Matt Maddock, a GOP state representative from Michigan, claimed buses at an airport were full of "illegals." They carried the Gonzaga basketball team.

March Madness is certainly in full swing.

On Friday, the fifth-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs take on the top-ranked Purdue Boilermakers in the Sweet 16 round of the men’s NCAA basketball tournament in Detroit. It should be an epic showdown for a dominant pair of teams, but Michigan State Rep. Matt Maddock apparently had issues more pressing than college sports in mind when he posted an alarming tweet on Wednesday night.

“Happening right now,” Maddock wrote. “Three busses [sic] just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?” Attached to the tweet were grainy photos of white buses at Detroit’s airport and a plane. He tagged Pete Hoekstra, a former representative for Michigan in Congress and Ambassador to the Netherlands under Donald Trump.

    How the hell is he allowed to get away with that and not being forced to resign in disgrace?

      Conservatives are immune to all forms of shame except the deep-rooted sexual kind.

      They’d have to catch him in bed with the basketball team before he’d quit.
