A gathering of the Michigan Republican party on Saturday night turned physical and put one person in the emergency room, another 'kicked in the balls and cops called to break up the brawl.
Tensions boiled over at the Doherty Hotel in Clare, Michigan, as the GOP's state committee came together to discuss the party's direction and the leadership under new chairwoman Kristina Karamo.
As Michigan Republicans arrived at the venue, some found that the door where the meeting was taking place had already been locked and was limited to members of the state committee.
It left some Republicans frustrated as they were left to stand out in the cold.
James Chapman, a Republican from Wayne County, had traveled to Clare for the meeting only to be forced to listen to it through a locked door. When he tried to get inside, the melee started and included Chapman kicking another member in the groin.
Chapman told The Detroit News how he and others said the Pledge of Allegiance together in the lobby of the hotel - outside of the meeting.
He then attempted to get inside by turning the doorknob of the meeting room. He jiggled the doorknob of the meeting room but found it was locked shut.
Mark DeYoung, chairman of the Clare County Republican Party, came to the door and claimed to have seen someone curse at him through one of the windows.
Upon opening the door, DeYoung said he was instantly attacked.
'He kicked me in my balls as soon as I opened the door,' DeYoung told the outlet, noting how Chapman took a run at him - slamming him into a chair.
The force of the kick caused DeYoung to fall to the floor, breaking a rib in the process. He had to be taken to hospital.

One side or the other probably up to no good playing with rules or something.
Silly bunch of clowns.
I’m used to saying “keep it classy, Dems.” Wrong party.
Sounds like the DeSantis bunch (Ukraine War supporters) are FINALLY being confronted by MAGA.
The Gonads Obliterated Party.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
Hold the negativity
At least one Republican has balls.
Kristina Karamo is a Trump supporter and thinks election fraud occured to take the election away from Trump.
A group got together in the michigan GOP and elected her chairperson, wanting to go away from the swampy GOPe.
The swamp doesn’t like it’s power being taken away, so it’s causing trouble.
👍 🤣 So true. They were probably locking out the ones with balls.
The only thing it is missing is Trump!
Knokin down, draggin out!
Republicans behaving badly.
