As I'd said in this earlier post…
Relax, conspiracy-minded cross-burners, it’s effectively only a slap on the wrist. It’s not like [State Representative Josh] Schriver was ousted from office. He continues to represent his constituency and still can vote in the Michigan House.
And, in fact (from the linked article)…
On Tuesday, GOP members, including Schriver [emphasis mine -- r^2^], voted down a pair of bills that would have extended the dormancy period for specified properties of active-duty military or reserve members from three years to five years.
“I’m in my third term and every term I’ve been on the [Military, Veterans, and Homeland Security Committee],” said state Rep. Tyrone Carter (D-Detroit). “This is the first time that I can remember that we did not vote for something to benefit veterans. This is disturbing because when you’re a veteran, you’re not a Republican, you’re not a Democrat. You serve the country and we owe a debt of gratitude for those freedoms we enjoy. I don’t know what this message was today, but it’s insulting to those that have served.”
Just in case you'd thought that Rep Schriver had analyzed his xenophobia or reconsidered his deplorable online actions, no! Get that man a shovel because he's going to dig himself deeper!
While Schriver didn’t speak with reporters on Tuesday, he continues to post online the same sort of content that got him into trouble to begin with. The Great Replacement theory meme he posted last week, was technically a retweet from Jack Posobiec, a far-right influencer with 1.7 million followers on X.
Schriver added, “Michigan, I would never replace you. Whitmer calls for our lovely Michigan residents to be swiftly replaced by foreign nationals …”
Whereas I can only hope his constituency would be only too happy to replace him — and his hemming-and-hawing GOP colleagues who can't even denounce nor defend Schriver — and as soon as possible.
