Gutsy undercover reporting from @noturtlesoup17 shows how easy it is for insurrectionism-endorsing fascists to gain access to GOP mainstream. Some of these extremists have close ties to Gavin Wax’s New York Young Republican Club and Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA.

Take Shane Trejo, a Big League Politics propagandist. He used to write for Wax and co-host a podcast with a neo-Nazi. Then he became chair of Michigan's 11th District GOP Committee. Trejo is a Stop the Steal guy. He's big into voter suppression. Also has smooth pickup lines.

And he's played a key role in the Republican effort to undermine fair elections in Michigan and scuttle democracy from within. The amount of damage Trejo and his extremist confederates have done may only come into focus next year.

Though no longer the GOP committee chairman, Trejo left the org in the capable hands of William Rauwerdink, a convicted felon responsible for one of the largest financial frauds in Michigan history. It's tough to see how anything could go wrong here.
