MI Democrat Removed From Committees, Facing ‘Investigations’ After Making ‘Threats’ Against Trump Supporters

Democratic state Rep. Cynthia Johnson of Michigan has been stripped of her committee assignments and may face “further disciplinary action” following a video in which she allegedly threatened supporters of President Donald Trump.

Speaker of the Michigan House Rep. Lee Chatfield announced the actions taken against Johnson after a Facebook video she posted on Tuesday went viral Wednesday morning. Chatfield denounced threats of violence and said that Johnson had been stripped of her committee assignments while “the proper authorities conduct their own investigations.”
