Michigan Republicans are just a special breed of stupid. This one was recently arrested, though not as yet charged, chasing a stripper from his home while brandishing a handgun and threatening to kill her. Rep. Friske maintains his "innocence" and says he was set up by unscrupulous individuals who were out to get him. He would not elaborate or provide any evidence of his accusations.
Despite all this, Friske is still out there campaigning, as he was last night.

LANSING, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) -- Michigan state Representative Neil Friske (R-Charlevoix) said he is "confident" that he will be exonerated, after he was arrested last week for what police called a felony-level offense.
He also claimed that he is "being framed" during a radio interview.
Friske was arrested at around 2:45 a.m. on Thursday in an area in Lansing where he owns a condominium, after Lansing Police received a report of a possible sexual assault of a woman, as well as a report of possible shots fired.
"As Conservative Republicans, we are well aware of the biased media coverage of incidents involving us," Friske said in a written statement Monday. "Despite their false narratives, I maintain my innocence."
"I am confident that this investigation will totally exonerate me," Friske continued.
