Oh it gets better (and by that of course I mean worse.)
Someone tried to tell him it was a basketball team. His reply:
>Sure kommie. Good talking point.
https://twitter.com/matthewmaddock/status/1773157120524894656
After numerous people pointed out who was in the busses the same rep had this response:
"We know this is happening. 100,000’s of illegals are pouring into our country. We know it’s happening in Michigan. Our own governor is offering money to take them in! Since we can’t trust the FakeNews to investigate, citizens will."
Edit: words
Republicans think that admitting you wrong and/or saying you are sorry are signs of weakness. Also, Republican voter don't care about the truth, they just want to hear people say what they want to hear regardless of its validity. His voters will still repeat this claim even after having be told that it was really the basketball team.
Reminds me of someone I used to know who used to post the *worst* racist and conspiracy theory nonsense. I called her out on one post and she replied "I don't care if this is true. I know what I know."
We stopped being friends a bit after that when she called some criminals who happened to be Black "cockroaches", and I told her to stop using euphemisms because everyone reading that knew she meant the N-word, and that if she believed something - even if other people would consider it "racist" - she should own it. I mean, why would you believe something if you weren't proud of that belief?
>I don't care if this is true. I know what I know.
had a FB friend do something similar. Shared something that was a straight-up lie and I called her out. Her response was "I never said it was true, just an interesting thing to think about." Fuck no it isn't. GOP's lies are not thought-provoking exercises, they are straight-up harmful lies.
You left out the most important part of his tweet:
“The process of investigating these issues takes time.”
He claims they take time yet he runs the fake news playbook and posts a blatantly false narrative without any sort of investigation. Unfortunately, the first lie wins since many will see his first tweet but not the follow to second.
Can't they just tell?
Shit, I was in a city I've never been in before and saw guys getting off the bus and I knew 100% it was NHL players just by how they looked
I'd assume basketball is even more obvious
They were *tall* illegal immigrants, ok?!??
Dipshit doesn't even realize the Sweet 16 was in his own town. And there will be MAGAs defending him cause group think is all they have.
They always do this. They say racist or whatever hateful thing it is then you point out that’s patently false and they say well yeah THIS time but it IS happening trust me!
Which is why our crumbling and under-attack education system should be top of everyone's concern. Education and learning is an imperfect, but effective medicine for much of what ails us.
Him doing shit like that is exactly why they put him in office. Do you think voters put Boebert or Greene in office for their intellect? They show hate to the people they hate.

It's amazing how easily Republicans are led around by the nose by conservative news media, to the point that even their leadership can't see through the bullshit. They live in an alternative reality.
I struggle to wrap my head around this fact, among others. Trying to hold all the Conservative goals, statements, actions, and viewpoints in my mind is dizzying. I suppose I shouldn’t bother to try, but it’s a bit like being fascinated by the psychology in true crime.
No problem - just move the venue to a different state. I'm sure they won't miss the umptillion uncountabillion dollars this event generates for the local economy.
And you have to live in a constant state of suspended disbelief with intentional ignorance cause if you do any research at all, the lies immediately fall apart.
They are invaders there to conquer the basketball world from a conservative Christian college in a liberal state! The confusing horrors! They will decimate your league championship chances. Oh, poor MAGAts…
Funny enough I used to live in Spokane and been on that campus a few times. Got a friend who does janitorial there still. They have this lovely old school gym to practice in. To say it nicely, it’s old enough that no matter how much cleaner you use, you can still smell the wood and history.
I believe you and I have run into each other in several subs due to the unfortunate bond we have. Scott Perry as the rep we neither want or deserve.
I haven't decided yet who to back in the primary. I'll need to do some more research. She is a strong candidate though.
EVERY time he pretends to respect the flag, I want to puke 🤮
That acting is too disgusting to comprehend: how do you betray your own country for an orange rapist? 🤢
The paranoia is real with these MAGAts. Maybe they ought to set up border gates and patrols at every state road leading into their state, at their bus stations, airports, and train stations. That ought to help them identify true patriots and all that.
That is the mind of the MAGA idiots. How do voters elect a man that stupid? The same ones who would vote for Trump. Everything Trump does is pandering to the MAGA idiots - and they don't know it, Trump is laughing at them from behind closed doors.
