    Head of Michigan GOP voted out.

    So, her own party voted her out of the GOP and she decided to pull a Trump move and call it fake. Guess that is going to be the standard GOP go to play when the vote doesn't go their way.

    Michigan GOP Head Refuses to Leave After Vote for Her Ouster

    The chair of the Michigan Republican Party was voted out Saturday by Republicans who accused her of fueling dysfunction within the party—but she claims the vote was “illegitimate” and refuses to acknowledge her ouster.

    On the eve of the vote, Kristina Karamo, who gained GOP stardom by denying that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election, repeatedly described the push to remove her as an “illegal” plot hatched up by “rogue” members of the state Republican Party.

    In a podcast promoted by the party on Friday, she called the announcement of the impending vote a “false narrative to promote illegal actions by some rogue and disgruntled individuals within the party.”

    “They will destroy what they can’t control,” she complained, adding that her foes within the party “don’t have the votes to remove me.”
    By Saturday afternoon, however, members of the party claimed they’d had more than enough votes to boot Karamo from the party’s highest position.

    “With over 88% of the members that were present and voting, we have taken the first step to engage and protect the various voices and liberties of all Republicans... we have voted to remove Kristina Karamo as the Chair of the Michigan Republican Party,” Bree Moeggenberg, District 2 state committeewoman, announced in a statement on Facebook.

    Moeggenberg said General Counsel Dan Hartman’s participation in the meeting guaranteed the vote was legitimate. Karamo, however, shrugged off the whole thing, telling the Detroit News: “It was an illegitimate meeting. Their performance has no legal standing. I am still chair of the Michigan Republican Party.”

    The chaos surrounding the vote seems likely to tee up a legal battle over control of the state GOP ahead of Michigan’s presidential primary. As dozens of party members voted to remove her on Saturday, supporters gathered outside and likened the vote to an “insurrection” or “psyop,” according to the Detroit News.

    Karamo’s critics, who’ve blamed her for party “chaos” and financial problems, cheered the vote but conceded that it’s probably the start of a larger court showdown. Supporters of Karamo have said an “official” party meeting that is actually “valid” is scheduled for Jan. 13.

    The self-destruction of the GOP continues.

    I'm surprised she didn't sue to challenge the results before the vote even happened.

    Again.

    Big "notice me, senpai" energy coming off of Karamo.

    "NU UH I CANT HEAR YOU LALALALALALAA!" - Karamo, probably.

    It's so reassuring that half of our political spectrum has become 5-year-olds.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    The saddest part is, despite all this dysfunction and clearly pants-on-head insanity, they'll still probably get loads of votes this year.

    Karamo already has a thread and is not noteworthy enough to deserve another.
