On Friday afternoon, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) sat at a table draped in black. With a sign language interpreter behind her, she delivered a sober update on the coronavirus outbreak in her state, urging residents to stay off the roads and away from gas pumps....
“Non-essential in Michigan: Lawn care, construction, fishing if boating with a motor, realtors, buying seeds, home improvement equipment and gardening supplies,” he wrote on Twitter. “Essential in Michigan: Marijuana, lottery and alcohol. Let’s be safe and reasonable. Right now, we’re not!”....
“All the sudden it went from kumbaya to, ‘It’s tyrannical,’ ” he said. “I don’t think it’s coincidence the president has called her out on twitter and Democratic nominee has mentioned her as a vice-presidential candidate.”

On = one.
That's all the Democrat Party needs!
WaPost is the press poodle for the DNC.
But, he loved his mother!
A standard narrative written every 4 to 8 years...
By the Kremlin.
“it appears she is rising.”
Must be some bad yeast in there somewhere.
She was sued for violating several of the Bill of Rights, and then backed off somewhat, as I understand it.
Dems can’t be happy with her ban on travel to a 2nd home in the country unless you live in or are coming from another state, or visiting neighbors ? WTF.
Several sheriffs told her to stuff it. No can do...will not enforce...will not violate the oath to uphold the law. Her policies are not law, btw, just dictates. Typical D.
Great Trump campaign fodder. Here’s what’s in store if you elect Ds.
She is being considered as the designated loser
Herr Gretchen Esther Whitmer is the face of evil in the Demonrat party.
Oh great. Another wannabe Queen of the USA.
Yes! He even attended a seminary!
I think the main point of this story is to set the narrative that she’s capable of being the next dem nominee.
I don’t think “rising star” describes her...”Glowing-floater-who-won’t-flush” is more descriptive. What a fascistic tyrant. I believe her thought processes and her shriveled brain’s logic center are both severely damaged.
“Dems can’t be happy with her ban on travel to a 2nd home in the country unless you live in or are coming from another state, or visiting neighbors ? WTF.”
There are a great many cabins/cottages in Michigan north of Flint. And a great many are owned by members of UAW and NEA unions, = D’rat.
And they can’t use their motorized fishing boats, either. That hit a lot of retired UAW and NEA folks, too.
After Julius Caesar, the Roman tyrants all called themselves, “Caesar.” This woman may cause tyrants of the future to be called “The Karen.”
I live in Michigan. I’ll believe she’s “caved” when the 14-hour stores return to 24 hours and don’t count people as they come in, and aren’t fencing off aisles because the State says (under whatever pretext) that furniture and plant seeds spread the Chinese Wuhan Virus.
I live on a canal on Lake St Clair, a lot of my neighbors have the boat parked in the water, but it’s forbidden to use them because of social distancing at the boat ramps they don’t use.
2 Weeks ago the lake was full of boats on the sunny day. Since we’re stuck at home let’s fish as there is natural social distancing on the water. Too cold for party boating.
I’m from Michigan and I hear nothing but contempt for her. Even before the virus lockdown she was unliked. She ran on “fixing the damn roads,” which she didn’t do.
Also, when visiting healthy friends and relatives in the same city no longer puts one in danger of a four-figure fine.
Yeah, as long as I’m shopping for “essentials*” I can go out amongst a lot of strangers of uncertain health status**, but I can’t go visit friends or babysit for them so THEY can do their shopping.
*including, as has been mentioned, alcohol and lottery tix, i.e. State Revenue Devices
**People in masks and rubber gloves scream “unclean! unclean!” to me.
