Despite her vocal opposition to building border walls to keep Americans safe from illegal immigration, Democrat Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is having an eight-foot high, electrified fence built around her official residence to keep out unwanted visitors.

The fence is just one part of a $1.1 million, taxpayer-funded security upgrade to the governor’s residence, The Detroit Free Press reports:

In recent weeks, crews have been working to build what appears to be an eight-foot-tall fence around the governor's residence property. Last week, a sign on the site where crews were on the job warned, "Danger. High voltage. Unauthorized persons keep out."

So, just wondering....if I cut the power going into the residence....the fence is basically worthless, right?

What if something were thrown on top of the fence causing the electricity to surge. How long would that last? What if this were done continuously? Any chance it would just catch on fire and burn it down?

Same applies to the governor.

Is it powered by wind turbines? Or solar?

If not, tear it down (on a still dark night).

Governor Whitmer is no different than Obama, the Pope, and many other “no borders, no walls, no USA at all” leftists: walls and armed guards for me, none for thee.

In the end, I don’t think her electrified fence is going to keep the angry mobs out.

For those of you wondering how liberals can justify this, they have no problem at all. The progressive female governor needs protection from the racist, sexist, rioting, Right-wing, racist, Far Right, Toxic Male, racist, KKK, Nazi, White Supreemist, racist, fascist, racist, Trump supporters, who are responsible for all of this violence, and who are also racist.

$h!tlibs don’t care about hypocrisy. That requires an element of shame. People in the middle do care about it.

The return to feudalism marches on.
All the big city mayors build castles to keep the rabble out. Law enforcement is for ruling class barons - outside the walls you’re on your own.
Lightfoot has an advantage - she actually has drawbridges

Absolutely. It’s like that with everything, the masks, the closed restaurants, gyms and salons, the fact that governors and mayors can wall off their own properties and blockade the streets with the police that they want to “defund”...

After all, some animals are a lot more equal than others.

Scared of rioting Trump supporters?

If she has an electrified fence, shouldn’t everyone?
