Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was mocked after she was captured hiding her face behind a stack of binders to avoid being seen standing in the Oval Office when President Donald Trump spoke to the press.
The 53-year-old Democrat was flanked by two White House aides as she shielded her identity behind a set of blue folders she was holding before her scheduled meeting with Trump on April 9, according to a photo taken by the New York Times.
Whitmer was in Washington DC to discuss issues including tariffs and a recent ice storm which Whitmer has since asked for a Presidential Emergency Declaration.
The Wolverine State leader’s team claims Whitmer was surprised when she was brought into the Oval Office in front of the cameras as Trump signed several executive orders and proclamations.
Critics viewed the viral photo as Whitmer’s attempt to not be associated with the 78-year-old commander in chief after she traveled to the White House with a bipartisan delegation to address several issues affecting her state.
“Gretchen Whitmer hiding behind her files in the White House is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. This is what my 2-year-old does,” one X user commented.
“Whitmer covering her face is the perfect metaphor for the Democratic Party,” another said.
“President Trump broke Governor Whitmer,” read a third comment.
Others took a look at Whitmer’s past actions on camera and questioned her motives while at the White House.

It says ‘shame’ and ‘fear’...no other reason to cover your face
Whitmer's Dead Zone moment. In the Dead Zone movie an evil candidate for President ruins his own campaign by grabbing a baby as a human shield during an assassination attempt.
And I said things like...
She is not stupid...
She can tell which way the wind is blowing...
She is setting herself up for her next venture...
Boy, did I get fooled!!!!
She is just a hitler wannabe without the brains the Good Lord gave to the rest of us
Her shame is showing
He’s doing more for her state than she is.
There is something off and an evil presence just exudes off that women. It’s sad so many others don’t get it.
Thanks for that. Never heard of her before to be honest.
Oh ok, I saw that last week where she called out Tapper as a leftist. I wouldn’t have recognized her as being the same woman in the oval office. When thinking about it I was thinking it might possibly be Katie Britt as her face sort of resembled hers and she is in Trump’s cabinet.
I thought she either dressed up as a witch once or was at some ceremony where there were witches...
Nice suit.
Eye candy.

Did that happen really in the movie? I don’t remember that since it’s been so long ago.

I don’t think it worked...
Now everyone knows she was at Trump’s Oval Office and the picture will be posted everywhere and talked about.
It’s not just her. It’s MI SoS Benson and MI AG Nessel too. All three of them...and (D)ebbie (D)ingell and Gary Peters (D)...
TRUE. Thanks for the additions.
That’s too good for her. There’s something satanic there.
I wonder if Gavin Newsom paid someone to advise her to do that - it couldn't have worked out better for him. :)
