Michigan GOP Leaders Order State Police to Keep Pro-Trump Electors Out of Capitol Building
Pro-Trump electors were blocked from entering the Michigan capitol building this afternoon, with GOP leadership working with reviled Governor Gretchen Whitmer to block them from the chamber.
Even though at least one Michigan lawmaker – state representative Matthew Maddock of Milford – arrived to accompany the pro-Trump electors, their civil rights were violated and they were kept out of the chamber by state police anyway.

Earlier in the day, Republican leaders in the Michigan legislature made it clear that they were gung ho about enforcing the vote steal and doing the dirty work of Gov. Whitmer.
Republican house speaker Lee Chatfield of Levering issued a groveling, obsequious letter of submission stating that he opposes all efforts to draft pro-Trump electors:

Sources from inside the Michigan legislature have confirmed that it was in fact Republican leadership who deprived the pro-Trump electors of their rights and colluded with Democrats to enforce the steal:
????‼️????‼️ I have a source who works in the MI state legislature and they are filling me in on some stuff
According to the source, "It was the GOP leadership that conspired to keep the 2nd slate electors from the house floor today"— Mass Politics ⚖️ (@MArepublican18) December 14, 2020
"We all hate the governor but the reason their isn’t a 2nd slate of electors from Michigan rests with GOP leadership, not Whitmer"
It looks like fraudulent "Republicans" are the reason the second slate of electors were denied access to the capital ‼️‼️

It should come as no surprise that Republican leadership in Michigan is enforcing the steal considering it was a top House GOP attorney who certified the dubious vote last month, as Big League Politics has reported:
Earlier this week, Big League Politics reported on the cowardly Republicans on the state board of canvassers who signed off on a dubious vote even after dozens of conservative whistleblowers have come forth detailing a third-world gangster vote steal operation that occurred in the city of Detroit.
One Republican on the state board of canvassers, Norm Shinkle abstained from the vote, being too weak to actually oppose electoral impropriety. The other Republican on the state board of canvassers, Aaron Van Langevelde, actually voted with the Democrats to certify election results marred with improprieties and abnormalities.
“We have a clear legal duty to certify the results of the election, as shown by the returns that were given to us,” Van Langevelde said. “We cannot and should not go beyond that. As John Adams once said, ‘We are a government of laws, not men.’”
“This board needs to adhere to that principle and do its part to uphold the rule of law here today. This board must uphold the law and comply with our legal duty to certify this election,” he added.
Van Langevelde received a great deal of support from the liberal media. He also received the backing of the House Republican leadership in the state, who will keep him employed in his cushy role with the party for going along with the façade.
“Aaron has been a very valued member of this team and will continue to be next session,” said Republican Speaker-elect Jason Wentworth of Farwell.
Republican House Speaker Lee Chatfield of Clarklake praised Van Langevelde’s betrayal as a great example of “America at work.”
“As we have been saying consistently for weeks, the Legislature will uphold the law and respect this result as it works to improve the process for next time,” Chatfield said.
Van Langevelde works as a policy adviser and deputy legal counsel for the Michigan House Republican Policy Office. He was effectively carrying out policy from his GOP establishment masters when he joined Democrats to betray his oath of office earlier this week.
President Trump’s fight for electoral integrity is forcing the swamp rats to expose themselves to the public. The consequences could be dire for these co-conspirators who have sold their souls and disgraced their heroic ancestors when it mattered most.
