Former Michigander Bombarded With Angry Calls After Trump Campaign Posts Wrong Number For Michigan Lawmaker

The Trump campaign recently posted a tweet urging supporters to reach out to Michigan lawmaker Lee Chatfield (who they falsely identified as the state's House Speaker).

The President wanted supporters to pressure Chatfield into "decertifying" the state's election results. Thousands reached out to the phone number provided by the Trump campaign.


Unfortunately, the number provided did not belong to Lee Chatfield but was in fact the number of a 28-year-old Michigan native who has since moved to California.

The private citizen, who asked to be identified as O Rose, was quickly bombarded with so many calls and messages they couldn't keep up. She told The Washington Post:

"My phone can't even take it anymore — it's breaking. I was getting so many calls it was impossible to do anything with my phone."


According to the Petoskey News-Review, Rose tried at first to explain to people who reached out that she was not Chatfield, but was met with hostile disbelief in many cases.



After a while, Rose began to respond with "memes, photos of rabbits, pie recipes and more."


Rose says nothing will dissuade the Trump supporters who have been messaging her:

"For some reason, even though I send them some ridiculous things, they still think I'm Lee [Chatfield] and they still keep trying to tell me what they want and they say, 'I'm sending this to the president!'"



The California resident was made aware of the Trump campaign's mistake when their father was sent the inaccurate tweet by a friend, urging Rose's father to reach out to Chatfield.

Rose is more than a little frustrated by the Trump campaign's incompetence.

"I'm being personally affected by a decision that [Trump] made without fact-checking, and that's the silliest thing I've ever heard."


For many online, it seems the Trump campaign is simply unable to do anything right.

Which is unsurprising, considering they lost the election two months ago and are continuing to insist things aren't over.


Though Donald Trump's incompetence is particularly noticeable to many at times such as this, Republican lawmakers continue to stand by him and encourage their followers to do the same.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
