Michigan state Rep. Karen Whitsett (D-Detroit) is set to be punished by her local Democratic Party committee for meeting with President Trump and crediting him with helping to save her life from the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus by his urging of consideration of hydroxychloroquine treatment.
Whitsett went to the White House earlier this month where she met with Trump, Vice President Pence and other COVID-19 survivors.
The Detroit News reported on the Democrats’ plan to punish Whitsett (excerpt):
Detroit Democrats plan to vote Saturday to censure and bar any future endorsements of a Democratic lawmaker who credited President Donald Trump with advocating for the drug that she said cured her of COVID-19.
State Rep. Karen Whitsett, D-Detroit, broke protocol by meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence during an April 14 meeting of COVID-19 survivors, during which she credited hydroxychloroquine for saving her life….
…The meeting and other comments Whitsett made prior to and during the coronavirus pandemic have landed her in hot water with the 13th Congressional District Democratic Party Organization.
The group, as first reported by Gongwer News Service, plans to vote Saturday on a resolution to censure Whitsett, a first-term lawmaker representing the 9th Michigan House District.
The admonition means she will not get the group’s endorsement for this year nor will she be able to engage in the group’s activities for the next two election cycles.
“At the end of the day, we have political systems,” said Jonathan Kinloch, chairman of the organization. “We have political parties, and political parties exist for a reason.”
“They do not belong to themselves,” Kinloch said of endorsed candidates and elected officials. “They belong to the members and precinct delegates of the Democratic Party.”

The big takeaway from this for me is the dems are openly admitting they believe in Party before Country every time without exception.
Nothing could be more vile or disgusting.
Democrats can no longer be considered American on any level other than a technicality.
Seriously....Candace Owens needs to contact that brave girl!
Canpain surogate.
The Demon Dems would RATHER she had DIED than give Trump a THANK YOU!!
The last thing the Democrats want is to save lives. All this talk about “If the lockdowns save one life, it’s worth it” is total garbage.
The lockdowns are all about crushing the economy and getting Trump defeated in November.
That is a response devoid of any acknowledgement and understanding of our Creator. I don’t see how any Christian could even think about voting for any Democrat these days. Their behavior, values and way of thinking is alien to what we Christians believe.
She needs to remember to NEVER.LEAVE.THE.PLANTATION>
This is the Dem party people..they don’t even care about their own..their own “Woman of color” they would have rather her have DIED than recovered using this drug combo, that is how sick the Dem communist party has become
What part of Orangemanbad do you not understand?
Exactly! That's what we've been saying for years. To demonicRATS, they're not even 3/5ths of a person.
“They belong to the members and precinct delegates of the Democratic Party.”
Sounds like they think they own her!
Like she is a slave of the Democratic party.
I truely believe that is what they think about her.
They would rather her to have kept her mouth shut and just died instead of requesting a drug from her doctor that Trump had touted. Disgusting....
I’ll repeat myself....the Dems would have rather that she DIED than thank Trump!!
I guess democrats are saying that, black people still have to do what their democrat masters tell them to do, or they will be punished.
Michigan. Can you believe the United Auto Workers, after Donald Trump brought Auto Making back to Michigan, they want to reward the President by endorsing Biden. What gives. What am I missing.
Well, it is their plantation. Did they proudly announce how many lashes she will receive?
Wonder if she’s heard of BLEXIT?
Wonder if she’d like to become another of today’s examples of strong, intelligent, independent black women? (Can’t be a D’rat and do that, of course.)
She should get to know Candace Owens.
