Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan Governor, Hydroxychloroquine Crackdown Sparks Backlash
Washington Times via GOPUSA ^ | 3/30/20

Posted on 03/30/2020 4:27:22 PM PDT by Libloather

**SNIP**

The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs issued an order Wednesday warning physicians against writing prescriptions “without a legitimate medical purpose” and instructing pharmacists to evaluate the “legitimacy” of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine prescriptions.

**SNIP**

“[I]f you live in Michigan, and you or a loved one is infected with this potentially lethal disease, you’re out of luck,” said Kathy Hoekstra, who has written for conservative, in a Thursday op-ed for the Detroit News. “Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs literally threatened all doctors and pharmacists in the state who prescribe or dispense hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19.”

**SNIP**

“For Gov. Whitmer to deny Michigan residents access to one of the only treatments that has shown promise in helping patients with coronavirus is unfair,” said Ms. Vaughn. “She’s playing with people’s lives. To treat these patients and their physicians as criminals is unconscionable.”

Can this nitwit governor be bribed?

She graduated from Forest Hills Central High School, just outside Grand Rapids.[6] She received a BA in communications from Michigan State University in 1993 and a JD from Detroit College of Law at Michigan State University in 1998.

Not a doctor.

***************************************
She’s, at best, a HALF nitwit. But I guess describing her as either a nitwit or a halfwit captures her essence.

Libloather :" Not a doctor. "

She may have a law degree,
but obviously never took an ethics course ,
nor does she understand the doctor's Hippocratic oath !

She is a J.D. which means she never passed the bar. So, she is not really a lawyer.

Michigan has constitutional impeachment.
Michigan has majority R legislature (house & senate).
Does not have 2/3 majority in senate to convict
Should try anyway and put Dems on record.

Michigan is a home-rule state.

That means the citizens of Michigan can recall this communist governor via a petition.

To do so would require Michigan so-called conservatives to get off their fat, Mammon-worshipping asses and circulate petitions.

I have doubts that will happen, as I believe most so-called conservatives are fake conservatives and fake Christians.

Nevada Governor did the same thing. Taking a swipe at Trump is more important than saving lives to these two. Never forget that NV and MI voters. Never forget that.

Apparently this is a slightly older article or she wasn’t in on the conference call with Trump today. The FDA went ahead and approved the use of this drug, and it will be distributed to the states now.

Dr.s and Pharmacists were prescribing to themselves and friends whereby those who needed it for other health issues were also being deprived of it as well.

It’s a catch 22 thing so what options are available for a Governor to make.

Be careful of the msm folks. They aren’t honest. One must use logic and good sense to weed out the trash in the news.

My neighbor down the street is absolutely terrified by what the news media is reporting.

The worst that can happen is dying, and honestly folks, dying isn’t the worst thing to experience. Especially if your trust, your love and your treasure is in God. It might sound cleche’ but to those who have it, it’s peace.

If I die...I’m going home and look forward to rejoicing with my loved ones who went before me. I look forward to dancing that intimate wedding dance with my Messiah and hugging those I’ve missed for so long.

So my friends, be at peace and love those who need it while you’re here.

Half-Witmer is a tyrannical dictator who regularly circumvents the constitution. But, hey, the GOPe and its minions whine that she’s so unfair and mean and, dang-it, the poor suckers in Michigan are so hurt by her meanness and unfairness...Waaa!

In the not too distant past creatures like Half-Witmer would be in fear for their lives. But not today. The gutless wonders of the GOPe just stand by and watch these Marxocrat governors run roughshod over their constituents rights without lifting a finger to stop it or mounting a coherent fight against their usurpations.

I swear, the GOPe is institutionally incapable of carrying the cause of freedom any further. There has got to be a way to kill it and start a new Trumpian party to build a truly constitutional future for what’s left of this benighted land.

She has zero understanding about FDA off-label use by physicians and the concept of standard of care that legally allows doctors to treat their patients with the same standard of care in use by professional peers.

Whitmer- an older, uglier, and less intelligent Alyssa Milano.

It won’t happen when they put half whit in they also made a Lesbian activist the AG. The media did a good job of burying that during the campaign but still.

Stupidity is forgivable. It’s the electric blackouts and $500/yr taxes on pickups that will do you in. Don’t waste good energy unless you have a VERY good chance to succeed.

Is saving lives a “legitimate medical purpose”?

What a moron!

Not always, but occasionally the camera captures the face of EVIL. Gretchen Whitmer (Mich gov),
Obama (lots), Bill and Hillary, Strzok, Brennan, Pelosi, Feinstein...the cold psychopath, the zero compassion face. Charlie Manson, Ayatollah Khomeini...

Most other times it just captures unflattering face pictures.

Wretched Whitless is already the most EVIL governor in the history of Michigan.
