LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – State House Minority Leader Matt Hall says a social media post that touted the “replacement theory” by Representative Josh Schriver should not have been put up.
The Richland Township Republican says he has no concerns with House Speaker Joe Tate stripping Schriver of his staff and committee assignments over the post made in February.
The “replacement theory” is a conspiracy theory from white supremacists that says there is a coordinated effort to replace the Caucasian majority population in countries.
Hall told the press this week, “I don’t agree with the theories” and explained that “we should not use these terms.”
According to the Detroit Free Press, Hall had not previously commented publicly on the controversy, though he said he gave on-the-record comments to a reporter in early March that did not result in a story. February 21, House Democrats announced an advertising and petition campaign attacking Hall over they said was his silence on the issue.
