As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis did a series of events in the state of Michigan on Thursday, he touted a list of presidential endorsements – even though he is not yet legally allowed to run for president – from some of the state’s most infamous RINOs.
DeSantis is endorsed by some of the most prominent GOP establishment leaders in the Michigan House and Senate, including a lawmaker who signed onto a report claiming no election fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential election and another two lawmakers who supported Democrat legislation giving “civil rights” to transgenders without any religious freedom amendments.
The full list of DeSantis presidential endorsements from Michigan Republican figures can be seen here:
DeSantis is endorsed by Michigan Sen. Lana Theis, a lawmaker who signed onto a report that denied election fraud in the 2020 presidential election and actually called for Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel to investigate attorneys and figures who challenged election fraud.
The 2021 report, signed off on by Theis, called for Nessel to investigate “those who have been utilizing misleading and false information…to raise money or publicity for their own ends.” The report was little more than a veiled hit piece against MAGA Republicans and personally called out Trump-endorsed Michigan Attorney General candidate Matt DePerno for coming to “illogical conclusions” regarding election fraud that were “demonstrably false and based on misleading information.”
“Citizens should demand reasonable updates and reforms to close real vulnerabilities and unlawful activities that caused much of the doubt and questionability to flourish and could, if unchecked, be responsible for serious and disastrous fraud or confusion in the future,” the report stated.
Theis released a statement lauding DeSantis as the man who she believes should be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024.
“America’s greatest days are still ahead of her if we as a nation are willing to stand together and bring a new generation of leadership to the helm. We need a leader who is unafraid, strong in conviction, and will never back down,” Theis said.
“That leader is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He is battle tested, has a record of success that grew Florida’s economy, and protected the rights of Florida families. He is the best person to beat Joe Biden in 2024. That is why I whole-heartedly endorse Governor Ron DeSantis for President of the United States,” she added.
Two other Republican state senators who endorsed DeSantis for President – Sens. Joe Bellino and Michael Warren – recently joined the Democrats to pass an expansion of the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to apply to all members of the LGBT movement, including transgenders and potentially pedophiles.
“For too long, LGBTQ+ Michiganders had been left out of our state’s civil rights protections. No longer. Because of this ruling, nobody can legally be fired from their job or evicted from their home because of who they love,” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said after she signed the measure into law.
Sens. Bellino and Warren voted to approve the legislation even after amendments were rejected to protect religious liberty and to explicitly make clear that pedophilia is not protected as a sexual orientation.
“According to research by the Michigan Catholic Conference, every state that has expanded its civil rights laws to include sexual orientation and gender identity has included religious protections. These states include California, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, Oregon and Washington. Without my amendments, Michigan would be an extreme outlier even among our nation’s most liberal states. This is the wrong direction for Michigan,” Michigan Sen. Jim Runestad said after his amendment to add religious liberty was rejected.
Pro-groomer Michigan Rep. Noah Arbit angrily and forcefully expressed his opposition to an amendment to the Elliott-Larsen Act that would have explicitly banned pedophilia as a sexual orientation, paving the way for so-called “minor-attracted persons” to receive civil rights under the act as the LGBT movement rapidly approaches its endgame of total degeneracy:
Big League Politics has reported on how a tenured operative from the prestigious DeVos family of Michigan is leading one of the Super PACs that is fueling DeSantis’ shadow presidential candidacy:
“The billion-dollar DeVos network is rallying around Florida Governor Ron DeSantis heading into the 2024 presidential race as various tentacles of the globalist establishment declare DeSantis to be their man.
A new dark money front group, And to the Republic, has been founded by DeVos operative Tori Sachs and has already hosted events across the country promoting DeSantis in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. An operative close to the organization told POLITICO that they were “proud to help host the events…featuring Governor Ron DeSantis that put a spotlight on those state policies that are working and those that are clearly not working.”
Sachs previously worked for prominent DeVos front groups operating within their home base of Michigan, such as the Michigan Freedom Fund and Michigan Rising Action. These fronts have served to incubate the anti-Trump movement within the state’s Republican Party, sowing dissent and discord among the grassroots, and adding to the fractured nature of the Party that resulted in drastic losses during the 2022 midterm elections…
The DeVos network has been behind the sabotage of the America First movement in Michigan, insiders claim, after the DeVos network heavily pressured their preferred candidate for governor, Tudor Dixon, to receive Trump’s endorsement last year.
Former Trump Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who turned her back on Trump and resigned from her cabinet position after Jan. 6, sent a hand-written solicitation to Trump last year in order to persuade him to endorse Tudor Dixon…
