An Indiana billboard poking fun at Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Michigan's response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been adjusted after protests from the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
The digital billboard along Interstate 69 just a few miles south of the Michigan border, in Angola, Ind., showed a picture of Whitmer alongside a graphic that announced her as "Indiana Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year," suggesting the Democratic governor pushed business south with her restrictive pandemic response.
Steve Swick, president and CEO of Swick Broadcasting Co., changed the wording to "Indiana Business Person of the Year" after receiving a cease and desist request from the Indiana chamber.

Michigan, a great and beautiful state known for stolen elections, 40 feet of snow, beautiful summers, walleye fish, and delicious craft beer, has been struggling under the yoke of Totalitarian Leftism that has closed the state. Swick's purpose is to not only to highlight the imbecility of Witmer, but to further emphasize that the rest of Michigan will start to look like the third-world war zone, once great city, Detroit, if Witmer's liberal policies continue.
As a further warning to all Americans, if you love Democrat Marxist Totalitarianism so much, may be you should move to a country to try it out for a little bit, just to see how great it is.
Liberals everywhere are crying foul, asking that all free speech rights be removed, including on one's own property.
Article originally appeared in the Detroit News and the Indy Star, but those anti-Capitalists Marxists aren't willing to share for free their private intellectual property.
The message still works even with the wording changes.
The COVID policies from that woman in Michigan are costing the state jobs, money and open schools, Oh, and individual rights.
Go Blue!
Ha ha! F Whitmer!
Ahh, the RINO run CofC....predictable.
The food is great and open dining at the Middlebury Cafe and Essenhaus in Shipshawanna. Says a Michigan traveling diner. Watch out for the buggies.
“Stolen election shoulda told ya”
