Setting the Record Straight: The Truth About the Kevin Cramer Incident and the Lies MAGA Supporters Tell

Michael Quinn, known as “Kadizzle” on his blog, has long been a vocal critic of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. In response, MAGA supporters have repeatedly dredged up a 2017 incident involving Senator Kevin Cramer to smear Kadizzle’s character. Here’s what really happened — and how the truth has been twisted.

In 2017, Kadizzle attended a town hall hosted by Senator Cramer in Mandan, North Dakota. He came with a list of thoughtful questions, hoping for a real discussion. Before the event began, Kadizzle and Cramer even shared a brief, cordial conversation about Social Security, during which they agreed on adjusting the income cap.

But once the meeting started, it became clear the crowd was stacked with MAGA loyalists lobbing softball questions. Kadizzle, frustrated by the lack of substance and Cramer's evasive answers, occasionally stood up to challenge him. One particularly offensive moment came when someone asked about gun silencers — an absurd diversion from the real issues facing everyday people.

Then, a young woman stood up to ask an emotional question about healthcare for her infant born with severe birth defects. Tearful and nervous, she pleaded with Cramer to support long-term care under the Affordable Care Act. Cramer dodged her question. Kadizzle, outraged, asked how Cramer could support an $800 billion tax break for the rich while denying care to a struggling mother. Someone in the audience shouted, “I don’t mind paying taxes to help her!”

In that moment, Kadizzle acted on impulse. He pulled out $23 and attempted to give it to Cramer, thinking others might do the same to help the woman. Cramer brushed the money away. When Kadizzle tried to slip it into Cramer’s coat pocket, Cramer again refused. Finally, Kadizzle placed the money down Cramer’s shirt collar — a gesture of protest, not aggression. He was promptly removed by the police.

What MAGA supporters won’t tell you is what happened earlier. Before the money incident, a man attempted to physically intimidate Kadizzle by placing a chair directly beside him and then choking him when he stood to speak. That man — not Kadizzle — was thrown out by police. However, when the story went national, media outlets spliced the two incidents together, misleadingly portraying the chokehold as a defense against Kadizzle’s protest.

Years later, Gary Morris — the head of the Republican Party in Payson, Arizona — used the distorted Cramer story in a smear campaign against Kadizzle, who had since become a prominent local advocate for gun control. Morris falsely claimed that Kadizzle was arrested twice for assault in North Dakota. But even Senator Cramer himself said on the Rob Port radio show that he was not assaulted.

Morris went a step further, digging up arrest records for a different man named Michael Quinn in North Dakota and falsely claiming it was the same person who writes this blog. To put the matter to rest, Kadizzle hired a private investigation firm — William T. Butcher and Associates — to conduct a nationwide search. Their report confirmed that this Michael Quinn has never been arrested anywhere in the United States.

Despite the evidence, Morris and other MAGA Republicans continue to spread this false narrative. Why? Because they fear people who speak the truth — and Kadizzle does exactly that.
