Michigan GOP, executive director who criticized Trump part ways

Lansing — Michigan Republican Party Executive Director Jason Roe said he has resigned, a development that comes amid turmoil in the state GOP over former President Donald Trump.

Roe, a longtime political consultant who had been targeted by devout Trump supporters within the party for past comments critical of the ex-president, confirmed his resignation on Wednesday. Businessman Ron Weiser, who won a race to be the chairman of the Michigan GOP in early February, hired Roe for the leadership job.

"I have resigned my position as executive director and the reasons will remain between me and Chairman Weiser," Roe said in a text message. "We've built an amazing team and I know they will be very successful in 2022. I look forward to helping any way I can."
