Michigan legislator files bill to register fact-checkers

You can’t make this up. The Detroit News reports:

A Michigan lawmaker who’s been at the center of efforts to question the 2020 election introduced a bill Tuesday that would require “fact checkers” to register with the state.

Fact-checkers would be required to post $1 million bond. Needless to say, the bill is unconstitutional.

The legislator in question is Rep. Matt Maddock, a Republican, who also proposed impeaching Gov. Gretchen Whitmer over the COVID-19 restrictions she implemented.
