Michigan GOP co-chair calls gay Transportation secretary ‘weak little girl’ – Oil City Derrick

LANSING, Mich. — Meshawn Maddock, the co-chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party, labeled Pete Buttigieg, the U.S. secretary of transportation and a gay former officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve, a “weak little girl” in a tweet Sunday.

Maddock’s post drew immediate criticism from Democrats with state Rep. Samantha Steckloff, D-Farmington Hills, calling on Republicans “to stand up against this garbage” and to ask for Maddock’s “immediate removal.”
