SOCIAL MEDIA/TRUMP CAMPAIGN: “On Sunday, the [Trump] campaign asked supporters to call two Michigan state lawmakers and demand a vote to decertify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in a state he won by more than 150,000 votes. The campaign posted numbers and emails for Michigan state Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R) and former Michigan House speaker Lee Chatfield (R).
Not only did the post, which President Trump also re-shared to more than 35 million followers on his own Facebook page, falsely identify Chatfield as the current speaker, it also gave the wrong number for the former lawmaker.
Instead, that number belongs to Rose.
Since midday Sunday, Rose, a Petoskey, Mich., native whose story was first reported by the Petoskey News-Review, said they have received thousands of angry and threatening calls and text messages from people all over the country.”
