State Rep. Karen Whitsett has repeatedly expressed gratitude toward President Trump
Michigan Democratic state Rep. Karen Whitsett, publicly expressed her gratitude toward President Trump for her coronavirus recovery, and now she is facing possible censure from her fellow Democrats.
Whitsett has indicated that the president may have helped save her life by publicly discussing the drug hydroxychloroquine, which she says helped her to recover. The Detroit Free Press reported that when questioned about "whether she thinks Trump may have saved her life, Whitsett said: 'Yes, I do,' and 'I do thank him for that.'"
Whitsett earlier this month met with the president at a meeting of coronavirus survivors and expressed her gratitude.

"Im a Democrat, and I plan on continuing to be a Democrat, but they will change their ways," Whitsett said according to the outlet. "I have my First Amendment right, and no one will take that away from me."
The Detroit News reports that one of the items mentioned in the resolution to censure Whitsett says she "'has repeatedly and publicly praised the president's delayed and misguided COVID-19 response efforts in contradiction with the scientifically based and action-oriented response' from Michigan's Democratic leadership, 'endangering the health, safety and welfare of her constituents, the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan.'"
He may regret saying he is going to continue being a democrat. They will primary him out of office
Who msaid “Dem DemonRats don’t stick together”......
With Democrat Whitsett thanking Trump and the democrat gov pissing off all Michiganders...Trump has the stare wrapped up in Nov
He is actually a she. Although, these days, one never knows.
While Romney votes to impeach Trump and the Republicans don’t do crap about it
who is causing the division???
the damocrats!
Oh my, the absolute hatred. They want to kill us. This is truly becoming a dangerous paradigm.
Die Partei uber alles .
She is a nice lady.
I really think the GOP should try, very very hard, to recruit her.
Really.
Is anyone surprised?
Gotta admit that they they’re not shy about using an iron hand to keep their people in line.
I actually commend the rats for this. Has the gop censured anybody when it was obvious to do so? Romney? Hell no!
Same tactic they used on the south jersey congressman before he switched parties: deny support. Until we learn that the dem party is a unilithic enemy we will continue to be screwed over by them and their fellow travelers the RINOs. After the Dixiecrats moved to the GOP in the 60s that party moved to the left under the banner of anti war. The result was the birth of a political cadre some of whom unfortunately are still alive and in power. Between them and their cohorts in the news they ran ruffshod
Over Nixon and never looked back till Gingrich wrested back the house. Proving you cannot get along with a snake they boded their time as cohorts for the country till bush gave them the opening. Rest is history
Something similar happened to a Black fellow down south that came right out and referred to the rat party as a plantation.
It’s a good sign people are waking up. It takes a lot of guts for a Democrat politician to be openly critical of the rat party. Betcha for every one with the fortitude to speak their mind there are hundreds thinking the same and will vote Trump.
This is the woman in Michigan who took HCQ on Trump’s advice and recovered. You are thinking of the guy in Georgia who endorsed him.
He has changed his mind and is not resigning from the GA Legislature. And yes, I am sure the Dems will primary him.
The Democrats are paraphrasing Mussolini: Everything within the party, nothing outside the party, nothing against the party.
The problem is, even after being censured, they continue to remain democrats.
