LANSING, Mich. â A candid conversation was caught on a hot mic on Michiganâs Senate floor Wednesday.
Republican State Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake seemingly doubling down on his belief in a conspiracy theory about the U.S. Capitol rioters, while talking with Michigan Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist.
“This is just crazy,” Tapper tweeted. In a video posted on Twitter, Progress Michigan Deputy Director Sam Inglot caught up with Shirkey outside of a fundraiser Wednesday morning and asked the Senate’s top Republican if he planned “to heed some of the calls” to resign. “No, I don’t have any plans for that,” Shirkey said. When Inglot asked whether he still believed the insurrection was a hoax, Shirkey admitted, “The event was very real and very unfortunate,” but insisted Trump was not responsible for the attack. Then, without a face covering, he walked into a building where a sign read, No mask, no entry, it s the law.
