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?”
