Whitmer: Trump's messaging on immigration causes 'greater danger'
AP via Crain's Detroit ^ | 4/21/20 | David Eggert, Sara Burnett

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Tuesday that President Donald Trump's plan to suspend immigration is distracting from efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic and part of "inconsistent messages" that spread fear and put the public in "greater danger."

Trump's pronouncements about freezing immigration are "scary" for immigrants, family members hoping to immigrate to the U.S., farmers who rely on seasonal migrant workers and Canadian nurses who work in Michigan, the Democratic governor said in an interview with The Associated Press.

"These broad statements that come out I think are so problematic and counter to I think what we need right now more than anything - which is fact based scientifically proven, best practices and an optimistic vision of where we are headed and the thrust to make it a reality," said Whitmer, who said the focus should be on making swabs for testing. "This is what we need right now - not additional new things to be upset about, fearful of or mad about."

She said she worries Trump's daily televised briefings only make things worse.

"I think that the nightly briefing has yielded a lot of inconsistent messages to the public - messages that put people in greater danger," she said.

In addition to the usual “Orange Man Bad” blathering that passes currently for Democrat “leadership”, the governor is trying out for the VP slot on the Biden ticket. So you can expect her to be laying it on thick, especially since she is the wrong color for the “Woke” party faithful.

Rule of thumb, when a Demonrat says something is very bad, it’s good. When they say it is very good, it is very bad. When this nutty bitch says it’s dangerous, it’s very, very safe. Very.

Democrats continue to prioritize foreigners above Americans.

No.
She’s saying that if the money stops, she will signal the Canadian Nurses and other immigrants under Democrat control to visit violence upon the residents of Michigan.
Change my mind.

So she cannot multitask. Glad she advised Americans of her inability.

The only reason this governor is getting press is because she’s on Biden’s short list for Veep. If you REALLY listen to her, she is nothing more than a Dem party hack. No new ideas, no moral compass, and talks out of both sides of her mouth.

Pretty much someone Biden would pick as a VP. God help us all.

It’s remarkable that men have allowed themselves to be dumped on by radical woman like this lefty. She should be ignored and the demonstrations should grow and be on par with those of the yellow vests in France.

Basically, she's the Female version of Bill DeBlasio.

Men have tolerated too much in return for a little wet patch of fur. They used to know better:

I wouldn’t change the era I grew up in, nor the dating fun I had, but if suddenly I was thrust into today’s world, as a young man, I’d buy a piece as needed rather than begin a relationship. I find young women today a complete turnoff, and don’t get me started on their decision making. Man, it’s awful.
