"Michigan GOP Lawmaker Removed from Committee Over Racist Posts"

The Michigan House of Representatives removed Republican lawmaker Josh Schriver from his staff and a committee position after he shared a post promoting a racist conspiracy theory. House Speaker Joe Tate accused Schriver of promoting racist rhetoric and hate speech, while Schriver denied being racist. The "great replacement theory" has been associated with white nationalists and has inspired violence. Politicians from both parties condemned Schriver's posts, with Governor Gretchen Whitmer stating that the rhetoric goes against state and national values.
