LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) Wednesday, Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II criticized Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R-Clarklake) for his recent comments regarding the governor and the recent siege on the U.S. Capitol.
According to Gilchrist, over the past year, Shirkey has developed a pattern of using sexist and inappropriate language in reference to the governor and her administration.
In April, Shirkey shared a stage with members of a violent militia group that later plotted to kidnap the Governor, went on to meet privately in his Capitol office with violent militia groups about their efforts to rail against Michiganâs government and recently claimed the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last month was a âhoax.â
