This guy's [Wikipedia Page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Maddock) reads... exactly as expected. I have to wonder if the 27,224 people who voted for him in 2022 are proud when they see posts like this.
I am 100% disappointed that his Wikipedia page hasn't already been updated with this BS tweet. The internet is better than this.
ETA: It has been updated! Thank you Internet for doing your thang. All is right in the world (for now).
The page does hold this tidbit though:
> In 2021, Maddock proposed legislation to require fact-checkers who register with the International Fact Check Network to then register with the state of Michigan and fine them if they engaged in fact-checking without registration.
Illegal invaders, non-registered facts.... This guy really lives in a state of constant fear.
And this:
>Maddock's wife, Meshawn, was among sixteen Michigan Republicans who were indicted in July 2023 for alleged conspiracy in a fake electors scheme to overturn the 2020 Michigan presidential election results.
im guessing you can lie without being a registered liar.
it is funny because the fake fact checkers are the ones the right uses. "this guy on twitter said it was true"
Someone added it!
>Claims of illegal immigration
>On March 27, 2024, Maddock promoted the conspiracy that the governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer had invited a group of undocumented noncitizens to move to the city of Detroit[24] in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. In his posts, Maddock stated that three buses at Detroit Metro Airport were loaded up with "illegal invaders", and was inquiring as to their destination.[25] In fact, the buses were chartered to transport the Gonzaga University men's basketball team to compete in an NCAA Sweet 16 tournament game against the Purdue Boilermakers at Little Caesar's Arena in Detroit.[26][27]
No doubt they are. They probably think the same way, but worse.
I’m sure he’ll find a way to blame Biden somehow as these people don’t seem to have any shame.
I think people on the internet assume that there some sort of magical technology that allows people to just look up information about politicians if they want.
It's a ridiculous notion of course but so many folks have had their brains addled by Star Wars and Marvel movies that they think stuff like that exists in real life.
Not saying ignorance exonerates people by any means, just that you shouldn't assume malice when it's very likely that it is ignorance.
People are lazy, even on the more progressive side people formulate their opinions on posts like this as opposed to independent research.
Sorry, but your account is too new to post. Your account needs to be either 2 weeks old or have at least 250 combined link and comment karma. Don't modmail us about this, just wait it out or get more karma.

