Calling Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel, and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson "witches" who needed to be "burned at the stake." Joking about "assassinating" Republican Congressmen Peter Meijer and Fred Upton because they voted to impeach Trump.
These are just a few of the recent remarks from Ron Weiser, Chair of the Michigan Republican Party and a University of Michigan Regent. This rhetoric isn't just preposterous — it's dangerous.
Friend, will you add your name to the growing number of Michiganders calling for Ron Weiser's resignation and for his name to be removed from University of Michigan buildings?
ADD YOUR NAME Ever since Ron Weiser's vitriolic remarks went viral, GOP officials have rushed to his defense and one even said it was "refreshing" and "totally appropriate."
Until Ron Weiser is held accountable, far-right extremists will continue to act as if they hold a permission slip from Republican leaders to openly engage in vile rhetoric that can lead to political violence.
Without a strong Democratic response, that radicalism will continue to grow and spread. So please, sign our petition calling for Ron Weiser's resignation from the University of Michigan's Board of Regents and for his name to be removed from any building.
Thanks for speaking out,
Michigan Dems
