A man who was once the leading Republican candidate for governor in Michigan — after his arrest on charges related to January 6 — has just pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour.
Ryan Kelley became the latest prominent Republican to be caught up in the prosecution of those who attacked the US Capitol when he was arrested last June. The news gave him a temporary polling bump in the Michigan gubernatorial primary, as voters apparently saw his participation in a violent riot that injured dozens of police officers to be a positive aspect of his candidacy.