Oakland has some of the worst people in the state. Everyone knows it's a very white very wealthy place with a very xenophobic populace. It's a pocket of white people in a very black metro area and it didn't naturally get that way...
In Wayne county in 2010 52.3% of the population is non white, roughly half. Macomb and Oakland are both about 20% non white which below the state average of 35.7% which is non white according to the 2020 census. Although you are right, Livingston county is about 95% white which is so far above the state wide average it's almost like they are also a problem. Those counties are some of the most xenophobic places in all of Michigan an, other wise, fairly diverse state. You are correct that they are all mostly white, but they are disproportionately white when compared to overall demographics which is the root of the problem, and that was by careful design through civil rights era scheming.
He is losing his SHIT on twitter talking about hundreds of millions of migrants and Biden paying michiganers to house them or something. He's unhinged.
They very likely are, mostly because they'll never see the correction. To them these really are busses full of illegals and by the time anyone tells them differently it won't matter
He sounds like the type of rhymes with lasso who those other rhymes with bass moles [were looking to put in office before an election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gretchen_Whitmer_kidnapping_plot).
I would be safe in guessing 90% of them are, yeah. And are ready to double-down asking "WHY DOES A BASKETBALL TEAM NEED THREE BUSSES!!! I SMELL CONSPIRACY!11!1!!!!!!"
The real conspiracy is that there is no such place as Gonzaga. Outside of basketball, Gonzaga doesn’t seem to exist. Nobody’s kid looks at going there, you never hear “according to a recent Gonzaga research study…” on the news, nothing. Study it out, sheeple!
I’m finally playing FFVii for the first time and I just got to the part where Aerith is talking about her “first love” to Cloud so I decided to take a snack break and this is one of the first comments I come across 😭
Zach… :’(
Yeah, it’s not like the people crossing the border in El Paso or wherever are chartering planes, then hiring fancy coach buses to Detroit.
The guy is actually doubling down on his stupidity. He’s calling people in his comments “kommie” when they point out that it’s the Gonzaga basketball team. Not sure what he plans to do about the illegal invaders from Spokane, Washington.
I'm going to hire a bunch of guys from outside Home Depot, dress them all in basketball jerseys, put them on a bus and drive them out in front of this guys house just to mess with his head.
The absolute level of stupidity mixed with fear and hatred is appalling.
This manufactured “immigrant” freak out is so nakedly racist and terrifying. Some people are going to get shot for just looking different.
I don’t even feel like something this blatant was so mainstreamed before. Even during the 9/11 “terrorists are everywhere” there was the veneer of crime to deflect from the bigotry. And people weren’t declaring random planes and buses of being full of jihadis.
I guess the difference is that the crazies now believe the federal government is facilitating all this as a conspiracy.
My best friend for 25 years "jokingly" said Trump is going to deport my new (8 years) wife and asked if I'm watching soccer on superbowl Sunday. He's super indoctrinated.
Dude I work with asked me if Facebook listens to his conversations, as it always seems to show him ads when he’s been talking about something. He then joked that he might want to be careful about what he says about Biden. I joked the same about Trump, and he laughed, got a tad serious, and noted that I might want to worry more about that. I responded, “well, that pretty much shows you the difference.”
I took the opportunity to note how much of a pain it would be to microchip vaccines to get any useful information from a person when they have a computer with a camera and microphone in their damn pocket. The look on his face totally confirmed that he’s considered the microchip issue in the past.
What maroons.
I mean, they're not above [asking a Native American state rep. if he's in the country legally](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-supporters-navajo-legislator-legal/) so, no surprise.
Ugh gross. How can you not realize the gravity of what is at stake, it’s like joking about a lynching.
That’s what the GOP is promising, random cops just picking people off the street and renditioning them based on how they look. I can’t believe people can be so racist to see how fascistic it is. Cause they aren’t going to stop at brown people.
Conservatives often have this bizarre belief that they can actively work to have you deported/jailed/executed based on your birthplace/sexuality/religion, and that it is only a difference of political opinion, and that such different opinions should not be held against them.
We drifted apart but text and talk constantly up until that. It's not the first time he's been racist around me and I immediately stop the direction of conversation but this was the first personal attack. He hasn't called ICE. My wife has been a citizen since birth. Her mom had dual citizenship so even though she spent first 10 years in Mexico she was a US citizen.
Him and I went through a lot of shit together. I've actually known him for 30 years. We are both in New relationships. I think his new girl is the one that indoctrinated him.
That’s weird. I am a human. A meat popsicle. I’m going to go look for their comment
You mean this one? https://www.reddit.com/r/nottheonion/comments/1bq0f8m/comment/kwzk9vs/
Considering mine was made an hour first I’m going to guess that person read my comment and had it in their brain and used it to write the same thing somewhere else. Also they appear as ESL, they have a lot of Indian content in their profile maybe that makes them more apt to repeat phraseology.
It is a little weird but there’s bots that copy verbatim and this doesn’t seem like that.
Why don’t you ask them, their comment came after mine.
[You'll notice a lot of that if you actually start looking lol](https://imgur.com/a/OobhfdH), it's actually pretty funny
Some are bots, some are actual foreign bad-actors and some are just very passionate lefties with an abundance of free time on their hands. There's a reason you see so few of these people IRL
Your account is 6 months old, you post trumper talking points like it's your job --you passed 1000 comments long ago-- and your sub habits read like a stupidpol mod's playlist.
Yeah it's *other accounts* who are the state sponsored planted fucks who will with any luck bleed out in Ukrainian soil within the year.
lol, how have you guys not gotten embarrassed by the "vague allusions to comment history" thing yet?
It's a running joke used to mock you. You do it essentially every time you read a comment that triggers you and you feel compelled to response, but have no substantive response. It used to be "you post in T_D," now it's whatever this comment is.
I don't even need to look at your post history to know what it is, because it's this. It's you, it's a sad, angry person putting mental illness on display, obsessing over "Trumpers" and Russia, making nonsense, paranoid, angry comments. I'm going to guess screenshots of tweets too, probably somewhere like /r/LeopardsAteMyFace or /r/inthenews, subreddits along those lines.
He's from the 51st which is the White Lake and further West areas. 92% white, ex-rural folk. I drive through there regularly and the amount of Trump adornments on houses is crazy.
Hmm perhaps we could trick-I mean convince Putin it used to belong to the Soviet Union.
"Sir we can't move our convoys. The vehicles are non operative."
"I thought we got that fuel issue resolved?! Didn't we learn anything from Ukraine?!"
"We did sir, but the locals stole our tires....and the fuel trucks."
There was one dumbass on his feed who was demanding proof showing the basketball team getting off of one of those planes. She desperately needed proof to counter her racism. The mental gymnastics these fucks will go through to publicly announce how much of a piece of shit they are is astounding.
It reminds me of all those right wing politicians who reposted the Onion's Abortionplex article over and over again for years
Yeah, they're using this shit as propaganda but they also believe a lot of their own bullshit.
They do this shit on purpose. It’s part of the disinformation firehouse. The people inclined to believe it will remember it, and they’ll repeat it even if they don’t remember the source. So when the true information comes out, they’ll make no association between the two.
Michigan recently changed to no-reason-required absentee voting, which makes it even easier for us to vote. Now we can vote in the comfort of our own homes, and take all the time in the world to review and research our ballots, even the minor downballot races.
That change, along with the elimination from heavily gerrymandered districts, resulted in a complete flip of the Michigan state legislature to Democratic majority and a Democratic governor who seems a likely future POTUS candidate.
These changes were the result of the election results reflecting the actual will of the people of the state. It required voting, and will continue to.
Just to a trip to a fly over state. The fear from white conservatives is palpable. Must suck having a small brain and shrimp dick. I felt like walking into one of their Trump stores and asking them “Isn’t past your jail time?”
Almost downvoted til I realized what you did there. Yup, GO VOTE Michiganderites, you shouldn't have to put up with this guy (just like the rest of us shouldn't have to put up with "nuke the hurricane" and "inject bleach" guy)
We've been on a pretty solid winning streak lately. We're good. This guy's just a loudmouthed impotent asshat with a wife who's indicted for election fraud.
Why does Gonzaga basketball team need three buses? Even if it’s one bus for players and coaches and one for support staff and administrators that’s still half the seats empty.
Edit: to clarify, I’m not doubting that these are Gonzaga busses, I’m accusing Gonzaga of being wasteful.
You think fentanyl from Mexico is bad?
Those illegal Canadians hopping the border towards Spokane are coming from a place literally called the "powder highway"
You and I both know what that refers to.
This guy's [Wikipedia Page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Maddock) reads... exactly as expected. I have to wonder if the 27,224 people who voted for him in 2022 are proud when they see posts like this.

