'Joyful warrior' former U.S. Rep. Paul Mitchell dies at 64

[TexasTowelie]

Former U.S. Rep. Paul Mitchell (I-Dryden Twp.), who left the Republican Party over leadership indulging former President Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, died at age 64 on Monday after being diagnosed with stage IV renal cancer earlier this year.

He spent 40 days in the hospital in June following a removal of a mass and blood clot near his heart. Mitchell’s last hospital stay was in July.

Mitchell told WJR-AM in June that it was “pretty shocking to get that kind of diagnosis,” and maintained that he would not go down without a fight.

“They give me a 50/50 chance of getting into remission,” Mitchell said. “But, either way, I’m going to go down swinging.”

2. I noticed that error also.

However, I think that TFG is supposed to be reinstated on June 36.

3. He was my rep...

and he voted for Trump. This article makes it sound like he left because of the Trump-supporting GOP'ers in Congress but he was one of them. Make no mistake about that.
