MI-GOV: GOP gubernatorial candidate repeatedly threatens to hang elected officials for 'treason'

[RandySF]

Anthony Hudson, a Genesee County truck driver running for the Republican nomination for governor, has made a habit of threatening elected officials with hanging for “treason,” making such threats at least twice since the start of 2026.

On Jan. 4, in a video posted to Hudson’s social media, he says, “It’s time to get the rope” — while holding a large loop of rope around his arm — as a call to action to “Michiganians and patriots” against politicians who he alleges received kickbacks from former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, including Michigan’s U.S. Sens. Elissa Slotkin and Gary Peters, both Democrats.

“My hope is that every one of them will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and may their names forever live in shame for their treason,” he says in the video.

Less than a month later, on Feb. 1, in a Mason City Council meeting, speaking in opposition to data center development, Hudson again threatened elected officials — this time local government officials — with hanging.

3. Hopefully this bat shit crazy redneck gets the nomination

Maybe we need to cross over to vote for him in the primary. In Michigan you get a ballot with both parties candidates for the primary. While you can't flip flop between offices (you have to vote entirely for Democratic candidates or Republicans), you don't have to declare a party affiliation when you check in to vote.
