Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R) “opened the floor session of the Michigan Senate on Wednesday morning with a prayer. He spoke of seeking unity, working together and looking to God when people “get off track,” the Detroit Free Press reports.
“But immediately after delivering the invocation, microphones in the Senate chamber caught the highest ranking Republican elected official in the state standing by the sentiment of recent statements he made that aspects of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol were a ‘hoax’ and ‘staged.'”
