Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Gov. Ron DeSantis’ governing style was “incredibly destructive.”
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, your gubernatorial colleague, is widely expected to run for president in 2024. Like you, he won re-election last year by double digits in a state that in the past has have been very competitive. He’s increasingly leaning into some hot-button cultural issues, education, racial issues. Do you think that he poses a real threat to Democrats if he ends up being the Republican nominee?”
Whitmer said, “I don’t really know Ron DeSantis, so it’s hard for me to say anything real substantiative, other than I’ll say this – when I took my oath of office, I took an oath to be the governor for all of the people of Michigan. I don’t wage culture wars. I fight culture wars because I’m focused on solving problems. I think it’s incredibly destructive when people just try to pit others against one another, stoke fear. I think that’s a really destructive way to lead. And so that, you know, we’ll watch and see what happens. As I said, I don’t know him.”

Create drama and debate so no one is paying attention to Trump DeSantis gets the benefit of being a “victim” of a Democrat political attack.
Drawing attention away from President Trump.
Drama like this does that and both Whitmer and DeSantis want Trump to be taken out in the end IMHO.
She won’t see her own sins
Who told her to say that?
These entitled, rebellious females have no clue what the hell they’re talking about.
Gretchen is a fine example of why people didn’t want to ever give women the vote. Ditz ditz ditz.
It’ GREAT! to cordon off the seed supplies in stores, because COVID!
She’s a fascist Witch.
Planned hit piece, set up question by CNN for a prepared democrat response. Obviously they are worried about DeSantis.
DeSantis has embarrassed blue state governors by doing such a good job. Whitless imposed the failed draconian covid lock down policies and severely damaged the people of Mi. It’s sad that Mi elections are rigged.
Yah.
Fears should be stoked when zombies are breaking into houses. There are legit reasons to defend/attack.
P** off, twit.
There must be culture wars. Why should people accept lax, sloven, unwholesome behavior as an equal culture? Are people forbidden from establishing standards of decency? I don’t think so.
How many seniors did you kill today, Gretchen?
But, of course, not when Democrats do it.
Roger that.
There’s. 1000% chance that this ignorant tool DID NOT stick her tongue out while putting pen to paper and craft that article.
It was produced by the “Demo-Hack, inc” bullpen for immediately repeating and ample talking point memos for the MSM Pravda.
That ignorant tramp couldn’t fill the inside of a birthday card with a coherent sentence..
RLTW
Like teaching students that America is rigged against them by systemic racism and "white privilege"? That kind of fear?
desantis’s evil “deep state globalist” governing style is destructive to wokeness and the looney leftists indoctrination and grooming of children...
How are the families who lost ones after you ordered sick people to be sent into nursing homes, knowing full well that the elderly would die as a result, doing gretchen?
Michigan lost both the GOP state legislature and the GOP state senate for the first time in many decades last fall, and the blue executive positions like WHitler all retained elected positions when the “red wave” completely failed.
Just 4 years ago every elected executive position statewide was red, big majority in congress etc. We were two senators away from being the reddest state in the union.
I used to post the all the time here:

“For those that have never been to Michigan often don’t have an idea how big it really is. Add in the Great Lakes and it’s like another country.
Detroit is just one city that gets all the bad publicity, more than often it is deserved - however in the meantime look at the political bigger picture of the state:
MI has a republican President of the United States.
MI has a republican, conservative Supreme Court.
MI has a republican Governor.
MI has a republican Lieutenant Governor.
MI has a republican State Senate.
MI has a republican House of Representatives.
MI has a republican Attorney General.
MI has a republican Secretary of State.
MI has a republican congressional margin by a 2:1 ratio.
There is NO state democrat that is elected statewide. NONE.
No blue wall here even tough the MSM would leave a low information voter to believe otherwise.”
+++
And in 2023 MI isn’t even a purple state now, it is blue state.
Why did this happen? IMO the GOPe sucked so bad in recent years that republicans/conservatives didn’t show up at the polls, the days of voting for the lesser of evils (GOPe) is over.
I don’t know him so let me smear him
You got that right....
The bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’Ts that ran this state for decades were simply put... awful.
and the newly elected democommies are trying their best to undo their wrongs and cement in a permanent majority.
First example, they are now eliminating the tax INCREASE that the republiCANT’s passed that was put on...
Ready for this...
Retirees and socialist security payments.
Thats right.
They went after gramps, and got him.
