“We’re so divided,” a member of the state’s Republican party said from the hospital, according to The Detroit News. “I just wish we could come together”

    Mark DeYoung, who chairs the Clare County Republican Party, said he heard Chapman’s attempt to enter the room and opened the door after seeing someone flip him the bird through a window. “He kicked me in my balls as soon as I opened the door,” DeYoung said of Chapman, speaking to The Detroit News by phone from the emergency room.

    Both parties are not the same.

      You can smell the testosterone supplements from this description alone. The door was locked and everything was under control… But DeYoung couldn’t let a middle finger stand so he opened the door. For what? To shame the other person? No, for confrontation. And he got it. Now he’s injured and asking, “why is everything so divisive?!”

      Both of these people are children walking around in adult costumes.

      Hell yes. My wife and I are thinking about moving back from deep red TN, where they gerrymandered away Nashville’s one representative. Seeing the GOP in Michigan keep shooting itself in the foot is great.

    Chapman also said that during the confrontation, he removed his glasses. “When you see me taking my glasses off, I’m ready to rock,” Chapman said.

    So he admits that it was premeditated. Good luck with your assault charge there, bud.

    Ok, I thought it was funny when I thought it was just a dude getting kicked in the nuts (that’s just always funny), but then I saw he broke the dude’s rib?

    Fake news the best people tell me Republicans don’t have balls, if they did they might stand up to the blatant corruption and descent into fascism that is obviously happening in the gop. I guess we can sum this up by saying if you don’t believe physical violence in a chamber of politics is appropriate don’t vote Republican. However Brandon is trying to forgive student loans so I don’t know who to vote for since both parties are the same.
