Michigan Democrat faces censure vote over support for Trump, Hydroxychloroquine, A Medicine She Says Saved Her Life
Washington Times ^ | 04/23/2020 | James Varney

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.”

Wow! Slavery is alive and well on the Democrat Plantation.

Gee, and I was taught in grad school that representatives were beholden to their constituents. Who knew they were beholden to party leaders? Well we do know that now.

There are 2 LOL. Democrats are so dam mentally blind they do not realize they are chasing people away from the party, which is fine with me. Finally people are seeing the Democrats for what they are.

Well, it is their plantation. Did they proudly announce how many lashes she will receive?

...At the end of the day, we have political systems, we have political parties and political parties exist for a reason...

And the reasons for the democrat party are absolute control & mindless, all consuming hatred.

Actually they are beholden to the constitution, they are responsible for their constituents. If they were beholden to their constituents that is basically mob rule.

So, my FReeper FRiends, how much more evidence do we need to prove beyond the shadow of ANY doubt that Democrats are bad, stupid, detestable and annoying persons?

In addition, they are LIEberal, noxious and venomous!

Despite all the pronouncements, protestations to the contrary and outright denials, the Democrat/Left, being in the late stages of the mentally-incapacitating disease of TDS, has truly "politicized" (how I detest adding "-ize" to most anything, though it is convenient to do so) the Chinese Virus.

Many people on the Democrat/Left are truly vile individuals as evidenced by their actions as much as by their words. Absolutely disgusting.

Good point given that so many don’t know the Constitution.
