Michigan GOP chair laughs off Holocaust tweet, proves Republicans are still hopelessly out of touch

Michigan is one of the handful of swing states that are key to both parties’ 2024 electoral prospects, and so you’d think both parties would be keen to find leaders who could help deliver its 15 electoral votes. But in February of this year, Wolverine State Republicans went another way, tapping Kristina Karamo, a prominent election denier, bonkers anti-vaxxer, extreme forced-birther, and big-time proven loser, as its newest chair.

And now Karamo—who lost her 2022 bid for Michigan secretary of state to Democrat Jocelyn Benson by a gaudy 14% (and refused to concede)—is proving that the Michigan GOP’s faith in her was not misplaced. They wanted a frothing, wild-eyed radical with a tenuous grip on reality who knows next to nothing about winning elections, and that’s what they got. And that’s not all! She’s also a huge fan of deeply offensive Holocaust tweets! 

Score another big win for shambolic evil.
