Whitmer backtracks after COVID-19 contract awarded to Dem consultant who said Trump should 'get coronavirus ASAP'
Fox News ^ | 4/21/20 | Gregg Re

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's administration acknowledged Tuesday that normal protocols were bypassed when a no-bid contract for coronavirus contact tracing was awarded by the state to Great Lakes Community Engagement, which is operated well-known Democratic consultant Michael Kolehouse -- who has previously written that President Trump should "get Coronavirus ASAP" and that someone should "do the country a favor and cough on that man," Facebook posts reviewed by Fox News show.

The Washington Free Beacon reported earlier Tuesday that Michigan gave a separate contract to track the spread of coronavirus to Every Action VAN, a division of the Democratic data operation NGP VAN. The contract for Great Lakes Community Engagement, which would total $200,000 over eight weeks, was to be executed in coordination with EveryAction, which is tightly linked to NGP Van's operation.

“Nearly every major Democratic campaign in America is powered by NGP VAN's software, including the Obama campaign’s voter contact, volunteer, fundraising and compliance operations in all 50 states," NGP VAN boasts on its website. The Washington Post has described NGP VAN as "the voter file provider for Democratic campaigns and independent groups up and down ballot."

NGP VAN has previously exposed secretive and proprietary information due to technical glitches, The Washington Post has reported, including when a software patch was improperly applied.

And yet President Trump was impeached because he didn’t give away our money to corrupt foreigners fast enough.

The left have peed themselves with joy over the taste of Authoritarian Power they got with this Corona thing.

Whitmer has calculated that there is no political price for her to pay.

We shall see, but I think she will turn out to be very mistaken....

Democratic consultant Michael Kolehouse should be arrested for threatening President Trump. And possibly Whitmer as a co-conspirator. Cancel the bid contract. Heck, deny any federal funding to Michigan until they clean out nasty democrats.

The worst part is this kind of partisan spending by the state will be covered by the next round of bailouts for the state. If Trump isn’t careful he will be sending billions of dollars to state governments that will distribute the money to community organizers, communications firms (lobbyists), unions, etc.

*************

The 2018 MI gubernatorial election also had a ballot issue to legalize marijuana. That brought out a big turnout of a demographic that was very favorable to her than her Republican opponent, Bill Schuette, who had served as the MI AG for the previous 8 yrs.

I found out how to recall the Governatrix...and that research explains part of her reason to keep us locked down. Under the current Corona jazz, we can’t go house to house collecting signatures. That is the only reason a recall effort can’t be started now.

Wonder how long she’ll try to keep us locked up?
