A growing controversy surrounds Michigan State Senator and U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow, fueled by the resurfacing of thousands of deleted tweets. These posts reveal a starkly different perspective than the one she now presents to voters, raising questions about her true feelings toward the state she seeks to represent.
Recently, McMorrow purged approximately 6,000 posts from her social media accounts. Among them were expressions of longing for California and unsettling thoughts about a fractured nation, painting a picture at odds with her current campaign messaging.
In a tweet from January 2017, just before the certification of Donald Trump’s election, McMorrow lamented, “There are days like these that make me miss California even more.” This sentiment, repeated in response to another post, suggests a deep-seated preference for her former home.
Even more revealing was a deleted musing from weeks before Trump’s inauguration. McMorrow envisioned a scenario where the United States peacefully divided, with “Middle America” separating from the coastal regions and Mexico.
The unearthed tweets also highlight a surprising stance on the automotive industry, the backbone of Michigan’s economy. McMorrow once declared, “Cars are dead,” advocating for a future where personal vehicle ownership is obsolete.
Further complicating matters is a discrepancy regarding her residency. While her 2025 autobiography claims she “relocated permanently” to Michigan in 2014, deleted posts indicate continued involvement in California politics well into 2016.
Records show McMorrow actively encouraged California voters to register for the June 2016 Democratic primary and identified herself as a constituent of a California congressman as late as July of that year. She also referenced voting in person in Los Angeles in November 2014.
She officially registered to vote in Michigan in August 2016, creating a timeline that clashes with her stated history of permanent relocation. This raises questions about the accuracy of her public narrative.
The controversy extends beyond past social media posts. In December, McMorrow publicly stated she would struggle to contain herself if confronted by Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, even joking about physical aggression.
This combination of deleted tweets and recent statements has ignited scrutiny, forcing voters to re-examine McMorrow’s authenticity and her commitment to representing the interests of all Michiganders.
