RFK, meeting with the Kent County GOP alongside Rogers and James, railed against the Muslim Brotherhood by claiming the organization is “why you don’t see any Arab Muslims winning the Nobel.”

RFK: “There's 500 million Arabs in the world, and yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don’t produce literature.” Every aspect of that statement (save Fields) is absolutely false.

This could be interpreted as Musk's political operation just spending money in MI, then documenting "contributions" ex post facto so the expenditures are covered in the filing. It's not exactly kosher, but easy to do when you have a single donor with virtually unlimited cash.

There's one contribution from Musk per day that totals the cost of that day's expenditures, leaving the committee's cash balance at $0 every day, which is certainly eyebrow-raising.

President Donald Trump in Michigan: "By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss. That's - stand up. That's hard to miss."

"I want you to pretend that I'm on the ballot," Trump tells his supporters in Port Huron. "When I'm on the ballot we win everything." Mike Rogers lost to Elissa Slotkin when Trump was last on the ballot in Michigan

President Trump just compared voting against Abdul El-Sayed to fighting back against Sept. 11 terrorists. It’s about as close as you could possibly come to calling El-Sayed a terrorist without directly doing so.

Mike Rogers is on stage in Port Huron, talking about Abdul El-Sayed and again raising claims about Muslim Brotherhood affiliations. There’s some exclamations from the crowd: “traitor,” “deport him,” etc

You know, when I woke up this morning I thought to myself “I wonder if I’ll see Nicki Minaj today?” — what a strange coincidence

In Port Huron for President Donald Trump’s rally this afternoon. It does seem like there were more people in line than this relatively small venue can accommodate.

Here in foggy Lansing Township for a canvass kickoff with young/college Republicans. Organizers say they have more than 200 college-age volunteers flown in from 19 states here.
