Micheal Smith (22nd RD) is NOT a Dangerous MAGA Extremist

All the same caveats that apply to Hensley and Ramone apply to Smith. These responses (see below) don’t mean that Smith isn’t terrible person. His party affiliation means that he probably is pretty horrible.

And yet, these responses do mean that he is a Republican legislator who is willing to go on the record holding some anti-MAGA positions. Jan 6th rioters are criminals. Joe Biden is President, and Donald Trump has committed crimes that must be accounted for.

Note: I made some slight changes to the initial email and changed the subject line to: DEGOP Candidate Survey

Mike,

Thanks for the quick response Mike. And thanks for not being a dangerous MAGA extremist. It is a shame that the non-extremists have so little power in the party right now, but maybe you and your fellow non-extremists can turn the tide.

Hi Michael,

As you know, President Joe Biden recently enlisted all Americans who believe in democracy to be on guard against “Extreme MAGA Republicans” who don’t simply threaten our personal and economic rights, they embrace political violence. The President noted that MAGA extremists “refuse to accept the will of the people,” and said “they threaten our very democracy.”

But President Biden also said that not all Republicans are MAGA extremists, so we at DelawareLiberal.net are very eager to find which DEGOP elected officials are “extremist MAGA Republicans” and which are regular Republicans.

If you could please respond to the very simple questionnaire below we would sincerely appreciate it.

BTW – You may be gratified to hear that 50% of the Republican State Reps surveyed so far are NOT MAGA extremists.

Thanks,

Jason
