The Michigan GOP says it is launching its earliest ads ever against an incumbent governor as it starts running spots targeting Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who is running for reelection in November.
Using clips of Whitmer and news reports, the ad criticizes the governor over COVID-19 nursing home deaths, school shutdowns due to the pandemic, vaccine mandates, her alleged violation of pandemic rules, and the ongoing drinking water contamination crisis in the state. It also blames Whitmer for rising prices in the state and for jobs Michigan lost during her tenure.
In the text that is seen on screen during the 60-second ad, the state Republican Party says, "Michigan can’t afford four more years of deadly incompetence, of serial hypocrisy, of abusing power, of suppressed human rights, of school shutdowns and mass exodus, of record crime, of lost jobs, of flip-flopping, of failure. This November, retire Whitmer."
The Michigan GOP, which shared its ad first with Fox News, says it will spend an initial five figures to run the spot online starting Monday, and it will ramp up to a six-figure digital and TV buy in the coming weeks. The state party launched its ad blitz ahead of Whitmer’s state of the state address, which she is scheduled to deliver Wednesday.
"This is the earliest the Michigan GOP has gone up with an ad against an incumbent – digital or broadcast," Michigan GOP communications director Gustavo Portela noted.
"The reason we’re doing it is we’re seeing in poll after poll that she’s vulnerable, with the latest polling showing her losing to a generic Republican." Portela cited a Detroit News survey from earlier this month.
Whitmer is also a frequent target of the Republican Governors Association (RGA), which has spent $500,000 so far this cycle to take aim at her...

Who is her opponent?

Better get that narrowed down, Stat!
Whitmer is a scheming Nazi, still in power only because of corruption and the propaganda of her Big Media pals

Cue Baghdad Gretchen, “my work here is completed”.

Don’t let anyone else ever forget them. Remind them out of love and patriotism.
SciFi break: she reminds me so much, eerily, you of the leader who represented the alien Commander who during a press conference I think had her face mask torn revealing the reptilian skin beneath in the V (vistors)

Right around the time she was handed a guinea pig or other rodent and just gobbled it down like a stinky python would

Whitmer has been invisible for over a year here.
Shiny shoebox face went full sociopath during COVID.
Banned yard work, the sale of seeds for growing your own food, outboard motorboats, paint sales, construction projects, ordered shelter in place and only allowed travel to and from parks for exercise, put COVID infected with elderly causing precipitative death.

What no one is pointing out is the GOP did nothing to stop her. Nothing. Demand was high for a recall, but they sat on their hands complicit in the tyranny and death she was causing.
Half of that list are probably Democrats, or Romney-crats.
Same thing really.
Where is John James?
Dunno.
He might be a little down about having the Michigan Senate seat stolen from him TWICE...
I thought the same thing. Evil lizard.
Yugo, I'll govern..."
We certainly need to “retire” Witless”, but ALSO need to retire the Michigan GOP. They’re just a whole group of Whitmers..
Bears REPEATING!!

The Michigan GOP also need to be run out of state on a rail as well.
Shirky MUST go. He can rejoin his smarmy cadaver-like RINO pals and retire with all of his ill-gotten winnings at the “Who wants to be a Corrupt Millionaire in Lansing?
Maybe he’ll just retire quietly in some country estate in Clark lake and run into the Michigan Panther down by the Grand River.
Chief Craig is the guy.