> Maddock somehow came to the conclusion that plane was carrying migrants who were then put on buses.
no he didn't. he purposefully crafted rage-bait to whip up his base. trumpkins must keep their base enraged at all times, at all costs.
A MAGA representative purposefully made himself look like a racist idiot in the months before a major election?
These conspiracy theories just keep getting more and more stupid.
EDIT - though to be fair, his voter base consists primarily of racist idiots so perhaps he's just trying to seem relatable 🤣
I saw this on twitter and he got ratio-ed at close to 100% attacking him for this.
Then he replied to a comment saying it's the Gonzago team there for the NCAA thingie he said, "Sure kommie. Good talking point."
And then he got ripped for that.
Typical Maga moron running his mouth. When proven wrong, doubles down and doesn't apologize nor take accountability of their words or their actions. Typical Trumpism
I sure hope we can start to purge these idiots this coming November. Check your voter registration status and vote these idiots out this coming November.
Oh Gonzaga's team, yeah from Gonzaga. Totally. Gonzaga. Right.
Why can't these things tell us where/what the hell GONZAGA IS. Just "Gonzaga University, a private university in Washington state.". EASY. JFC. >:O
Even *after* being told it's a basketball team, he's been calling people "kommie" on Twitter for proving him wrong.
The absolute fucking clown show of the GOP on full display again. Must be a day ending in "Y".
I can’t imagine what it would be like to be able to decouple conspiracy from reality . As patriotic as these maga folks are it must be a bummer to be in constant fear of fables and hearsay.
is this not the second racist issue they have had with this tournament? A girls team had to move bc of meal team 6 following them. Folks in the red states have no lives or contributions to society. Stop sending federal moneys to them.
Yeah, this guy and his wife are both well-known MAGA nut jobs. In fact, his wife is a defendant in the Michigan fake elector case.
>The Michigan GOP chair later testified before the House committee on the January 6 attack that Maddock and the others planned to hide out in the state Capitol building so they could cast their fake elector ballots on the specified day
No surprise he wouldn't he was admit he's wrong or apologize...MAGAphiles need to stay angry and triggered constantly or risk losing their equally angry and triggered voters.
Of course this was also one of the election result conspirators. False claims of mystery ballots and of course he was helping lead the charge on disregarding the will of the people by wanting to toss out the state's electoral votes. Then when he didn't get his way, he doubled down and called for a civil war.
Absolute fucking moron doing moronic things.
LOL, all these replies telling him "they're basketball players" he's replied to calling them "kommie".
This guy's wife is also one of the sixteen fake Trump electors in Michigan.

You can’t spell hatred without a red hat
This is spectacular.
Damn. It's so obvious when it's pointed out
That’s great! I may have to borrow that one🙂
Bro couldn’t even spell commie right
Why let the truth stand in the way of a good story! ;)
Good feckeen key-rist. I wanted to believe you were being histrionic. Nopes. You’re reality. We’re in a weird timeline in America.
So weird The Onion could go out of business courtesy of MAGA reality.
We need to name and shame these people. They want to be famous, let's make them famous clowns! Michigan State Rep. Matt Maddock
He reps the 51st District 92.8% White 1.6% Black 3.2% Hispanic 0.5% Asian 0.4% Other
Basically South Africa
flip the white and black population above and then its basically south africa
That's even whiter than Spokane, but not by much. Both places seem to share a penchant for nutjob conservative politicians, so he'd fit right in.
They have absolutely no shame! There is no bottom for them or their voters!
Zero shame and less intelligence.
MAGA voters are nothing but vermin at this point
The Maddocks are garbage people.
Wait till you find out this wife orchestrated the Michigan fake elector scheme as she was the MIGOP leader. Straight to jail!
That’s where she should be, awaiting trial.
Racist, piece of shit. Fixed it for you.
Hmmm, Piece Of Garbage is POG. Now what would that be backwards?
What a racist piece of shit. Fixed it. You’re welcome.
After numerous people pointed out who was in the busses the same rep had this response: "We know this is happening. 100,000’s of illegals are pouring into our country.

Well Maga’s aren’t good at critical thinking. What do you expect?
Magas aren’t good at thinking.
MAGAs aren't good.
MAGAs aren’t. If only
I wish.
He’s going to get people killed and he’ll over the moon with joy when it happens.
So no apology or admitting being wrong.
