It’s a small story, but one that simply should never happen. From WOODTV (MI):
State rep. pays tribute to men acquitted in governor kidnap plot
A West Michigan state legislator paid tribute Friday to two men acquitted in the failed plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, with Rep. Rachelle Smit saying she was doing so on behalf of the state.
Not so fast, the governor’s office responded.
“We’re here to recognize Bill and Mike Null for their unfortunate involvement in this scandal, if you will, and that’s what I’m going to call it,” Smit, R-Shelbyville, said at an event in Allegan. “If you would just accept these tributes on behalf of the state of Michigan and our office as your representative in the 43rd District,” Smit said.
The governor’s press secretary called the tribute “disturbing.”
What should happen is expulsion. What will happen is something different.
