LANSING, MI (WTVB) – Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey is apologizing to Governor Whitmer and Democrats in the Legislature for comments he made while speaking to a Hillsdale College Republican group.
Shirkey said the governor and other Democrats were on the, quote, “bat-(expletive) crazy spectrum.”
While Democrats were quick to condemn the remarks, Republican State Representative Beau LaFave of Iron Mountain supported Shirkey, saying “truer words have never been spoken of Emperor Whitmer.”
Shirkey’s 16th Senate District covers Branch, Hllsdale, and Jackson counties.
