Above, Abdul El-Sayed will compete in the Michigan Democratic primary against Rep. Haley Stevens to be the US Senate nominee to replace the retiring Gary Peters.
Below, John James is the Trump endorsed candidate in the Republican primary for Michigan Governor.
Voting is on August 4th.
John James’ response is in lockstep with other MAGA politicians like Reps. Tom Tiffany (WI-07), Brad Finstad (MN-01), Tom Emmer (MN-06), Michelle Fischbach (MN-07), Glenn Grothman (WI-06), and Pete Stauber (MN-08). They believe Canada is derelict in its forest management and sent a truly asinine letter to Canada’s ambassador to the US last July excoriating Canada and demanding to know what Canada is going to do about it. Their simple-minded, accusatory attack is not surprising. They are all climate deniers and there is not a shred of recognition that wildfires are driven by climate change or that maybe, just maybe, we have some responsibility. Nor do they acknowledge that we are all in this together (especially folks in the Great Lakes states) and we should be working in partnership with Canada to address this massive problem. It does nobody any good to go all South Park and just blame Canada. I will close with a gratuitous shot at one of the MAGA politicians. I know one of these guys personally – and I won’t say who – but he is a truly loathsome creep.
