Michigan Republicans Whip Votes to Remove State GOP Chair Kristina Karamo

Back in June, Oakland County Republican Party chairman Vance Patrick had a simple request for his state GOP chairwoman Kristina Karamo. Former president Donald Trump was coming to town for a county GOP fundraiser, and he’d like her to promote the event.

“Good morning, I was hoping you could put our Lincoln dinner event on the MiGOP web site [sic]. That’s what I wanted to discuss,” Patrick texted her on June 6, according to messages reviewed by National Review. One day later, he texted her again: “Good morning Amber sent over our flyer a couple weeks ago for our TRUMP event. Who specifically should she be sending it to to get it on the MIGOP calendar.”
