Michigan businessman’s shaming of Republicans who blocked vote certification goes viral

Video of a Michigan businessman shaming two Republicans who blocked certification of votes in the Detroit area has gone viral.

Ned Staebler was celebrated on social media for warning the two members of the Wayne County Board of canvassers “how history will judge them.”

The two officials, who are both white, had originally voted to block the certification of votes before backtracking and allowing the board to unanimously certify the results from Michigan’s biggest county.

Both Republicans had suggested not certifying those votes from the Detroit area of the county, which is predominantly Black.
