It is one thing to say you don’t condone his comments and another to pull your money from his firm. Congrats to the State of Michigan!

State employees in #Michigan, you know where you stand with #Democrats. A top-performing investment advisor for your pension fund was fired for saying something non-PC. Are the Left's political points more important than the future value of your #pension?https://t.co/7sSLjBZxPc
