❌ A Ukrainian Republican who was convicted of stealing money from a church lost in the Michigan election
Taras Nykoryak publicly declared support for Israel and Ukraine, while also stating that he visited Ukraine in 2022 and 2023, where he allegedly “personally saw at local flea markets goods and equipment” that, he claimed, had been provided by the United States, ADASTRA notes.
In 2016, Nykoryak was sentenced to 16 months in federal prison for illegally cashing ("redeeming") U.S. bonds belonging to St. Andrew’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church, totaling more than $70 thousand.
That did not stop Nykoryak from running for various offices in his state: Wayne County sheriff and other elective positions as a Republican candidate in a heavily Democratic district, although he had no real chance of winning. He also lost the race for the Michigan House of Representatives from district 13, where he was beaten by Democrat Donavan McKinney.
