Michigan state Senator Mallory McMorrow, who’s running for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat, is under fire for lying in her memoir about when she moved from California to Michigan, insulting rural areas, and comparing the Trump administration to Nazis.
After CNN exposed that she had deleted thousands of questionable tweets insulting the Midwest, Michigan, and the auto industry, McMorrow tried to recover in a CNN interview. It didn’t go well.
CNN: “Why would you be voting in California 2 years after moving to Michigan?”

MCMORROW: “Moving takes time.”
CNN: "You had criticized a Twitter user in 2024 for voting in Michigan after moving to California, you called it illegal..."
MCMORROW: “Yeah, absolutely." pic.twitter.com/kE4xYSuXdo
McMorrow apparently voted in California two years after she claimed that she moved to Michigan. She posted on social media that the Midwest needs to understand coastal elites better.

CNN: “Do you stand by that sentiment that rural parts of America can learn from coastal elites?”
MCMORROW: "I stand by that."

About a week after another failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump and his cabinet, McMorrow continued to stoke outrage that fueled killing attempts from young, Left-Wing men.

CNN: “Do you personally see parallels between Nazi Germany and what’s happening under the Trump administration?”
MCMORROW: “Yeah, I do.”
She must want more assassination attempts. pic.twitter.com/Ht1og6TcFh
Possibly the wildest part of this is that McMorrow compared the Trump administration to Nazis while Democrats support Graham Platner, a man with a Nazi tattoo on his chest. But he's a Democrat, so it's (D)ifferent.
She says this while the Democrats back a guy in Maine with a literal Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest. https://t.co/jQck7yiYFb

“could’ve worded it a little bit differently” is a weird, sheepish way to concede to lying in her memoir about when she moved to Michigan https://t.co/kTrGxne4M6

McMorrow is running against U.S. Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11) and Abdul El-Sayed for the Senate seat.
This crap is so lazy and irresponsible. https://t.co/KaMmmS5Ma7

Holy cow, this is a McMorrow page…

And this is the best defense they can come up with? That the lady who deleted tweets is authentic?
Wouldn’t authentic be keeping them up? https://t.co/VXG9xofdW2
