Michigan GOP legislator posted about ‘illegal invaders’ at Detroit airport. It was Gonzaga’s March Madness team
A Republican state representative in Michigan, Rep. Matt Maddock, claimed on social media on Wednesday night that he had photo evidence of “illegal invaders” arriving at Detroit Metro Airport. One of the two photos Maddock posted on the platform called X, formerly known as Twitter, showed an Allegiant Air plane. The other photo showed three buses. Maddock wrote: “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?”
Facts First: Maddock’s claim is false. The buses were not for “illegal invaders”; they were for the men’s college basketball teams that landed at the Detroit airport to compete in the NCAA tournament known as March Madness. The only Allegiant Air flight to the airport on Wednesday was a charter flight that carried the team from Gonzaga University, which plays Purdue University on Friday.

Maddock continued to dig in on Thursday morning. He wrote a new post saying, “We know this is happening” and that hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are “pouring into our country.” He added: “Since we can’t trust the #FakeNews to investigate, citizens will. The process of investigating these issues takes time.”

Why does the media keep doing this? The company wants to be known as X, no need to explain any further.

He's married to former Michigan Republican Party Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock, who was one of 15 false GOP electors from 2020 charged with fraud.

Meanwhile as they’ve already proven in spades is that the hatred of Republican politicians for migrants is all theater for their flyover hillbilly racist-boob voters.
Even the democrats conceded on the border the republicans ran away from their own fucking border fix. Why? They don’t actually want a fix. They are the party of the ultra rich and need that cheap labor to keep flowing.

Because when someone writes X it can stand for many different things or even be taken as a placeholder. Plus fuck Elon and his stupid rebrand.
