The Wayne County, Michigan, GOP chairwoman was allegedly bitten by a rambunctious protester at a Detroit rally last weekend for Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon.

The protester, a teacher in the Dearborn School district, attended the rally, holding a sign for Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI), and witnesses said she seemed to have her mind set on disturbing the event, ABC 7 Detroit reported. Wayne County GOP Chairwoman Cheryl Costantino said the woman attempted to move toward the stage, but Costantino stepped in and blocked her; that’s when she felt a bite on her arm.

“She was acting so chaotic that I was worried she would go after the speakers or something or hurt somebody,” Costantino said.

“I’ve never been bit by an adult in my life, or anyone over 5,” she added after the bizarre incident. Costantino said that her arm bruised and was in pain in the days following the incident.

One of the witnesses, Linda Sawyer, told local news that she confronted the protester after the event and said the woman seemed proud of what she did.

Costantino filed a police report with the Detroit Police, and a spokesperson for the department told ABC 7 that they were investigating the incident. The Dearborn Public School district is also looking into the allegations made against one of its teachers. The woman denied all allegations and claimed she had been the one attacked.

The county Republican chairwoman said no one should resort to any sort of violence over political disagreements. “It’s not worth going to jail over or getting charges brought against you,” Costantino commented. “It’s one thing to fight for what you believe in, but not physically.”

The Michigan governor’s race is a barn burner as the campaigns make their final pitches before the election next Tuesday. The latest poll from Mitchell Research/MIRS showed Whitmer leading by a mere two points as Republicans hope to ride a late surge in the state and across the country. The governor maintains a four-point lead, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.

Joe Rogan, host of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” suggested during an episode this week that foreign nations might be behind spreading “woke ideologies” on social media that are akin to “a cult.”

“People are mad at me because I said it’s gonna be a red wave like the elevator doors open up in ‘The Shining,’” Rogan said earlier during the interview with musician Suzanne Santo. “Like, I’m not saying that, I’m just saying this is what I see, like you got to recognize what’s happening, folks, people are getting sick with this woke ideology getting crammed down everybody’s f***ing throats.”

“And it’d be really weird if we find out this was engineered,” Rogan later added. “It would be really weird if we find out that foreign countries have been infecting social media.”

“I’m sure it is. I mean, like, think about it, like, think about how wrapped up, how easy it is to get wrapped up and not be exactly sure what thoughts are your own, from looking at your f***ing phone,” Santo responded.

“And to have a group of people that you identify with that have a very specific ideology that they support,” Rogan said. “And if you’re on that side, you must support that ideology. So when certain things come up, you just say, ‘Yes, this is what I’m supposed to say.’ And you haven’t thought about it. And then it’s quietly when people are alone, they go, ‘I don’t know about this.’”

Rogan and Santo both said that they believe that wokeness is “a cult.”

TRANSCRIPT:

SUZANNE SANTO: What’s sad is that I used to really be so scared to talk about this stuff. And like, now I’m at this point where like, I got nothing to lose. I mean, like, I don’t, it’s just like, having logical conversations around this stuff. Feelings are not facts. Like, they’re just, they’re not. And the way that, you know, people are running rampant with their emotions, and ruining their lives, as well as others, you know, is so dangerous. And I really want to be able to have conversations and also be wrong and be like, scientifically told that I’m incorrect, you know, around all this stuff. But it’s, it’s so sad. I mean, people are so angry. And you know, yeah, it’s just social contagions and mental illness.

JOE ROGAN: And it’d be really weird if we find out this was engineered. It would be really weird if we find out that foreign countries have been infecting social media.

SANTO: I’m sure it is. I mean, like, think about it, like, think about how wrapped up, how easy it is to get wrapped up and not be exactly sure what thoughts are your own, from looking at your f***ing phone.

ROGAN: And to have a group of people that you identify with that have a very specific ideology that they support. And if you’re on that side, you must support that ideology. So when certain things come up, you just say, “Yes, this is what I’m supposed to say.” And you haven’t thought about it. And then it’s quietly when people are alone, they go, “I don’t know about this.”

SANTO: Yeah, yeah, that’s a cult.

ROGAN: Yeah, it is a cult. It’s very similar to a cult. Yeah, it’s very similar to a lot of, you know, mental contagions. Because that does happen with people, that’s, you know, we’re a f***ing very strange species, we’re very easily influenced and malleable. And we’re also like, very hardline, and, like, when we believe something, we want other people to believe it. We want to form, we want to win that argument, win that argument, that my idea is the best idea.

SANTO: I don’t feel that way. I’m not, I’m not, I mean, I just want to have a good time. Like, I just want to, like, I want to give love, receive love, enjoy my life experience. If there’s hard conversations that need to be had, I am not the most intelligent person in the room. So I’m going to learn and I’m going to listen. But, you know, in my own personal life experience, I can speak eloquently and, you know, powerfully on my own side of the street, but with this stuff, like, that’s where, like, I reading James Lindsay and Douglas Murray and Gad Saad. Like, they are so brilliant.

ROGAN: Logical intellectuals.

SANTO: Logical, critical thinking. And that’s where I get, like, my, you know, refreshing wave of confidence with this stuff.
