Michigan Trump Republicans event draws protest

By CHETALI JAIN

Summer Daily News Editor

As 
nationwide 
censure 
of 

President Donald Trump and his 
controversial political acts rises, 
the Michigan Trump Republicans 

hoped to deflect attention from 
the criticisms and focus instead on 
rallying support for his reelection 
by holding meetings in multiple 
Michigan towns.

The Novi event, which was 

third in the group’s tour, was 
held Monday night at an IHOP 

restaurant to give Donald Trump 
supporters a chance to show 
their continued approval of the 
president and learn of ways to get 
involved with Trump Republicans.

The meeting also drew in 

members of the Metro Detroit 
Political Action Network, who 

gathered outside the IHOP to 
oppose the event taking place 
inside and garnered the support of 
drivers who honked to show their 
solidarity with the anti-Trump 
protesters.

Inside the restaurant, Meshawn 

Maddock, co-creator of Michigan 
Trump Republicans, emphasized 
the group’s goals to elect Trump 
Republicans to offices, including 
her 
husband 
Matt 
Maddock 

who is running for local state 
representative. 
She 
said 
an 

additional goal was to stand in 
opposition to Indivisible, a group 
with over 800 localized branches 
in Michigan dedicated to resisting 

Donald Trump’s agenda.

“So really, the Michigan Trump 

Republicans was formed to be 
the anti-venom for Indivisible,” 
Meshawn Maddock said. “I want 
(my husband) to have a Republican 
governor… all the way down to city 
council … that’s the way to drain 
the swamp.”

Kevin Tatulyan, Coalitions Vice 

Chair of Michigan Republican 
party, lamented the backlash the 
president faced after the campaign 
was over and encouraged attendees 
not to trust liberals or Hollywood 
but rather their own hearts.

“Look at the media: Trump says 

‘make America great again,’ they 
say, ‘Trump’s a racist,’ ” Tatulyan 
said, as the crowd clapped in 
agreement. “... is this not 100 
percent true? This is ridiculous.”

Trump has also discussed his 

low tolerance of the media and 
news outlets such as CNN. The 
Michigan 
Trump 
Republicans 

share his distaste: volunteers wore 
“Fake News Network (FNN)” 
T-shirts, Maddock mentioned that 
they don’t like press to be present 
at events and a cameraman had 
been asked to leave once before.

The president has also been 

under 
scrutiny 
regarding 
his 

alleged 
ties 
to 
the 
Russian 

government and allegations the 
Russian state interfered with the 
2016 presidential election.

Marian 
Sheridan, 
leader 
of 

the Lakes Area Tea Party, said 
the claims were far-fetched and 
unsubstantiated.

“Show 
us 
the 
evidence,” 

Sheridan said.

According to The New York 

Times, Donald Trump Jr. had 
received an email saying that 
damaging information regarding 
Hillary Clinton was potentially a 
part of the Russian government’s 

effort to get Donald Trump elected 
as president, prior to Donald 
Trump’s son setting up a meeting 
with a Kremlin-associated Russian 
lawyer.

Joseph Fournier, a co-founder 

of MDPAN, felt that those involved 
in the event displayed support 
for a regime that did not support 
many underrepresented groups of 
U.S. citizens.

“It’s just really shocking that 

there 
are 
any 
businesses 
in 

this area in particular that feel 
comfortable endorsing an agenda 
which 
is 
openly 
fascist 
and 

bigoted,” Fournier said. “There 
is a cost if you publicly endorse 
hatred.”

When asked why he felt it 

important to lend a counter-
voice to the Michigan Trump 
Republicans event, Fournier said 
he is gay and the cause is personal 
for him.

“I am a human being,” Fournier 

said. “Can you imagine if a family 
brought their 13-year old gay son 
and he’s not out of the closet, and 
he’s sitting there in a den of people 
that are saying the kind of things 
those people are saying?”