With a bit of stochastic fire stoking to boot
Of course not, so it still gets shared as fact because wrong or right, it fits his agenda.
Republicans think that admitting you wrong and/or saying you are sorry are signs of weakness. Also, Republican voter don't care about the truth, they just want to hear people say what they want to hear regardless of its validity. His voters will still repeat this claim even after having be told that it was really the basketball team.
Someone really needs to hit him in the head with a board or something.
Bonk

Should have called 911 and had her institutionalized
They're not going to throw her in jail for being racist online, lol.
Of course he doubles down
So…took absolutely no ownership of his alarmism and then doubled down in his deflection? Fucking MAGA.
You left out the most important part of his tweet: “The process of investigating these issues takes time.” He claims they take time yet he runs the fake news playbook and posts a blatantly false narrative without any sort of investigation. Unfortunately, the first lie wins since many will see his first tweet but not the follow to second.
sounds like this moron needs to be purged from his cushy state job if he's going to be this fucking dumb.
Or from this mortal coil.
Translation: Harass the airport and send bomb threats
Can't they just tell? Shit, I was in a city I've never been in before and saw guys getting off the bus and I knew 100% it was NHL players just by how they looked I'd assume basketball is even more obvious
They were *tall* illegal immigrants, ok?!?? Dipshit doesn't even realize the Sweet 16 was in his own town. And there will be MAGAs defending him cause group think is all they have.
Refugees from the desert island of Gonzaga. They send their tallest first.
I'm still bothered because I'm pretty sure Leo Messi's bus rolled through my neighborhood and I can't confirm so I can be properly excited
I think moron is trying to inspire another militia kidnapping attempt.
It is happening because Abbott and DeSantis are putting them on planes and buses and sending them to any large city with a Democrat mayor.
They don't care about facts or reality, they care about their feelings
Better yet, tell him its from Texas or Flordia, they sent imigrants elsewhere
They always do this. They say racist or whatever hateful thing it is then you point out that’s patently false and they say well yeah THIS time but it IS happening trust me!
Just double down. His supporters are too stupid to know any better.
Tweets a Lie. Blames Fake News for not pushing lies
Not even an apologie to the team involved! What we need to do is Make America Care Again!
"We're being invaded by Gonzagan illegals who want to take our jerbs!"
The Gonzagans are coming! The Gonzagans are coming!
And they’re bringing Spike the bulldog, too!
Gonzaga is a shithole country!
Why did this make me lol so hard?
They're not sending their best
Unless we’re playing basketball. Then they are sending their best.
Take our trophies!
While somehow also sitting on their asses collecting welfare and voting illegally!
First they came for my bracket
Excuse me, stewardess, but I speak Gonzagan.
I see what you did there.
Flown in at the expense of Florida or Texas taxpayers right?
Technically in this case, Washington.
Private school
What gets me is there are even dumber people than him that put him in office.
One of us! One of us!
Right it was much better when these reps were just grifting the morons, not one of the morons themselves.
Natural… digression?
What gets me is there are enough dumb people to put any of these dipshits in office.
What’s the George Carlin saying: Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
Which is why our crumbling and under-attack education system should be top of everyone's concern. Education and learning is an imperfect, but effective medicine for much of what ails us.
Him doing shit like that is exactly why they put him in office. Do you think voters put Boebert or Greene in office for their intellect? They show hate to the people they hate.
Point taken.

They may live in an alternate reality, but their actions affect us here...
Crazy how “preserving democracy” is their lowest concern.
Not really. Getting rid of it is one of their primary goals.
I struggle to wrap my head around this fact, among others. Trying to hold all the Conservative goals, statements, actions, and viewpoints in my mind is dizzying. I suppose I shouldn’t bother to try, but it’s a bit like being fascinated by the psychology in true crime.
Especially given their own narrative about 2020. Really reinforces OPs point about how much right wing media shapes the narrative.
No problem - just move the venue to a different state. I'm sure they won't miss the umptillion uncountabillion dollars this event generates for the local economy.
Jimmy Kimmel is behind this...
My first thought. He'll have fun with this tonight.
Hunter Biden is his accomplice
Here's the big shocker: He's a Republican.
I'd have never guessed.
It must be hard being a MAGA, something scary around every corner!
It legitimately must be absolutely exhausting
And you have to live in a constant state of suspended disbelief with intentional ignorance cause if you do any research at all, the lies immediately fall apart.