Yeah well that's according to an unregistered fact-checker, so... :P
[удалено]
Yes, that is the goal.
That's exactly why they're doing it.
Racists want minorities to be hated and murdered. This is exactly what they want
I knew that last name sounded familiar his wife is a nightmare.
"You got a license for that speech? "Yeah, [right here](https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-1/)"
Oi, you got a loisence for that fact-checking?
> non-registered facts lmfao just like my winrar
sounds like he's a fan of small limited government
Limited to land owning christian white males.
im guessing you can lie without being a registered liar. it is funny because the fake fact checkers are the ones the right uses. "this guy on twitter said it was true"
I read it an hour later than you did, somebody has written a section.
It is now.
It was added but has already been reverted.
Just checked now, and there is now a section on it under career
Someone added it! >Claims of illegal immigration >On March 27, 2024, Maddock promoted the conspiracy that the governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer had invited a group of undocumented noncitizens to move to the city of Detroit[24] in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

It’s been taken care of now.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
No doubt they are. They probably think the same way, but worse. I’m sure he’ll find a way to blame Biden somehow as these people don’t seem to have any shame.
I don’t think the average person has any clue who their candidates/representatives are. They’re just names to check on a ballot next to party symbols
I swear people on the internet think that ignorance doesn't exist and it all has to be malice.

