It seems like a lifetime since RINO Fred Upton was first elected to serve the people of his conservative-leaning district in Michigan. But for his constituents, who trusted him for 19 terms to work on their behalf, US Rep. Fred Upton, who has crossed the aisle and joined the radical Left on more than one critical vote, including the unfounded impeachment of President Trump, the announcement of his retirement this morning was music to their ears.
For the most part, the 68-year-old Upton has faced little or no opposition in his career as a lifetime politician, but this time around, things are differentâthis time aroundâthe Republican Party kingmaker President Donald J. Trump is taking an active role in Michigan and has endorsed 6-term US Rep. Bill Huizenga in the newly drawn district.
Michigan is a battleground state that Trump won in 2016, and across the state of Michigan, many residents still believe Michigan is a state Trump won again in 2020. Many blame massive voter fraud, including Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerbergâs interference in Michiganâs election. Michigan residents are furious that Zuckerberg was allowed to fund a get-out-the-vote effort in their state that includes drop boxes for absentee ballots placed strategically in Democrat stronghold areas. The FEC ignored his censorship of a pro-Trump message on Facebook.
