Michgan Senate Majority leader Mike Shirkey (R), the highest ranking Republican elected official in the state, recently said he believes the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol was not carried out by supporters of former president Donald Trump, calling the idea a “hoax” and stating that the attacked was “staged,” the Detroit Free Press reports.
Said Shirkey in a video: “That wasn’t Trump people. That’s been a hoax from day one. It was all staged,”
