Mike Rogers Debunks Media Narrative on Trump's Visit to Michigan

Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers has strongly criticized the narrative promoted by the establishment media and the Harris campaign, which linked former President Donald Trump’s recent visit to Howell with white supremacy. Following Trump’s appearance in the city, Alyssa Bradley, communications director for the Harris campaign, condemned the visit, labeling Howell as the “KKK capital of Michigan.” Rogers, a Howell native, vehemently rejected this characterization during an interview on Breitbart News Daily. Rogers described the accusations as deeply offensive to the residents of Howell, asserting that it is unjust to label an entire community as racist based on the actions of a small group. He emphasized that the portrayal of Howell as a hub of racism is not only inaccurate but also insulting to the local Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. “This is just so wrong,” he stated, criticizing the political exploitation of such serious allegations. He further pointed out that the incident involved only a dozen individuals, dismissing the notion that Howell should be defined by their actions. Rogers called for an apology from those who perpetuated the narrative, arguing that it misrepresents the community’s values. He also highlighted that both he and Trump have focused on addressing local issues, particularly crime related to illegal immigration, rather than engaging in divisive rhetoric. In conclusion, Rogers expressed his gratitude for Trump’s visit, framing it as an opportunity to discuss pressing community concerns rather than a platform for promoting hate.
