McMorrow Defends Deleting 6,000 Tweets and Past California Voting in CNN Interview

Scrutiny of her past online posts becomes a test for Democrats in Michigan’s tight Senate primary.

Overview

  • McMorrow, questioned on CNN Sunday, said she erased roughly 6,000 tweets as part of a broad cleanup and argued voters want authenticity.
  • Pressed on why she voted in California after saying she relocated to Michigan in 2014, she said moving took time and noted she registered in Michigan in August 2016.
  • She stood by posts that praised California and criticized rural America, and she reaffirmed comparing Trump’s administration to Nazi Germany as an authoritarian warning.
  • Primary rival Rep. Haley Stevens called the remarks out of touch and said they could be a liability in a general election against likely Republican nominee Mike Rogers.
  • CNN’s KFile used web archives to recover the deleted posts, turning routine social media purges into a live campaign issue as other contenders, including Abdul El‑Sayed, have also removed old content.
