should go to tax paying citizens! No more endless benefits for Illegals!

@FreeTheMitten I’ve always opposed any tax increases.

@RunWithRunestad How about suspending the gas tax you know they raised and screwed us on Jim.

The Michigan Republican Party issued a demand today that the Democrat office holders give back Faye Beydouns dirty money. They already started complying today!

@MJZ2112 The process is when you know you’ve got dirty money from a corrupt operation. You donate back the money to the taxpayers who are the ones who have the loss.

@RunWithRunestad Indictments have been filed. There is a process that needs to proceed. You know this. You're just being inflammatory. #RealNews

@bnchofnumbers You are correct. So often these charities are incestuous with the left and the money gets routing back to the same officeholder who gave it.

@RunWithRunestad Giving the money to charity? It’s the taxpayers hard earned money Jim.

@Patrick98109645 @MIGOP @sweethomemich Well, this time they stepped into a rattlesnakes nest and they’re gonna have to come clean

@MIGOP @sweethomemich Nice presser and modern form but it will never happen and we all know it

🚨 BREAKING: The Michigan Republican Party demands that corrupt Democrat elites—including Gretchen Whitmer, Dana Nessel, Jocelyn Benson, and Michigan Democrat congressional officeholders—return all the dirty money they received from Fay Beydoun. We are already seeing results. Congresswoman Hillary Scholten has agreed to donate this dirty money to charity. In 2021, Beydoun secured a $25 million taxpayer grant after making multiple $50,000 donations—some far exceeding Michigan’s $7,150 contribution limit.

@IrishLady0071 @MIGOP Agreed!

@MIGOP Wait, why a charity and not the state treasury 😡😡😡

@H4ppyc4mp3r_ @MIGOP I think they’re gonna have to do that. The heat is too hot in the kitchen.

@MIGOP Don't send the money to a charity, just so it can be redirected back into their own pockets again! 🤦‍♂️ That grant money belongs to Michigan taxpayers! Send it back to Lansing, where it can be used to benefit Michigan taxpayers.

@crowsfeet98 @MIGOP I think you got that backwards. I think that was just ruled by the Supreme Court.

@MIGOP Here's scam. Republican led legislatures have pushed for maps that courts ruled discriminatory.

@WispererFi47390 @MIGOP I’m gonna be demanded to know which charities they are trying to give the money to. Likely those charities are routed back to them anyway. It needs to reimburse the taxpayers.

@MIGOP And make sure the money isn't donated to leftist charities. That's how democrats roll.

@valkyrie_517 @MIGOP This is one of the biggest scandals Michigan has seen in many years. They’re not gonna run and hide from these donations.

@MIGOP You morons won’t do a fuckin thing about it