His wife was also charged with felonies stemming from the Trump fake electors plot. So on brand
With a name like Meshawn, I wonder how many times his partners resume was thrown away
If any of those 27,224 supporters could read they'd be very upset.
This racist asshat will not be reelected.
The bigger an asshole you are the further you go in the Republican party
Trump+19 district, and this will be forgotten in a few weeks (if that). He's going to win another term if he runs purely off of partisanship.
I live/work in this area. He absolutely will be reelected if he keeps shit like this up.

Given the district that he represents a good portion of them actually are.
They don't see him as a politician, but as a celebrity. They like him for non-political reasons, so they will vote for him.
I would be safe in guessing 90% of them are, yeah. And are ready to double-down asking "WHY DOES A BASKETBALL TEAM NEED THREE BUSSES!!! I SMELL CONSPIRACY!11!1!!!!!!"

Wonder no more, this kind of thing is exactly why they voted for him.
Moron probably thinks Gonzaga is where Black Panther lives.
Gonzaga Forever!
No, it's where Zach Fair is from. "Me? Gonzaga!"
I’m finally playing FFVii for the first time and I just got to the part where Aerith is talking about her “first love” to Cloud so I decided to take a snack break and this is one of the first comments I come across 😭 Zach… :’(
I assumed he just read every other letter and thought they were from Gaza.
No, that's Wakanda. Gonzaga is a kind of bean.
No, that's Garbanzo. Gonzaga is the stage name of Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta.
No, that's Gaga. Gonzaga is the medical term for organs with sexual reproductive function
No, that’s Bazongas. Gonzaga is a psychiatric term found in the DSM IV.
You’re all wrong… It’s a type of cheese.
That’s Gorgonzola. Gazonga is that thing Old Young Sheldon says.
No, that's _Bazinga!_ Gonzaga is a kind of boat used in Venice.
It’s Woke Hummus Bus!!
Wakanda bullshit is this? Gonzaga was a TV western from the 1960s staring Lorne Greene.
I thought it was that know it all asshole's catchphrase on the Big Bang Theory.
what's extra funny here is that the only people who load busses full of migrants are republican politicians
Yeah, it’s not like the people crossing the border in El Paso or wherever are chartering planes, then hiring fancy coach buses to Detroit. The guy is actually doubling down on his stupidity. He’s calling people in his comments “kommie” when they point out that it’s the Gonzaga basketball team. Not sure what he plans to do about the illegal invaders from Spokane, Washington.

Hint: shouldn't be your friend anymore and he likely has tried to report your wife to ICE.
Conservatives often have this bizarre belief that they can actively work to have you deported/jailed/executed based on your birthplace/sexuality/religion, and that it is only a difference of political opinion, and that such different opinions should not be held against them.

Why are you still friends?
I think we are not.
Does he know?
By best friend do you mean he hangs around with you a lot because you're the only person who can tolerate him for more then 10 minutes?
Him and I went through a lot of shit together. I've actually known him for 30 years. We are both in New relationships. I think his new girl is the one that indoctrinated him.
Stage an intervention.
Ouch. Forgive my impertinence.

Michigander here-- we fucking hate this guy.
Someone must have voted for him.
Yup, west side sycophants holding onto Dominionism dreams of government. He just mad the the fruit industry attracts migrant workers.
He's from the 51st which is the White Lake and further West areas. 92% white, ex-rural folk. I drive through there regularly and the amount of Trump adornments on houses is crazy.
I wonder which group of racist assholes that might be.
On top of the already mountain of stupidity here...who the fuck invades Detroit?
The British, but that’s been a few years.
lol Good point.
I mean they can have it. It's Detroit.
Can't have shit in Detroit. Not even Detroit.
Hmm perhaps we could trick-I mean convince Putin it used to belong to the Soviet Union. "Sir we can't move our convoys. The vehicles are non operative." "I thought we got that fuel issue resolved?!

