Michigan Journalists Call Out Mike Rogers Support For War In Iran Amidst Affordability Crisis
Journalists On “Off The Record With Tim Skubick” Call Out Mike Rogers’ Support For War In Iran, Scrutinize His Ties To Big Pharma
MICHIGAN – In a recent Correspondent Edition of OFF THE RECORD with Tim Skubick, a panel—featuring Colin Jackson from Michigan Public Radio, M.L. Elrick from the Detroit Free Press, and Lauren Gibbons and Simon Schuster from Bridge Michigan—discussed Mike Rogers’ long support for Donald Trump’s illegal war with Iran and his checkered history as champion for the pharmaceutical industry.
- Colin Jackson: “[Rogers] is saying this war is raising prices for people and we need to end the war. He’s not saying that this war was a mistake and that we shouldn’t have started this in the first place. I think that’s the key difference, if he was really breaking with Trump and really criticizing [the war], he would have questioned why we’re there in the first place.”
- M.L. Elrick: “There’s a freedom fuel that opened up by my house a month ago. Within three weeks it was up a dollar a gallon… It’s too late to say you want to end the war in Iran now, you needed to be there in the beginning.”
- Tim Skubick: “When [Mike Rogers] stood in front of the ambassador bridge, knowing in the back of his mind that big pharma has sent him a boatload of money, and now all of a sudden he’s against big pharma?”
- Lauren Gibbons: “[Abdul El-Sayed] has consistently been against the war in Iran and has called for an end to the conflict.”
Michigan can see through the desperate attempts of the Rogers campaign to represent Mike Rogers as anything other than what he is: a corrupt, corporate, career politician who is running to be Donald Trump’s rubber stamp. Michiganders are sick of Mike Rogers’ lies and support for Donald Trump’s price hikes and are ready to send him back to his home in Florida on November 3rd.
