Commerce Township — A group of Michigan Republicans voted Saturday afternoon to remove Kristina Karamo as chairwoman of the party, but Karamo vowed to disregard the meeting in Oakland County as illegitimate. 

A video from inside the gathering, which wasn't open to the media, showed Republicans cheering once it was announced that Karamo had been ousted. About 88% of the 45 individuals participating in the vote supported unseating Karamo, who became the party's chairwoman in February, according to the announcement in the video.

"This is an illegitimate meeting," said Dan Browe, 75, a Republican who was protesting outside the meeting. "You and I can stand here and say, 'OK, we're going to vote Joe Biden out of office.' We don't have any authorization. We can gather, we can talk about it, but we don't have standing."

Browe, alongside a small crowd of other Republican protestors, carried a sign that read "CHAOS: ANOTHER J6 PSYOP" as he stood outside.

"THE INSURRECTION OF THE MICHIGAN REPUBLICAN PARTY," Browe's sign read. "THIS IS ONE ELECTION YOU'RE NOT TAKING FROM US."

Other protesters also drew comparisons between Saturday's meeting and the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol three years ago, citing inner turmoil in the Michigan GOP base that they said was resurfacing in the wake of another presidential election.
