Spouse of Michigan Fake Elector warns of Civil War

An audio recording obtained by The Messenger highlights just how dire the Republicans charged in the 2020 election scheme – and the people around them – see their fight

When Michigan State Rep. Matt Maddock took the stage at an Oakland County fundraising pool party in early August – a recording of which was obtained exclusively by The Messenger – he had a clear message he wanted to convey: If the government keeps coming after conservatives, someone is going to get shot or a civil war is going to begin.

Matt Maddock – whose wife, Meshawn Maddock, is a former co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party and one of the 16 fake electors who state attorney general Dana Nessel criminally charged in July – painted a bleak picture of how some conservatives plan to respond to the charges.

“If the government continues to weaponize these departments against conservatives and the citizens that are then the taxpayers, you know what's going to happen to this country,” Matt Maddock asks, according to the audio obtained by The Messenger. After attendees at the event shout possibilities, Maddock answers his own question: “Someone's going to get so pissed off, they're going to shoot someone. That's what's going to happen. Or we're going have a civil war or some sort of revolution. That's where this is, where this is going.”

They're "going after" criminals, not "conservatives." And this kind of threat is so obvious. spooky3 Aug 2023 #3
To be fair, "conservative" now seems to be a euphemism for "criminal" OAITW r.2.0 Aug 2023 #8

When they know they have no legal leg to stand on, they feel powerless, so they try to claim power by using illegal, violent means.

fake elector docs, it's no cause for a civil war. Others weren't stupid enough to sign phony docs sent to the Congress and National Archives for perpetuity for all to witness the abject stupidity of some morons.

Burns me up that these supremely dumb people don't want accountability for their own stupidity.

They really think their sorry asses are important enough that more than 2 or 3 people are ready to die for them?

"civil war" against whom?

I mean there are no boundaries like the first one, so point 'yur gun at the Biden voter next door?

Buy all the Bud Light you can to shoot it?
Shoot anyone that doesn't wear the MAGA colors?

I mean, seriously...