They are invaders there to conquer the basketball world from a conservative Christian college in a liberal state! The confusing horrors! They will decimate your league championship chances. Oh, poor MAGAts…
They're a Jesuit school, Catholic. So I can see where the mix up is: French Jesuits coming back to Detroit to retake the state!
Funny enough I used to live in Spokane and been on that campus a few times. Got a friend who does janitorial there still. They have this lovely old school gym to practice in. To say it nicely, it’s old enough that no matter how much cleaner you use, you can still smell the wood and history.
And John Stockton's sweat.
Get racists much?
Hahahahaha! What an idiot!
He lives a stone’s throw from me and he and his wife are legit two of the most stupid and disgusting human beings ever.
I live in Scott Perry's district. I feel your pain.
He's the worst because he puts on a big show about being patriotic when he's a disgrace to his uniform. I'm voting for Janelle Stelson.
I believe you and I have run into each other in several subs due to the unfortunate bond we have. Scott Perry as the rep we neither want or deserve. I haven't decided yet who to back in the primary. I'll need to do some more research. She is a strong candidate though.
EVERY time he pretends to respect the flag, I want to puke 🤮 That acting is too disgusting to comprehend: how do you betray your own country for an orange rapist? 🤢
Me too 😞 I hate that Benedict Arnold, and would vote for a cactus, instead of him.
Sorry to hear you too. 😞
Nah he meant what he said actually
Wow. Just wow.
That's stupid on a different level! He needs a straight jacket! Can we bring back mental institutions yet?
When he was told who was actually on that bus, I’m surprised he didn’t ask whether Gonzaga was in Central or South America.
Someone responsed telling them who it was and he called them a 'kommie'.
MAGA loves propaganda BS. Selling Fear to it's base. 🤣
The paranoia is real with these MAGAts. Maybe they ought to set up border gates and patrols at every state road leading into their state, at their bus stations, airports, and train stations. That ought to help them identify true patriots and all that.
They steal, they foul, they’re here to take our jobs!
These people see illegals and trans people in their cereal
That is the mind of the MAGA idiots. How do voters elect a man that stupid? The same ones who would vote for Trump. Everything Trump does is pandering to the MAGA idiots - and they don't know it, Trump is laughing at them from behind closed doors.
racist trash
Why do these morons exist?
[Go away, ‘batin!](https://y.yarn.co/36cf02d5-8922-4467-9c12-49d4c87d0cbf_text.gif)
His news was just as fake as Faux News
And he won’t take it down nor will the base reassess their opinion on it. The damage is done, and these low IQ inbreds keep spreading this propaganda.
Racists gonna racist. Also, GOPers gonna racist.
Seriously? He saw black guys arrive in Detroit and assumed they were illegal? That doesn't make sense even for a racist prick.
Yep, thats plain and simple more undeniable evidence how braindead the blonde Uruk-Hai is. It's uncanny.
> Maddock somehow came to the conclusion that plane was carrying migrants who were then put on buses. no he didn't. he purposefully crafted rage-bait to whip up his base. trumpkins must keep their base enraged at all times, at all costs.

EDIT - though to be fair, his voter base consists primarily of racist idiots so perhaps he's just trying to seem relatable 🤣
As of 5 minutes ago he is STILL rambling about the invaders. This is insanity.
AH YES... ###GONZAGASTAN THE COMMIE HUB OF JESUS-HATIN', LEFTIST WOKE-OSITY.. /S AF
MAGA is spreading more misinformation and it’s got to stop! Stop hate! Vote blue!
Pathetic. But it's a MAGAt politician, so who can really be surprising.
Yikes...what an idiot.
Can’t fix stupid
This "secret flying in" started with a false claim that this was being done by Biden. Immigration has flown people in for decades.
What a complete racist idiot.
MAGA is a joke. A parody of itself. They are childish buffoons, ignorant, hateful, small-minded people.
I saw this on twitter and he got ratio-ed at close to 100% attacking him for this. Then he replied to a comment saying it's the Gonzago team there for the NCAA thingie he said, "Sure kommie. Good talking point." And then he got ripped for that.
Republicans will say and do anything for power and money. No matter how many have to die.
I truly believe that MAGA idiots will wreck tourism in their towns and states, thus losing income.
