Michigan MAGA Republican state Rep. Matt Maddock is under fire after claiming three buses were “loaded up with illegal invaders.” The buses, according to multiple reports, were actually loaded with the Gonzaga University basketball team arriving for March Madness.

“Happening right now. Three busses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?” Rep. Maddock wrote on social media Wednesday evening, tagging far-right former U.S. Congressman Pete Hoekstra, who served as U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands under Donald Trump and is now the state’s Republican Party chair.

    Maddock represents a podunk ass area out south of Flint. This is probably one of the first times he’s been to the airport and seen busses at all.

          To be fair, that’s pretty accurate. European Americans are basically illegal invaders after all. (Technically not, because there was no written law making it illegal, but close enough.)
