The liberal media tends to protect its own, with Democrat and left wing guests getting a pass on their past statements and actions, and rarely asking follow-up questions to their outrageous claims. But Sunday on CNN's Inside Politics, those privileges were not granted to Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow, who is one of three Democrats running for the seat in the U.S. Senate being vacated by Democrat Gary Peters, and who has admitted to deleting thousands of tweets, and to voting in California, after claiming to have moved to Michigan permanently.
Host Manu Raju, also CNN's Chief Congressional Correspondent, started by questioning discrepancies in McMorrow's residency history according to her autobiography and media posts.
RAJU: The [CNN] KFILE report showed that you wrote in your 2025 autobiography that you, quote, relocated permanently to Michigan in 2014. But there are social media posts of yours where you describe yourself as a California resident in 2016. And the reason why this is an issue is because you posted, you voted in June 2016, democratic primary in California. And I don't need to tell you, but of course, you're required to vote in the state you're a resident of. So why would you be voting in California two years after moving to Michigan?
McMorrow tried to blame it all on a very long moving process, but it didn't satisfy Raju.
McMORROW: So we decided to move to Michigan in 2014. I was still working in southern California. My then boyfriend, now husband, was working in Michigan. Like a lot of millennials, moving takes time. It was a two year process to finally settle in Michigan, and I registered to vote in Michigan in August of 2016 and voted in the general election in November that year.
RAJU: But you wrote you relocated permanently in 2014, and you also posted an Instagram post that you had moved out of California, and that was before the June 16th primary in that state. Should you have voted in the 2016 primary in California?
McMORROW: We still had our place out in southern California. And as I mentioned, we had multiple jobs. Moving is ugly.
RAJU: You had criticized the Twitter user in 2024 for voting in Michigan after moving to California, you called it illegal then?
McMORROW: Yeah, absolutely. If you are doing that intentionally after moving permanently to a place that is illegal. But in our case, it was a two year process. And when I was finally a permanent resident in Michigan, that is where I registered and that is where I voted.
RAJU: Okay, so it sounds like you shouldn't have said you relocated permanently in your autobiography.
McMORROW: We made the decision to permanently relocate, but it does take time. And yeah, could have worded it a little bit differently.
Raju, who was not holding back one bit, then pressed McMorrow on her 2016 posts that indicated she favored rural America being more understanding of "coastal elites". She blamed Trump.
RAJU: So do you stand by that sentiment that rural parts of America can learn from coastal elites?
McMORROW: I think we all need to understand each other better. Trump has succeeded in weaponizing us against each other, convincing us that we are each other's enemies....Was it the most eloquent tweet I've ever tweeted? No, I've tweeted thousands of times. There is a level of authenticity and just grappling, in the wake of the 2016 election, of how somebody like Donald Trump could have been elected.
Raju soon turned to her mass deletions.
RAJU: Why delete these 6,000 tweets? Because you did it after the New York Post had reported on it.... I mean, there were things that you suggested there, even there are parallels between Nazi Germany and what was happening in America under Trump. Why delete these after you became a candidate? Did you think they were going to be too problematic for you in this election?
Once again, her answer was pathetic.
McMORROW: This was a decision to delete everything prior to 2020.... It's cleaning up social media, which I think is something everybody should take do.
Why was Raju so aggressive? Possibly because he believes that current MI Congresswoman Haley Stevens, is the most mainstream of the three candidates, which also include Abdul El-Sayed, and would have the best chance of holding the seat for the Democrats. Speculation.
