Michigan GOP Lawmaker Mistakenly Accuses NCAA Team of Being 'Illegal Invaders'
Originally Published 1 year ago — by FOX 2 Detroit
Michigan GOP's Matt Maddock falsely claims that the Gonzaga basketball team arriving in Detroit for the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 are "illegal invaders" and posts photos of their buses and plane, drawing criticism from social media and Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow. The Wayne County Airport Authority debunked the claims, stating that the buses were transporting the basketball teams and their staff, not migrants. Maddock's baseless claims have sparked backlash and accusations of spreading dangerous misinformation.
