Michigan GOP executive who blamed Trump for election loss resigns leadership post

Roe joined the Michigan GOP in February, but it was comments he made last year that landed him in hot water with some of the party base. In November, Roe told Politico "the election wasn’t stolen" and that "there is no one to blame but Trump" for the party's defeat in the presidential election. That eventually enraged some in the party. In late May, Michigan GOP precinct delegates delivered a resolution calling on the party’s leadership to fire Roe because of what he told Politico. Debra Ell, a Republican organizer in Michigan, helped lead the push for the resolution against Roe. “He said there was no fraud — again, that’s something that doesn’t line up with what we think really happened — and then he said it’s all Donald Trump’s fault,” she told the Washington Post.
