Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has stirred controversy within the Democratic Party after appearing with President Donald Trump at an event in her state on Tuesday and at the White House earlier this month.
"Her going to the White House… on the heels of an election where she was heavily involved campaigning for the Democratic nominee [against Trump], I think, says a lot about her understanding about her role is to be the governor of all, not just her party," Democratic county executive in Macomb County Mark Hackel told The Washington Post about Whitmer's April 9 visit to the Oval Office.
During the event, Trump signed executive orders and answered questions from the press, praising Whitmer for her "excellent job" as governor and calling her a "very good person," a notable departure from his usual criticism of the Democrat.
Some Democrats, however, were highly critical of Whitmer's appearances alongside Trump.
"I think the fight-back faction of the Democratic Party is ascendant, and leaders who ignore that risk getting left behind," Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible, told the Post.
Trump praised Whitmer during the Tuesday event in Michigan, where he unveiled plans to swap out the retiring A-10 Warthog aircraft based out of Selfridge Air National Guard Base just outside Detroit with 21 brand-new F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets.
**SNIP**
On April 10, the day after Whitmer's Oval Office meeting with Trump, Democratic Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel called Trump a "fascist" in a post on social media.
"Why I refuse to normalize this president: Appeasement is not workable strategy with a fascist," Nessel wrote in a post on X.

Hahaha. There is NO tolerance for heretics of the democrat party cult.
Rats have no choice but to restructure. If there was a political chapter 11 “bankruptcy” plan of reorganization, thats exactly what they need to emulate. This man Donald Trump has out smarted, out maneuvered, out performed them on every level at every critical moment for almost a decade and they at some point will be forced to admit defeat/failure as a political party. The question is not if, but when it will happen. Just my $.02
Newsom/Whitmer 2028?
Trump is so delightfully smart! Wicked sense of humor!
Rats have a strategy?
Well, if history is a guide, nullifucation of federal law resulted in civil war.
Let these Utopian fascist call Trump a facists all they want. It is not at all accurate. It is they who are the
fascists.
Let these Utopian fascists go for their guns and we will see how long nullification as a strategy lasts .
This is similar to Chris Christie and Obama after that storm hit the east coast.
Maybe Newscum, but not WHitler. After the Kamala mess I doubt even the rats will stick a dumbass women out there, beside low IQ ones is all they have as that’s why they are dems. When you hear how shaky her voice was when Trump called her up one can see she’s too nervous on the national stage.
Now if only our country club big government Bush Republicans would get on board.
Whitmer did not save Selfridge ANGB, SecDef Hegseth did.
Well, President Trumps should invite every Democrat Governor to come on up and say a few words! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Then at campaign time Trump can run ads stating the those Governors are favorable to him……. THE KISS OF DEATH!
That’ll work, especially in the runup to the mid-terms.
Gretchen Whitmer has an autoworker and blue collar worker problem. The autoworkers know who is protecting their livelihood and they are very pro-Trump.
Michigan and the entire Midwest, victims of the leftist coastal communists destroying and outsourcing their industries, will be solid red soon.
