Whitmer Falsely Claims She Never Sent COVID Patients to Nursing Homes

Gretchen Whitmer, the Democrat governor of Michigan, has attempted to whitewash her policy that put Covid-19 patients in nursing homes. Whitmer was one of several Democrat governors who implemented this plan, as did Pennsylvania’s Tom Wolf and New York’s disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo. The plan led to higher death rates in states that followed this policy, while Whitmer’s Administration has specifically been accused of covering up deaths.

When asked if she regretted her decision regarding nursing home policy, she blamed her Republican opponent Tudor Dixon for spreading lies. “My opponent continues to tell people that nursing homes were forced to take Covid patients. They were not. They never were,” Whitmer told Fox 2 in Detroit.

Contrary to the governor’s statement, it has been well documented that she had much to do with Covid-19 patients in nursing homes. Even PolitiFact, a left-leaning fact checking site, confirmed as such. According to PolitiFact, “Whitmer issued an executive order on April 15 that required nursing homes with available capacity to create a dedicated unit to isolate residents with COVID-19 and accept COVID-19 patients discharged from hospitals.”

PolitiFact’s article also added that certain nursing homes were to be designated as “regional hubs” and made to take in more infected people who were unable to be properly cared for and isolated from others.

Whitmer’s initial executive order came on April 15, 2020. By the time PolitiFact wrote the above article in March 2021, approximately 15,000 people died with Covid in the state of Michigan. Around one-third of those deaths occurred in nursing homes.

Remarkably, Whitmer’s recent interview is not the only time that she has attempted to deny her culpability for the nursing home policy. In June 2020, she cited CDC guidelines as to why her state had enacted this policy.

"Whitmer Falsely Claims She Never Sent COVID Patients to Nursing Homes - she blamed her Republican opponent Tudor Dixon for spreading lies. 'My opponent continues to tell people that nursing homes were forced to take Covid patients. They were not. They never were,'”

The genocide of seniors story is not a Tudor Dixon invention. There were several petitions circulated during the first reign of terror by the governor to be removed for abuse of her office. Some efforts were sabotaged by her toadies.

"Whitmer issued an executive order on April 15 that required nursing homes with available capacity to create a dedicated unit to isolate residents with COVID-19 and accept COVID-19 patients discharged from hospitals.” On tax day in 2020, the verdictive Witch of November came stealin'

She’s either an abject liar, or mentally insane.

Liberal voters are idiotic sheep.

I read Governor Cuomo’s letter to nursing homes. No room to wriggle, he’s guilty.

Besides the content, which was seniorcide, there was the style. It read like computer code. Nursing homes are private entities. They should be treated with respect and not be ordered about.

To those with a socialist perspective, it is like everyone is born into the Army. Everyone takes orders. Some get to issue orders.

Maybe directives like the Governor Cuomo’s exist in these other states.
