During a radio interview on the morning before Michigan's electors to the Electoral College were to meet at the capital, Eisen claimed there would be some kind of "Hail Mary" effort regarding a plan to prevent electors from casting a vote. When asked if he can assure the that it will be a safe day in Lansing and that nobody will get hurt, Eisen replied "No. I don't know. Because what we're doing today is uncharted".^[1]

Shortly after the interview, Michigan Republican House speaker Lee Chatfield and Speaker-Elect Jason Wentworth released a statement disavowing any threat of violence or intimidation. The two leaders also announced Eisen would be removed from his committee assignments for the rest of the term^[2] Editsforthebest (talk) 16:34, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
