A Black Republican in Michigan declared that if he wins the 2022 gubernatorial race, he would replace Black History Month with “American History Month.”
Austin Chenge, a Black Army veteran, businessman, and the first Republican opponent to throw his hat in the political ring against incumbent Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich.), announced via Twitter that he would cancel Black History Month on Monday.
“I will cancel #BlackHistoryMonth in #Michigan. It’s offensive, unfair, maybe illegal… Americans from all backgrounds deserve a revered history. I’ll declare American History Month. Austin Chenge, #Veteran & First #Republican Gov #Candidate for MI. Visit http://austinforgovernor.com”
Man Who Stormed Capitol Threatened To Assassinate Democrat AOC

A Texas man who participated in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 was charged Saturday. He had made death threats against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
Garret Miller, 36, from the Dallas suburb of Richardson, was arrested Wednesday after weeks of using social media platforms to reply to various political figures with bellicose statements and discussing his actions in the attack. According to court documents, Miller threatened the police officer who shot one of the rioters.
On Jan. 6, Ocasio-Cortez shared a tweet that read, “Impeach.”
“Assassinate AOC,” Miller replied using his now-suspended Twitter account.
Mr Trump last week made history as the only US president to be impeached twice and is due to face a Senate trial to decide if he will be convicted of inciting an insurrection.
State Sen. Amanda Chase railed hard against colleagues in the Virginia Senate Thursday for considering the possibility of censuring her for “disorderly behavior” by attending the Jan. 6 pro-Trump rally in Washington that ended with a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.
