Gretchen Whitmer’s “Apology” for Mocking Christians is “Fundamentally Dishonest”
Life News ^ | October 15, 2024 | Bill Donohue

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer dug herself a new hole when she offered a fundamentally dishonest apology, and then had her press secretary lie about what happened.

Whitmer said she would “never do something to denigrate someone’s faith,” which, of course, she did. Indeed, it is the very reason she was forced to say something. She also said the video that she shot with podcaster Liz Plank was supposed to be “about the importance of the CHIPS Act.” This is risible on the face of it—no one is buying it. We all know what she was doing: mocking the Eucharist.

Stacey LaRouche, Whitmer’s press secretary, lied when she said, “Liz is not kneeling in the video.” Plank also lied when she said, “No one was on their knees. I’m sitting on a couch that’s visible in the shot.”

The picture doesn’t lie. To see it click here.

Plank was sitting on a couch for the interview, but when she pretended to be receiving Holy Communion, she got on her knees. Whitmer then placed a Dorito chip on her tongue. This is not debatable.

The only reason Whitmer said anything is because we contacted every parish in the state of Michigan, as well as every state lawmaker. We also blanketed the media. News stories exploded on radio and TV, and it was covered by newspapers and internet news and commentary sites across the nation. Michigan Catholics took it from there and let their voices be heard. Good for them.

Whitmer could have put her anti-Catholic stunt behind her by issuing a sincere apology. Instead she decided to lie about it. Doubling down on her bigoted attack—ridiculing the most sacred aspect of the Mass—is a decision that will come back to haunt her. Bet on it.

No big deal. She’s safe until 26-waste of time.

Sadly, lack of intelligence in a politician does not prohibit them from being elected and re-elected numerous times. This is especially true for the DEMs. All they need is a “D” next to their name, and they have a blind, brainwashed voter base always there for them.

To me it also has a suggestion of diesel-dyke, S&M dominatrix roll-playing

which makes it even more bizarre and disturbing

That’s the thing about Democrats. All they got to do is say “my bad” I mis-spoke, mis-did or “I really meant this.....” and all is forgiven.

Of course it is, because she’s a witch. May God save her.

I have long believed that Whitmer is clinically insane.

You can see it in her eyes.

I see the glint of evil, but the there’s significant overlap between the two conditions, if not complete integration.

Whitmer and that ditz are SO disgusting. Then she did the non-apology apology basically saying the usual liberal crap “I’m sorry if YOU were offended.”

“waste of time:”

Hardly. It very well could change some Catholic (and Protestant) minds about the presidential election.

No kidding. It really smacks of that which makes it all the more disgusting.

Business as usual
