Recently, the Orange Felon tagged reality TV star and fake lumberjack Sean Duffy to be the Secretary of Transportation. But Duffy wasn’t the Felon’s first choice. That honor went to Tim Michels is a GOP carpetbagger from Connecticut who ran in 2018 to be the governor of Wisconsin. Like the California carpetbagger, Eric Hovde, Michels ran as a mini-me to the Orange Felon and like Hovde, got sent back to his home state with his tail between his legs.
Per a report written by Dan Bice of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Felon had more than 500,000 reasons why he wanted Michels:
MIchels, his two brothers and each of their spouses gave a total of $503,600 to a Trump-aligned political action committee, a Trump fundraising committee and the Republican National Committee — all on the same day in late September.
