One Lone Reporter Thinks Gretchen Whitmer Is in Trouble if She Tries to Go National

I don't think she will try national but who knows.

Michigan Legislature Eliminates Whitmer Emergency Power Law and She Can't Veto

She had the power to mandate masks ripped right out of her hands.

Well, after a somewhat emotionally draining day watching and reading about what happened in Israel, I just happened to peruse the front page of this fine site and found an article from my colleague Bonchie who wrote about the governor of Michigan right here: Gretchen Whitmer Manages to Confuse and Enrage With Her Palestinian Invasion Response

From that post:

As expected, there have been a lot of truly terrible takes shared about the recent Palestinian invasion of Israel. Despite shocking videos showing women and children being tortured and murdered in the streets, members of the Democrat "squad," including Rep. Ilhan Omar, still managed to draw a moral equivalency and demand a ceasefire that it just so happens would save Hamas. What a coincidence, right?

But while those statements weren't ambiguous, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's post on the matter left people completely confused as well as angry. Really, can someone tell me what the heck this is?

I have been in touch with communities impacted by what’s happening in the region. It is abhorrent. My heart is with all those impacted. We need peace in this region.

I'm actually shocked she didn't blame Donald Trump for this and call for an immediate ceasefire.

So, of course, as Bonchie correctly points out in his post, she is essentially trying to thread a needle here that doesn't really need to be threaded. Whitmer is playing footsie with vagueness in the hopes that she can skate away clean and nobody will notice.

Bonchie did, though, and so did many others. 

She is not as crass in her response as her fellow gal pals in the Squad — The 'Squad' Responds to the Palestinian Murder Spree in the Most Morally Bankrupt Way — but it is still on the wrong side of history and just plain old morality.

However, I'm truly not surprised by this.

In addition to some of her actions as governor, highlighted above, she was also one of the governors who did some questionable things during COVID that should have scared the crap out of people. 

Mostly the elderly in nursing homes.

As some of you might recall, Gretchen Whitmer had a political crush on both Andrew Cuomo of New York and Dr. Anthony Fauci of "I am the science" fame. She followed them and their actions and recommendations without question, and her administration was sued by Charlie LeDuff

Pulitzer Winning Journalist Announces COVID Death Count Lawsuit Against Michigan Governor

From that article:

LeDuff is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and currently, the host of the No Bullshit News Hour heard over on the Red Shovel Network here in the Detroit area of the mitten state. For over 20 years he has developed a reputation of taking on stories and subjects that people will ignore or don’t want talked about. With this story, he has taken on a doozy in announcing he is joining forces with the Mackinac Center to sue Governor Whitmer to release the COVID-19 death toll data in nursing homes.

LeDuff announced this action was being taken on his show after speaking with the incredible Janice Dean. The Fox News meteorologist has almost single-handedly made the New York story of how Andrew Cuomo has refused to release similar data in that state after the death of her in-laws last year and made it national news.

Here is what LeDuff said on his show…

The Whitmer administration has not fulfilled my request or our request on the No Bullshit News Hour for COVID death data that may shed light on the true extent of the nursing home devastation. This, in my opinion, is a violation of state law, and more so and this is not an opinion, it is a danger and a disservice to our institutionalized elders who have borne the brunt of the suffering and continue to bear it. (Guv) Cuomo in New York is now under Federal investigation, a second one apparently for misleading the public whose nursing home playbook was copied by (Guv) Whitmer. This in the aftermath of an investigation conducted by the office of the New York State Attorney General, a democrat.

LeDuff continues:

Release the data Madame Governor but she won’t, so Steve Deliee the lead policy lawyer on transparency and open government with the august and well regarded Mackinac Center the non-partisan think tank here in Michigan, they have agreed to take our case to sue the Whitmer administration for the death data in these nursing homes.

So if you are willing to pass the buck on innocent lives in nursing homes, why should innocent lives anywhere matter?

I know that sounds a bit harsh, but the fact of the matter is we live in a beyond-harsh society and the time for just shuffling by and mumbling is over. We all need to get involved and call out those who are not willing to call out evil when they see it. 

For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing.

That or refuse to tweet calling it out.
