Michigan State Rep. Matt Maddock this week drew derision when he falsely accused the Gonzaga men's basketball team of being immigrant "invaders." Writing on Twitter Wednesday night, Maddock posted a photo of a plane landing at the Detroit Metro Airport and then baselessly speculated it was filled with migrants who had been shipped from the southern border up to his state. "Happening right now," he wrote. "Three busses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they're headed with their police escort?" Maddock seemed particularly annoyed that the "invaders" in question were getting a special police escort. But Maxwell White of local Detroit-based news station WXYZ did some basic homework on the photos and confirmed that it was the Gonzaga basketball team, which had flown into town to compete in the Sweet 16 basketball tournament being held in Michigan over the weekend.


Georgia Republican Party's first vice chairman, Brian K. Pritchard, committed voter fraud by casting a ballot while serving probation for felony check forgery. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Administrative Law Judge Lisa Boggs of the State Board of Elections ordered Pritchard to pay a $5,000 fine and receive a public reprimand. Pritchard is a conservative talk show host who has claimed there was voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, the report said. He argued that he was unaware that he had not completed his probation before voting. "The court does not find the respondent's explanations credible or convincing," Boggs' ruling said. "At the very least, even if the court accepts he did not know about his felony sentences, the record before this court demonstrates that he should have known." Pritchard was said to have voted in nine elections while still on probation. He first registered to vote in Georgia in 2008.

When conservative icon Matt Schlapp announced Tuesday that the sexual battery and defamation lawsuit against him had been dropped, he and his allies were quick to note that the ordeal ended without him or the American Conservative Union"the right-wing organization he runs"paying his accuser a single dollar. But what Schlapp didn't disclose was that the Republican operative who sued him was, in fact, paid to drop the lawsuit, according to two people with knowledge of the payout. It was just that the money came from ACU's insurance company, these two people told The Daily Beast. Minutes before this article published, CNN ran a story also revealing that the lawsuit was dropped only after Schlapp's accuser was paid $480,000 from ACU's insurer"an amount one of the sources confirmed to The Daily Beast.) read more
