STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Opponents of Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/South Brooklyn) feel they need to hold her accountable a little over a month since she took office.
A group of residents in the district founded NICPAC, short for the “Nicole is Complicit Political Action Committee,” on Jan. 26, 20 days after supporters of former President Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol, and Malliotakis voted against the certification of votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania.
The top-ranking Republican in the state of Michigan told members of a GOP county group that he did not believe that most of those who took part in the attacks of the U.S. Capitol building last month were supporters of former President Donald Trump.
In spite of absolutely zero evidence existing to support such claims that have been made over the past month, Michigan’s Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R-Clarklake) suggested that the breach of the Capitol on January 6 was a faked event.
His comments were recorded and uploaded on YouTube by a member of that county’s GOP organization. Shirkey was facing censure from his party over his failure to do more to oppose Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