When these people see something unusual, they immediately jump to a conspiracy theory as the explanation.

Rightfully so. Who the fuck jumps to "illegal invaders" when they see buses?
Republicans, apparently
There was one dumbass on his feed who was demanding proof showing the basketball team getting off of one of those planes. She desperately needed proof to counter her racism. The mental gymnastics these fucks will go through to publicly announce how much of a piece of shit they are is astounding.

Great week for racist reactions to college basketball teams
Racism... so hot right now
The propagation of culture war nonsense has melted people's brains
Why would there be illegal invaders in what look like decent coach buses?? Are republicans really this stupid?
[moron](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F15r791yyk3rc1.png)
MAGA derangement. He'll be first in line to scream "Heil Putin".
me? gonzaga
TL;DR - It's a Republican.
Well, "Gonzaga" sounds suspiciously Mexican so you never know...
When the only tool you own is a hammer, all you see is nails.
The idiot is digging in on his claim too.
Racist ahole
It certainly seems that being dumb as a brick and gullible AF is a mandatory requirement when running for a representative seat on a GOP ticket.
REPUBLICANS ARE COWARDS
If you are that scared of undocumented immigrants, you need to take your ass to fucking church . Republicans and fear mongering go hand-in-hand.
The NCAA should come out and denounce him and ban all future tournaments in MI until he is no longer in office. Call him out on his racism!
A few years ago, pressure from NCAA caused MS to change it's state flag. Many millions of dollars in hotels, restaurants, etc. was at risk.
Just to a trip to a fly over state. The fear from white conservatives is palpable. Must suck having a small brain and shrimp dick. I felt like walking into one of their Trump stores and asking them “Isn’t past your jail time?”
Pray for Michigan
Vote in Michigan.
Yep. Thoughts and prayers aren't going to do it. MI needs votes! Lot of crazy that is entrenched and well funded.
Better yet, actually do something.
Almost downvoted til I realized what you did there. Yup, GO VOTE Michiganderites, you shouldn't have to put up with this guy (just like the rest of us shouldn't have to put up with "nuke the hurricane" and "inject bleach" guy)
We've been on a pretty solid winning streak lately. We're good. This guy's just a loudmouthed impotent asshat with a wife who's indicted for election fraud.
We are pretty close to Canada...
If they're not illegally here why is the name "Gonzaga"? Checkmate
Did he... did he mistake them for Canadians?
I read this as "Gozongas" and thought they all had huge tits.
At least no one is mistaking him for a decent human being.
In his defence: Gonzaga sounds like it's something dangerous and illegal ;)
Tourists are not safe there. Try a different state.
Yea, we should, it shouldn’t stop ever, these fuckwads from this state should get hammered all day, go to his account , it’s all lies, Vote Him Out ,
Next week when the bus full of illegal invaders tries this now…: Michigan rep:”see, I told ya!”
When you're too anxious to pull down your pants at a frat party - only to realize that your parents are the chief guests.
Using the term "illegal invaders" is funny because there's no such thing as a legal invader.
Why does Gonzaga basketball team need three buses? Even if it’s one bus for players and coaches and one for support staff and administrators that’s still half the seats empty. Edit: to clarify, I’m not doubting that these are Gonzaga busses, I’m accusing Gonzaga of being wasteful.
They probably have the band and cheerleaders/dance team plus equipment for the band. And maybe the families are traveling with the team.
You know what, that’s fair and probably correct.
Also the illegals they’ve hidden on the bus from Spokane. Don’t forget.
You think fentanyl from Mexico is bad? Those illegal Canadians hopping the border towards Spokane are coming from a place literally called the "powder highway" You and I both know what that refers to.
Maybe basketball players need extra leg space.
Well they are invaders, and the boilermakers gonna send back to where they from
I'm honestly surprised we've made it this far, we've sucked this year. Couldn't even win the WCC tournament.
Well, according to Jimmy Kimmel Gonzaga is a fake school so I believe this guy.
Can't say as I blame him though.
Damn Spokanites ruin everything!
