Josh Schriver is an American politician from Michigan who has represented the 66th district in the Michigan House of Representatives since the 2022 election.[1]
Controversy[edit]
On February 6, 2024, Schriver retweeted a post by Jack Posobiec promoting the white nationalist Great Replacement conspiracy theory. Several Democratic lawmakers condemned Schriver's post, including Michigan House Speaker Joe Tate who described it as "blatantly racist" and "deeply and personally" offensive.[2] Michigan House Minority Leader Matt Hall did not respond to requests for comment.[3]
As a result, on February 12, 2024, Speaker Joe Tate removed Schriver from his committee assignments and removed his office staff.[4]
