Up North Progressive

When the news broke yesterday afternoon that Attorney General Dana Nessel filed criminal charges against 16 fake electors who tried to overturn the 2020 election in Michigan illegally, the first name that popped into the Up North Progressive’s head was Gary Eisen.



Gary Eisen was the old 81st State House district rep in 2020. He signed the amicus brief for the dead-in-the-water Texas lawsuit that went to the Supreme Court. On the morning of December 14, 2020, he also had a radio interview with Lansing AM station WPHM. During this interview, Eisen hinted that the Michigan Republicans would use their constitutional plenary powers to toss a “hail mary” at the state capitol that day. He also said live on air, “Nope,” when asked if he could assure there would be no violence at the capitol.

We all know what happened next:



After the radio interview, the State Legislature punished Gary Eisen by stripping him of his committee assignments for the few remaining hours of the 2020 legislative session.

As we watched this group of people march to the capitol on December 14, 2020, only to be denied entry into the closed building, people wondered why Republicans kept trying to undermine an election that was ruled the most above-board free and fair election ever executed.

We found out a few weeks later the lengths Republicans would go to steal the 2020 election from the people who won – including the Republicans who won seats – because a narcissistic sociopathic septuagenarian insisted on lying that the election was rigged. Michigan’s 16 fake electors were part of a multi-step Republican plan.

That septuagenarian will be charged with more felonies soon.

About damn time. It will be good to see everyone else involved with the criminal conspiracy go down with him.