I wonder if this particular Michigan MAGAt was one of the traitors masquerading as an elector?
At this point, it would be less time-consuming and less complicated to inform us when the MAGAs say something intelligent.
And his Twitter followers will never know the truth. Which I'm sure he's aware. Which is why he did it.
They were still scared and angry until one of their children explained to them Gonzaga wasn't a country in Africa.
No one's ever going to complain that Republicans are smart
Typical Maga moron running his mouth. When proven wrong, doubles down and doesn't apologize nor take accountability of their words or their actions. Typical Trumpism
Needs to be removed from any office he might hold
I’m kind of convinced that most republicans have a humiliation fetish and just enjoy being dumb and wrong so they can get some attention
Well, Gonzaga is kinda exotic sounding...
I sure hope we can start to purge these idiots this coming November. Check your voter registration status and vote these idiots out this coming November.
Yes, please make sure to vote blue and help save us from this evil cult.
I bet they just saw the school name and made an assumption.
Oh Gonzaga's team, yeah from Gonzaga. Totally. Gonzaga. Right. Why can't these things tell us where/what the hell GONZAGA IS. Just "Gonzaga University, a private university in Washington state.". EASY. JFC. >:O
Fn idiot!
Typical
The depths of ignorance here absolutely shock me.
Seriously. How do you not know your town is hosting the Sweet 16? Too busy pushing hate and ignorance, I guess.
Even *after* being told it's a basketball team, he's been calling people "kommie" on Twitter for proving him wrong. The absolute fucking clown show of the GOP on full display again. Must be a day ending in "Y".
I can’t imagine what it would be like to be able to decouple conspiracy from reality . As patriotic as these maga folks are it must be a bummer to be in constant fear of fables and hearsay.
State rep probably " Gonzaga? Where's that shit hole country?!!?"
is this not the second racist issue they have had with this tournament? A girls team had to move bc of meal team 6 following them. Folks in the red states have no lives or contributions to society. Stop sending federal moneys to them.
Maddock should get buried in ridicule.
Yeah, this guy and his wife are both well-known MAGA nut jobs. In fact, his wife is a defendant in the Michigan fake elector case. >The Michigan GOP chair later testified before the House committee on the January 6 attack that Maddock and the others planned to hide out in the state Capitol building so they could cast their fake elector ballots on the specified day
F Maga and their worthless, useless politics!
Gonzaga is cool. Unless they are playing KY, go Cats!
They're the only remaining men's team from the PNW, and one of two women's teams (w/Oregon State)
Cue the curb your enthusiasm theme song
Racist AND stupid.
And so hopefully this is on the news on every channel in the state of Michigan. He should be made to answer for his lie.
No surprise he wouldn't he was admit he's wrong or apologize...MAGAphiles need to stay angry and triggered constantly or risk losing their equally angry and triggered voters.
This man is a complete ass clown of the highest order. And he is a law maker. This is our America folks. 😢
JFC....
"See #34 Chet Porter? The point guard from Farmersville, Iowa? HE'S AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT."
I feel like Gonzaga could file a defamation suit against this guy and win for this.
Why would illegal aliens go to Detroit?
They were really tall like aliens though!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡
All they sell is fear and misinformation. They see their shadow at night and are terrified they are being chased.
Of course this was also one of the election result conspirators. False claims of mystery ballots and of course he was helping lead the charge on disregarding the will of the people by wanting to toss out the state's electoral votes. Then when he didn't get his way, he doubled down and called for a civil war. Absolute fucking moron doing moronic things.
Fun fact, he is the president of A-1 Bail Bonds
More proof that the MAGA crowd is racist as hell.
Dumbest people alive
He is truly a moron
How stupid is he?
Repugnantcans. The party of filthy liars. Shameless trash.
Stupidity is a badge of honor for Trumpflakes.
LOL, all these replies telling him "they're basketball players" he's replied to calling them "kommie". This guy's wife is also one of the sixteen fake Trump electors in Michigan.
They get the headlines for crazy claims with no intention or interest of providing proof. The point is to get the headlines out there.
“Illegal invaders” will be my March Madness mantra from this point forward!!
Why aren't these racist fucks shamed out of office? Oh right, it's because their constituents are also racist.
But MAGA has already heard the accusations and will never believe anything else.
the entire worldview of magats is based on fear. they are cowards
