COVID-19 survivor Rep. Karen Whitsett, saved by Hydroxychloroquine, decries Michigan's censure attempt: 'I'm not going to be silenced'

As long as there are residents in the state of Michigan who need help and who need a voice, Democratic Congresswoman Karen Whitsett promised Saturday that she will not be silenced.

In an interview on "Fox & Friends Weekend" with host Pete Hegseth, Whitsett explained that she would also continue to work with President Trump and any president who extended a hand her way to ensure what's done in her state needs to be done.

On Saturday, a group called the 13th Congressional District Democratic Party Organization will consider censuring Whitsett for foregoing the status quo and meeting with President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence to discuss her experience recovering from coronavirus, The Detroit News reported.

The admonition means she will not get the group’s endorsement for this year nor will she be able to engage in the group’s activities for the next two election cycles.

“At the end of the day, we have political systems,” said Jonathan Kinloch, chairman of the organization. “We have political parties, and political parties exist for a reason."

"There is so much more to this story and it's shameful, actually, of the Democratic Party," Whitsett stated. 13 congressional leaders -- Jonathan Kinloch who also works for Governor Gretchen Whitmer...and I believe this is the governor -- [have] decided that [they are] going to slap me on the wrist by silencing me. And, it's a shame that she's doing this. It's politics at its [worst]."

"In a time like this during a pandemic when she should be focusing on the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan, this is what she's focusing on: trying to silence me," Whitsett added. "I guess this is teaching me to be in my place and that's not going to stop me."

During a televised April 14 meeting, Whitsett credited anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine for saving her life.

Hydroxychloroquine is a treatment President Trump has frequently supported during White House news briefings.

She declares she was, is, and always will be a democrat. Obama and Hillary voter and for Biden in November. Therein lies the problem...even if it hits them between the eyes they don’t get it.

She has courage, but zero wisdom.

More evidence, as if any were needed, that the Democrat Party is anti-American.

Tell me how hydroxychloquine and zinc as a cure are not being used politically? Instead of being thankful that something works, they now treat you as an outcast because a drug cocktsil Trump suggested cures you. Now I know why there are so many Blue State deaths. Its all being done on purpose!

All politics, all the time, no letup. Never let a crisis go to waste.

The states with all the “sanctuary cities” are the ones with the biggest problem, and everyone else is supposed to pay for it.

Gretchen, you big dummy.

You stand a chance against a righteously angry black woman who is not going to back down.

Enjoy.

The democrats would rather have people die than give DGT credit for anything! Their hatred for him is so intense, that they are willing to sacrifice as many lives as possible.

Most of us knew what you meant, typos/omissions happen and you can’t edit. I’ve seen much worse. I’ve committed much worse.

I thought I had inadvertantly clicked on a CNN or MSNBC article link when I read this in the Fox article. I guess Fox does have to get their "shots" in against Trump lest they lose favor with those who otherwise abhor Fox News.

Hydroxychloroquine is a treatment President Trump has frequently supported during White House news briefings.

A recent clinical trial in Brazil testing a high dose of chloroquine to treat hospitalized COVID-19 patients was halted after a spike in deaths among patients who received the drug.

According to The Associated Press, the drug also showed no benefit in a large analysis of its use in U.S. veterans hospitals. There were more deaths among those given hydroxychloroquine versus standard care, researchers reported.

On Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) advised that the drugs should be used only in clinical trials or at a hospital because of safety risks to patients and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has advised caution in prescribing them.

“We have political parties, and political parties exist for a reason."

One of them needs as many casualties as possible.

Or maybe it’s because of Rupert’s a-hole sons and their a-hole wives.

Maybe she plans to stay with the Democrats to be a thorn in their side. Karen, vote for Trump and endorse Trump anyway. In 2004, many Democrats refused to support John Kerry, and supported GWB (Yeah, I know how W turned out, but how much worse would it have been with Kerry?).

Karen should post all the nasty text messages she’s getting fro the democratic party on her site to show the world what a bunch of losers many on the left really are-

Karen- do yourself a huge favor and step over into the light of the GOP party- Just watch out though, our party does have a few snakes in it too- just avoid them and you’ll be golden—
