Michigan Republicans enlist extremist who opposed abortion for rape victims because "God put them in this moment" [View all]

Michigan Republicans have been featuring extremist commentator Garrett Soldano as a speaker at numerous campaign events.

Soldano has stated that he opposes abortion for rape victims because “God put them in this moment.” He has also referred to abortion as a “get out of jail free card,” said that he opposes Plan B, called on his followers to form militias, and suggested that the “deep state” is going to stage “false flag” events in the coming months.

Soldano is a right-wing commentator who streams online and hosts a podcast. In 2022, he unsuccessfully ran for governor, losing during the primary. He gained notoriety in Michigan during the pandemic when he formed a group opposing COVID-19 safety measures.

Michigan Republicans have been featuring Soldano as a campaign speaker in recent months.
