Some Michigan Republicans voted on Jan. 6 to remove state GOP Chairwoman Kristina Karamo at a state committee meeting. However, the action was quickly denounced by the state’s Republican Party, which called it illegal.
A Jan. 6 statement bearing the letterhead of the Michigan Republican Party claimed that Ms. Karamo was removed from her post and that Malinda Pego, who served as the co-chair of the party, will be the acting chair. The statement was issued by Ms. Pego, according to a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, by investigative journalist Laura Loomer.
