Michigan Democrats reportedly plan to censure a state lawmaker who met with President Trump and expressed support and thanks to him and his administration for their endorsement of hydroxychloroquine as a coronavirus treatment.
State Rep. Karen Whitsett faces a censure vote Saturday from party leaders who insist that she reports to them, according to a report Thursday in The Detroit News.
“At the end of the day, we have political systems, we have political parties and political parties exist for a reason,” Jonathan Kinloch, the chairman of the Democratic Party Organization in Michigan’s 13th U.S. Congressional District told the newspaper.
“They do not belong to themselves. They belong to the members and precinct delegates of the Democratic Party,” Mr. Kinloch said.
Such proprietary claims on an elected politician drew the scorn of Donald Trump Jr.
“What a joke,” the president’s son tweeted Thursday. “Remember folks, the narrative can only be used against Trump and if you break those rules the left will turn on their own.”
Ms. Whitsett met with the president and Vice President Mike Pence on April 14, after she had credited hydroxychloroquine with saving her life following her infection with the coronavirus.
“Thank you for everything that you have done,” Ms. Whitsett said at her Washington meeting. “I did not know that saying ‘thank you’ had a political line. I’m telling my story and my truth, and this is how I feel and these are my words.”

How very......Soviet....of them.

Looks like the Democrat party is letting their racism show again. How dare these people of color think for themselves!
In case you missed it. (in particular note V, VI, and VII)
The Eight Commandments of the Liberal Left.
I Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking
II Thou shall not allow any member to question the group’s inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions
III Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions
IV Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose
V Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments
VI Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgement conforming to the majority view
VII Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the group’s stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members
VIII Thou shalt appoint mind guards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions.

This is the commandment we need to follow and it’s easy!
That which is not Constitutional, must be sterilized!
A Republican is born?
““They do not belong to themselves. They belong to the members and precinct delegates of the Democratic Party,” Mr. Kinloch said.”
If ever there was a sentence that proved the Democrat Party remains the party that enslaved the Black population in America, this is it.
I hope Black America dumps the Democrats flat on their “People don’t know what’s good for them” asses.
This news kind of falls under the ‘Better be judged by 12 than carried by 6’ scenario.
This is a big shout out from the left, the DEMOCRATS....
Hey Black Guy, we own you so you better get your black ass back on the democrat plantation...
WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HAVING AN OPINION OF YOUR OWN?????
/sarc
There is not a single, lonely chance in the nine circles of hell that Whitmer is more popular than Trump in Michigan. Once again misled by lazy pollsters who failed to include anybody outside the 313 area code.

That way, Gestapo Barbie could have proved OrangeManBad wrong.

During the lead up to the Civil War the slave owners didn’t like loosing their slaves. Those democrats fought hard to keep them, same as they do today.

And for thanking him for letting her know about the drug that saved her life, Hydroxychloroquine.
