The Allegan County Tea Party did not react kindly to the expulsion of former State Rep. Cindy Gramrat (R-Plainwell) early Friday morning.
A statement issued on its Facebook site Friday night stated, “On 9/11 2015, the terrorist network in Lansing Michigan (sometimes called the Republican Party leadership), has taken down the Twin Towers.
“It took more than a few box cutters to destroy the foundation, but included well placed explosives in a true conspiracy to cover the truth.
“Justice has not been served in this matter, but destroyed.”
Gamrat, before she was elected by plurality in the August 2014 Republican Party primary, and by a huge majority in the November 2014 general election, was president of the Allegan County Tea Party. She has been succeeded by Stephen Young, who is believed to be the author of the post.
The Allegan County Tea Party last month voted to support Gamrat in her battle to continue as a legislator, but the Allegan County Republican Party voted 14-4 with two abstentions to urge her to resign.
She was embattled after an investigation determined she and fellow Republican and Tea Party member Todd Courser attempted to cover up an extra-marital affair and misued staff and public resources. Gamrat is only the fourth legislator in the 178-year history of the house to be expelled. Courser resigned before being expelled.
