Haley Stevens’ staff has resigned following the Democratic lawmaker’s decision to jump ship and endorse Republican Mike Rogers for Senate.

Just hours after Rep. Stevens (D-Mich.) officially endorsed Republican Senate nominee Rogers on Sunday, Justin German, Stevens’ chief of staff, said he and many members of his team had resigned.

“As Haley Stevens’ chief of staff for eight years, I speak on behalf of our team in wholeheartedly supporting Abdul El-Sayed for Senate,” German said Sunday in a statement. “This election is too important to sow division or stand on the sidelines. We are shocked and heartbroken by Congresswoman Stevens’ decision to support Mike Rogers.”

    There’s stupid, and then theres Haley Stevens stupid. The mossad agents must have some serious leverage on her. Wonder what she did to allow herself to be the ultimate rag doll puppet.

      I doubt they needed to threaten her at all, a relatively small bag of money would be enough for this bitch. And a lobbying job, of course.

      Some people are just truly shitty people willing to do anything to stay relevant or make a buck. You really don’t need to have some alphabet man with a gun to a head to get people to do objectively horrible things. It’s why it always upsets people to see how little it actually takes to bribe a politician, they don’t really have any foundational beliefs, so they sell for cheap.
