But don't worry, MDP Chair Lavora Barnes was sure to set the record straight, as highlighted by the Michigan Advance:
Then, to close out the week, news broke that MAGA Matt's own caucus - led by Rep. Jim DeSana - is questioning his leadership over the abuse allegations. As if it wasn't bad enough that the state Republican Party is in shambles, now it looks like the House caucus may soon be dealing with their very own vote over leadership…
