When historians look back at America's handling of the coronavirus outbreak, they likely will cite Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as the best example of how not to contain a pandemic in your state.
The Democratic governor has turned her state into the heart of COVID-19 resistance. On Wednesday, protesters shut down the roads in Lansing, the state's capital, in a protest dubbed "Operation Gridlock."
Whitmer responded to the outrage of her constituents thusly: "I know that people are angry and that's OK, and if you want to take it out and send it my way, if it makes you feel better, that's fine. I support your right to free speech, and I respect your opinions. I just urge you, don't put yourself at risk and don't put others at risk either. I was really disappointed to see people congregating, not wearing masks. I saw someone handing out candy to little kids bare-handed."
She did everything but brand her critics "barbarians at the gate" -- unwashed hordes who stand against the good people who stay home and don't make waves -- when her provocative attitude and policies truly were a problem.

Except for golfers, #HeilHalfWit..?
Gov. Shiny Face Nit Wit is an AWFUL person who wants to CONTROL your every move!
Hey Michigan, you elected a socialist authoritarian and that’s what you have.
Sadly, I suspect the urban parts of MI are quite happy with what they have.
The fall of a nation.
She must be #1 on Sleepy Creepy Joementia’s Vagina Politician (VP) list.
...she'll be king!
Political Power often becomes an ego trip, blinding people from reality.
Slick wisecrack.
I just may steal it...
“...”I saw someone handing out candy to little kids bare-handed.”...”
Guess she doesn’t know that wearing gloves are to protect yourself - not what you’re handling.
She’s probably knows about as much as a TSA screener wearing the same pair of gloves to feel up a couple of dozen folks.
Will the exercise of totalitarian powers be relinquished at the end of this crisis? Do governments ever relinquish power? Ever?
She is the Spawn of Hillary.
What a Biach!
When the official news hits the streets (and it will) that the Chinese and Democrats colluded together to try to bring down the govt and our country it will be Donald J Trump, president for life! Gretchen,Joe and many others will be gone for good.
Nothing is more dangerous than a Democrat liberal doing what their indoctrination tells them is best for you. They will not be deterred with any logic, set of facts, constitutional limits on their reach, or fiscal limit. They know better. IYI’s.
somebody ought to break her commodes in her mansion. Then when she calls the royal plumber, said plumber is under “lockdown” and won’t be able to make it until at least the end of May.
Too bad they didn’t elect Gretchen Wilson for governor.
Gretchen Dearest is top of the list for Joe Biden’s VP pick, if Michelle (Michael?) Obama is not interested. And should Joe, by whatever means necessary, actually WIN the electoral college vote, almost automatically, within 60 days of inauguration, the VP pick is President.
If that does not get you out and campaigning strenuously for the re-election of Donald Trump to the Presidency of the United States, then nothing, NOTHING, can stir your soul.
If they were really barbarians at the gate, Witless would now be hanging on display as a message to other would be dictators.
