Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig announced Wednesday he is running for governor of Michigan just hours after forming an exploratory committee to consider the prospect.

Appearing on Fox News, Craig told host Tucker Carlson, “I’ve got to tell you, I am running. When I look at what some politicians are doing across our country, you know, let’s talk about Gov. (Gretchen) Whitmer (D-MI), she follows different rules. She just does,” Fox 2 reported.

Better then the evil witch.

That's what we said about Romney, too.

While the republicans still have control of the MI legislature, they had better get rid of all Dominion machines.

Yes, they are mostly RINOs, but surely even RINOs see that if they continue to allow these machines, their own "safe" seats will flip because Democrats are now completely in-your-face with the cheating (because they know nothing will be done about it).

I saw the interview. At one point near the end, Tucker ponted out that the left would bring out the kitchen sink of talking points. “Soon they’ll call you a white supremacist”. Mr. Craig paused, processed it, and then they both laughed.

Really? He enforced the Witless lockdowns - he is anti 2nd Amendment - he refuses to say he is a Republican and he refuses to say if supports President Trump.

No way on the “Chief”

I have seen pretty much zero answer to the actual voting machines and now firmly established voting rules in these stop and steal states. As it stands,we are going to get clobbered in the next two cycles. The GOP is worthless and weak.

From a speech he made in Jackson Mi. earlier this month.

“I will always protect the rights of others to live their lives, speak their minds, practice their faith, enjoy liberty and pursue happiness,” said Craig, who retired month.

He did address whether he supported President Trump.

“I found that my life experiences were leading me to vote Republican, including for President Trump in both elections,” he said.

Don't really give a damn about the Republican / Conservative Labels

As a resident of Detroit I plan on voting for him. He supports Trump as I do. You can do the rest of the research on his stance on the 2nd Amendment. As memory serves me he told Detroit's to arm themselves, as the police could not get there in time. As far as enforcing Covid restrictions by the current Governor of the state. That's his job whether you like it, or not. I suggest you do a little research before popping off.

His laugh appeared genuine, too, not just pro-forma.

He been on NewsMax and he is the real deal. He called Congress a circus for going after 1/6 but not BLM...He was the police chief of Portland (Maine not Oregon) from 2009 to 2011. Until 2011 he was a Dem, became a Republican in 2011. I guess he was a D because his family was...His dad was a police officer in Detroit.

Read Ned Ryun’ story on American Greatness - he writes in detail that James Craig is a complete fake - especially on 2A
