Karamo stands by Holocaust tweet issuing no apology despite outage

The Michigan Chair of the GOP is issuing no apology following a contentious tweet that sparked outrage among many in Michigan. The tweet, sent out by the official Michigan Republican Party Twitter account, alluded that gun control legislation could lead to a repeat of the Holocaust. But, what made people more outraged was the second tweet defending the first one and then during a press conference tripling down. "We are a different Republican party. We are not the Republican party who apologized and runs away from our positions," Michigan GOP Chair Kristina Karamo said. Karamo was elected last month as the new chair for the Michigan GOP. She doubled down on a tweet she sent about gun control that referenced the Holocaust and it sparked outrage for some in the Jewish community.
