As so often happens lately with these MAGA cretins, what you think was meant as a stupid joke turns out to be serious and just spectacularly stupid. Source: Raw Story Michigan State Rep. Matt Maddock this week drew hackles when he falsely accused the Gonzaga men's basketball team of being immigrant "invaders." Writing on Twitter Wednesday night, Maddock posted a photo of a plane landing at the Detroit Metro Airport and then baselessly speculated it was filled with migrants who had been shipped from the southern border up to his state. Maddock seemed particularly annoyed that the "invaders" in question were getting a special police escort. But Maxwell White of local Detroit-based news station WXYZ did some basic homework on the photos and confirmed that it was the Gonzaga basketball team, which had flown into town to compete in the Sweet 16 basketball tournament being held in Michigan over the weekend. The tweets and some reactions. Just to be clear, this was the Gonzaga basketball team.Photos show Gonzaga getting on an Allegiant plane to Detroit for the Sweet 16, and Flight Radar shows a plane from GEG to DTW landed at 7:25 p.m., around the time this photo was posted.This is a wild tweet https://t.co/dzW0IR8A5gread more
