Michigan Can't Trust MAGA Mike Rogers and His Radical Right-Wing Army

MAGA Mike’s Senate campaign is a coalition of extremists and antisemites bankrolled by a Christian nationalist – all to support his radical, extremist agenda.

Michigan deserves better.

Here’s what you need to know about his record ↓

MAGA Mike

Won't Denounce Amtisemites On His Team

MAGA Mike won’t call out his own team for saying that Jews should be exiled to North Korea and defending praise of Hitler.

MAGA Mike has built a team that includes far-right antisemites aligned with the Groyper movement of white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Alexander Richmond, who runs his campaign at the University of Michigan, defended the participants in the infamous "I love Hitler" Young Republican group chat. Another member of his team, Cameron Dundas, said that Jews should be shipped off to North Korea.

When confronted, the Rogers campaign didn't cut ties. They said they welcomed volunteers with "varying view points."

There are no both sides to “I love Hitler” or anti-Jewish hate.

Bankrolled by a Christian Nationalist

MAGA Mike won’t denounce the millions of dollars in support he’s received from a Christian nationalist who doesn’t believe Jews should be involved in political leadership.

Texas oil billionaire Tim Dunn put $5 million into MAGA Mike’s super PAC. That’s more than 98% of what the group raised in the first half of last year. Dunn is one of the country's leading financiers of Christian nationalism.

For Jewish Michiganders, Dunn's record — and his support of MAGA Mike — should be disqualifying. Former Republican Texas House Speaker Joe Straus, who is Jewish, says Dunn told him that "only Christians should hold leadership positions." And in 2023, a top official at one of Dunn's PACs met with Nick Fuentes.

Asked about Dunn's money and his antisemitism, Mike Rogers didn't respond.

Election Denier

MAGA Mike once criticized election denial. Now, after going full Trump, he’s embraced it.

After losing Michigan's 2024 Senate race, MAGA Mike repeated the same false claims that Donald Trump made after 2020 that a "very unusual truckload of ballots" in Detroit swung the outcome. This was after literally denouncing it after 2020.

Rogers' team also includes Linda Lee Tarver, who tried to block certification of Michigan's 2020 results in Detroit. Now Donald Trump has since echoed the lie that MAGA Mike’s race was stolen and is using it as a pretense to support Rogers’ radical and racist plan to have off-duty and retired police officers recruited as poll watchers in America’s largest black city.

MAGA Mike can’t be trusted to stand up for Michiganders when he’s willing to toss their votes away just because they’re black.

MAGA Mike

Wants to Ban Abortion

Michigan voters protected abortion rights in 2022. Rogers has spent his career trying to take them away.

MAGA Mike has said he supports “all restrictions on abortions,” and praised the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. As he’s taken more and more money from the far right, he’s become more and more extremist and radical on the issue, even working to prevent Michiganders from accessing mifepristone and other life-saving drugs.

Maybe MAGA Mike didn’t get the memo down in Florida, but Michigan voters made it clear in 2022 that they wanted to protect abortion rights. A vote for Mike Rogers is a vote for a federal constitutional ban on abortion and radical right-wing judges on the Supreme Court to enforce it.

Covers Up Sexual Misconduct With Minors

MAGA Mike refuses to cut ties with a pastor who covered up sexual misconduct with kids under the age of 16.

MAGA Mike’s “Faith Coalition” included countless election deniers, homophobes, and creeps like election-denying-pastor Tim Cross. Not only has Cross actively spoken out against the gay community, but he also disgustingly enabled his 40-year mentor — Mark T. Barclay, pastor of Living Word International Church — to cover up sexual misconduct in his ministries by his own son-in-law, James Randolph.

That sexual misconduct? Six counts of criminal sexual conduct, including two first-degree counts involving a minor under 16. Randolph was sentenced earlier this year to 25-40 years. And that was the third of three convictions in the last 18 months.

When confronted, the Rogers campaign didn't cut ties. Apparently hiding sexual misconduct with a minor under 16 is totally fine to him and his team.

MAGA Mike

Supported By Elon Musk

Elon Musk’s PAC has been spending huge amounts of money to support Mike Rogers' Senate bid.

MAGA Mike has been taking massive amounts of support from Elon Musk, the trillionaire endorser of the great replacement theory who gave a Nazi salute — twice — during Donald Trump’s second inauguration.

This support comes after MAGA Mike sent out a fundraising email begging for money to elect him to ‘protect’ Elon Musk.

We don’t need another vote in the U.S. Senate to help billionaires and an antisemitic trillionaire like Musk.
