Michigan MAGA Republican state Rep. Matt Maddock is under fire after claiming three buses were “loaded up with illegal invaders.” The buses, according to multiple reports, were actually loaded with the Gonzaga University basketball team arriving for March Madness.
“Happening right now. Three busses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?” Rep. Maddock wrote on social media Wednesday evening, tagging far-right former U.S. Congressman Pete Hoekstra, who served as U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands under Donald Trump and is now the state’s Republican Party chair.
The Gonzaga team should sue him for defamation.
They have to show damages. This idiot is the only one who was damaged by his racism
Nah, they had their image tarnished for political shenanigans, they can sue. Basketball players livelihoods come from how sponsors and the public view them. If the next game they play shows declining ticket sales from historic data they can take him to the bank.
Gee, that’d work for sure if they were American college athletes who are famous for receiving their share of ticket sales.
Ah my apologies I didn’t know they were slaves. /big_sarcasm
That’s your take? Lol
