Meijer: Tick Tock
Trump endorses primary challenger to Peter Meijer in Michigan
Former President Trump on Monday threw his support behind former Housing and Urban Development (HUD) official John Gibbs, who is mounting a primary challenge to Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.).
Meijer, a first-term representative who joined nine other House Republicans in voting to impeach Trump in January.
“Meyer has been a terrible representative of the Republican Party and beyond,” Trump said in a statement, misspelling Meijer’s last name. “John Gibbs is a fabulous talent who loves the State, our Military, and our Vets. He will always protect our Second Amendment, our Southern Border, and the Police – there will be no defunding with John!”

West Michigan congressional hopeful John Gibbs, who is challenging GOP U.S. Rep. Peter Meijer of Grand Rapids Township, spoke of his work at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under Trump and his opposition to COVID-19 relief funds for the agency, advocating instead to get people back to work by ending “the stupid lockdowns.” Gibbs is endorsed by Trump.
He also attacked Meijer, calling him a RINO for voting to impeach the former president over the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Trump encouraged voters to oust Meijer in the August primary because of his impeachment vote, riffing on what he saw as the odd pronunciation of the Meijer name. Most Michigan residents are familiar with the name because of the Meijer family's supermarket chain in the Midwest.
What "the hell kind of a spelling is that?" Trump asked.
