GOP’s black best friend totally crazy
A never-ending story:
Karamo is a 36ish mother of two — her ex-husband claims that she threatened to kill herself and their children if he divorced her — who was the Michigan GOP’s candidate for Secretary of State in 2022. She lost by 14 points, but is still refusing to concede the election three and a half months later.
The funny/not-funny thing here is that she remains an utterly fanatical Trump supporter, even though Trump endorsed the equally unhinged Matthew DePerno for the state chairmanship over her.
Karamo’s nascent political career is built out of nothing more than her willingness to go on right wing media after the 2020 election and claim that she saw thousands of ballots being smuggled into a polling place in Detroit that she was “monitoring” in November of 2020.
Michigan appears to be going down the road of a lot of states, in which a coalition of urban and suburban voters are creating a solid Democratic majority, while the rural and exurban parts of the state might as well be north Alabama. In this sort of context, the state’s Republican party is going to be increasingly radicalized.
