Ousted Michigan GOP Chair Kristina Karamo Disputes Removal, Warns Other State Leaders
Amid leadership confusion, Karamo calls on RNC members to push for her reinstatement.
- Former Michigan GOP leader Kristina Karamo has been ousted from her position amid criticisms over her leadership, particularly a lack of fundraising and a generally dire financial situation.
- Karamo disputes her removal, claiming the meeting in which the decision was made was 'illegal.' The RNC conducted a review of the removal process and determined that it had been carried out correctly.
- Karamo has issued a warning to other state Republican Party leaders, telling them that they too could be subjected to removal in the same manner that she claims she was.
- Both Karamo and Pete Hoekstra now say they’re the current party chair in Michigan, adding to the confusion of who’s actually in charge.
- Karamo is now asking the RNC’s 168 members to push back against their own lawyers’ advice and urge her full reinstatement as Michigan’s lone GOP chair.
