“I’m never going to apologize for the fact that because there was a vacuum of leadership at the federal level, we had to take action to save people here in Michigan,” Ms. Whitmer said in an interview for “Axios on HBO” that was published this week.

Ms. Whitmer recently extended her state’s stay-at-home order to June 12 even as some restrictions in certain parts of Michigan have been relaxed.

“There’s a slim part of the population that is showing up at the capital with their assault rifles and their Confederate flags and Nazi symbolism. But you know what? That’s not what you see as you get across Michigan,” she said.

The only vacuum is the one between your ears, Nit-Whitmer.

We're completely ignoring any travel restrictions.

BTW, tons of people at the boat marina yesterday, working on boats or enjoying their boats. All without masks, except the boat bottom sanders/painters.

That’s because the capital is where you’re located. Not just a coincidence.

It was obvious from the beginning she wanted a Democrat roadmap to follow and avoid blame. After Trump called her a Half Whit, she was done and became a petty B****.i hope she has lifelong karma for her treatment of the good people of Michigan.

Only Repunlicans, like Pence, issue groveling apologies when they are being attacked.

Maybe she’s just confident that the RAT vote fraud machine will carry Michigan for Biden.

I’m hopeful Trump takes Michigan again and John James becomes senator.

But to read some of the posts on these FR threads, you would think that RAT vote fraud is invincible.

Trump made some recent comments about vote fraud, which the MSM blew off, as we would expect.

I have to wonder what countermeasures are being put into place.

Trump surely knows vote fraud is the one serious threat to his reelection and the RATs best chance to seize power and turn us into a communist dictatorship.

But it would be poor operational security for Trump to say all he knows at this relatively early date. No sense giving the RATs any warnings.

“we had to take action to save people here in Michigan”

Note: She really means the 3 counties around Detroit.

The rest of Michigan was just fine, and could have stayed open while Detroit was taken care of.

I can’t believe she thinks she looks good in that dress. She looks like a fat person in long underwear.

Blue governors are afraid you will not get sick! This fat, ugly and hostile b$tch is wearing the correct color of tarp.

During these trying and stressful times:

Over Drinking/eating/getting depressed at home alone is condoned by all of the governors of blue states.

If you are lucky enough to live in a red state, then go out and have a good time....

WTF are Blue State Governors putting in strict stay at home orders??!!

Wouldn't they want people to go out & then later on catch the virus & infect more people & probably ending TRUMP's chances at reelection???!!!

or is it they know the virus is very hard to contract when people are aware of it & have saftey precautions on so opening up the economy now is bad news for Democrats???
