Catholic Sisters Calling for GOP Leader's Removal After 'Disturbing' Comments About Female Leaders
WNEM Channel 5 ^ | 3/29/21

The chairman of the Michigan GOP and member of the University of Michigan board of regents is being asked to resign after calling the top three elected women in the state witches.

An organization of Catholic sisters is also joining the calls for him to step down.

“Anger and frustration,” said Sister Jane Herb.

Herb, the president-elect of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, said she was not only disturbed by Michigan Republican Party chairman Ron Weiser comments toward Michigan’s top elected officials but also that they came from an elected leader.

“To know that the leader of the Republican Party and a regent for the University of Michigan make such terms feeds into the divisiveness within our country and state,” Herb said.

Weiser came under fire Friday after calling Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of state Jocelyn Benson "witches" who should be ready for the burning at the stake.

He made the comment after jokingly referring to assassination as a way of dealing with two Michigan congressmen who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump after the January 6 insurrection on Capitol Hill.

His comment was intended to re-focus the party on defeating Whitmer, Nessel and Benson in 2022.

Oh, grow up. Sticks and stones...what are you, 12? Everybody’s so afraid to say something that’s not politically correct these days. Who knows? Has anyone checked to make sure they aren’t witches?

These so called “sisters” who do not wear the habit need to stop pretending and just drop the church as they are embarrassed to witness to the faith.

If I ever offend any witch I’d ask them to please let me know immediately - so I can do it over and over and over.

Some group of (fake) Christians was being played up by our local Stalinazi rag demanding our Governor denounce “The Big Lie” (defined as daring to believe fraud occurred in the November 2020 elections). It sounded like they were equating believing that Trump won was the same as Holocaust denial. Very evil.

Fake Christian leftist group with a rapidly declining membership made up mostly of old women.

To be honest, The Michigan Mean Girls are Soros whores who stole two elections in a row.

Witchcraft may have been involved.
