Matt Maddock

If you see something, consider whether you have any idea what you’re talking about before saying something.

Matt Maddock is a state legislator in Michigan. On Wednesday, he posted photographs of an airplane and a few buses on the service formerly known as Twitter. “Three busses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro,” he wrote. “Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?” He tagged the chair of the state party, Pete Hoekstra, who reposted the message. Turns out that some folks did know where the buses were headed, because they were carrying the Gonzaga men’s basketball team, which was in town to play a Friday-night NCAA Tournament game against Purdue. Anyone else thinking what I’m thinking (that Matt Maddock is a good candidate to fill the Ronna McDaniel spot at NBC News)?
