25 duly-elected RNC delegates and alternate delegates from the state of Michigan have signed a resolution urging President Donald Trump to rescind the endorsement of former U.S. Congressman Mike Rogers.
“Rogers represents the worst of what the Republican Party stood for prior to the rise of Donald J. Trump, and Rogers becoming the U.S. Senate candidate would be a backslide back toward the days of neoconservatism and globalism,” the resolution states.
Rogers is running for U.S. Senate and has received the endorsement for Trump. This has caused tremendous outrage among the grassroots conservatives of Michigan, who are already divided and fractured after a year of tumultuous leadership battles across the Republican Party. Recently, 1100 America First conservatives signed a letter circulated by the Rescue Michigan Coalition protesting Trump’s controversial decision.
The resolution states that “the Republican Party has no place for elected leaders who serve special interests and refuse to prioritize the interests of America above all else” and “urges Donald Trump to rescind his endorsement of Mike Rogers and support a strong conservative for the Republican nomination of U.S. Senator.”
Big League Politics has reported on Mike Rogers’ history of making comments against President Trump before it became politically expedient for Rogers to masquerade as a Trump supporter:
“Michigan U.S. Senate contender Mike Rogers is now touting himself as a Trump conservative, releasing a supposed endorsement of President Trump as he attempts to become the Republican nominee for the position in 2024…
“I have no doubt President Trump will be able to deliver for the American people on day one, but we must get to work now,” Rogers wrote in in a Daily Caller op/ed. “Let’s unite as Americans and do our part in keeping America strong, safe, secure, and prosperous.”
However, before it was obvious that Trump would be the presidential nominee and it became politically advantageous to endorse him, Rogers was singing a different tune.
During an interview with CBS News in April 2023, Rogers was asked if he would support Trump if he became the nominee. Rogers refused to answer and stated frankly that Trump would not be the nominee in 2024.
“I don’t believe today as I’m sitting here that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee in 2024. Don’t believe it… He may actually stay in for awhile. I just don’t think I believe he will be [the nominee]. His troubles are mounting, his fundraising is waning,” Rogers said…
Rogers has an extensive history of serving the U.S. intelligence apparatus, more commonly known as the “Deep State.” He was a former FBI agent and then became a U.S. Congressman, serving as Chairman of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee where he advocated passionately for the illegal federal spying policies that would be used to frame Trump as a Russian agent and undermine his presidency.
Before Rogers attempted to re-invent himself as a pro-Trump Republican, he was considering a presidential run in 2024 and spoke openly of his contempt for Trump. Rogers told the Washington Post that he believed “Trump’s time has passed,” declared that “Biden was lawfully elected to the presidency,” and called Trump’s tactics “clearly destructive.’”
