Gretchen Whitmer admits it: No release from lockdown without a vote for Joe Biden
American Thinker ^ | 21 Oct, 2020 | Monica Showalter

The secret slips out: She was holding them hostage all along, hoping to beat them into submission and vote for Joe Biden.

For the past 200 days, Democratic governors have been commanding their states to go on lockdown, and ordering nursing homes to be seeded with COVID patients.

The result has been the twin disaster of broken economies and high COVID death tolls, way out of proportion to the rest of the country. And incredibly, they're blaming President Trump for all of the bad consequences of their own acts, and reaping big political hay from it.

They do all the harm, Trump gets all the blame, they take all the glory.

What power-mad leftist wouldn't want a heads-I-win, tails-you-lose setup like that? Torture your state, blame Trump, win big.

So it's natural to expect that the worst of them might just keep holding their states on lockdown as a hostage act, at least until election day, to beat their citizens into submission. After that, the mask can come off.

Far-left Democrat Gretchen Whitmer, though, didn't want to wait.

According to Red State:

Whitmer told host Chuck Todd that lockdowns and COVID restrictions can end, if Americans just vote for Joe Biden. The governor, who has become one of the faces of hypocritical lockdowns for the Left over the last few months, insinuated that Trump doesn’t care that 220,000 people have died so far from COVID, and that 8 million positive COVID tests have been logged so far.

Why is no one talking about the fact that common cold infections are down a whopping 95 percent?!! Why? Because the reporting is a lie. Hospitals got big money for reporting every case as covid so they lied where they could get away with it.

Not really gonna change your mind, but hospitals do NOT get money for every case of Covid. Some hospitals were reimbursed for COVID patients that required intensive care treatment and vents. That was a small percentage of patients.

And, hospitals shut down elective surgeries for almost five months. The pittance provided for the very sick, ICU cases of covid do not come close to covering the costs of running a hospital.

You will see a number of small, private, not for profit hospitals closing their doors or selling out over the next year because of the losses incurred during the lockdowns.

On Nov. 4 Trump needs to fire Fauci and Birx and declare “Operation Return to Normal”. If necessary fire Barr too and get an AG who will aggressively pursue Constitutional rights cases.

To: Democrats hate too much

if Joe wins the lockdown stays forever or until the deep state has control of the government.

Doesn't the name "deep state" imply that they already have control of the government?

My state has had single digit COVID deaths since September but instituted widespread school lockdowns until ... wait for it ... wait for it ... the Monday after election day.

Note that they originally said the DAY after election day, then realized that was too obvious so they changed it to the monday after.

Try telling me that's not political.

As I thought. The left orchestrated the crises of 2020, china bug and riots, so as to turn them into a major crisis for Trump.

Thanks for the reply. Are you saying that influenza cases are way down because elective procedures were halted?
