Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer slammed the protesters who gathered inside the state's Capitol building on Thursday to demand she rescind her stay-at-home orders, saying they represented the “worst racism and awful parts” of U.S. history.
“Some of the outrageousness of what happened at our capitol depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history in this country,” Whitmer said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“The behavior you've seen in all of the clips is not representative of who we are in Michigan,” she added.

I did not see anything racist. I truly believe that she has some major psychological issues and her leadership skills are missing. From her comments and actions she is losing control. People of Michigan, turn up the heat and watch her go crazy.

NO Half-Whit, they represented this thing called the Bill of Rights Part 1 and 2. As far as I know there's not a dam thing you can do about it. Shush, stifle, hide until November.

Whitmer and CNN chose to focus on the one or two idiots with a rebel flag or carrying guns. She ignores the thousands of protesters who were peaceful and protesting for their rights back.

I too am wondering where is the racism? Whenever "they" can't think of a response that makes sense they throw out the word racism. I suggest the good people of MI throw out their government leadership. Democrats to be exact.

Notice how she goes straight for the most important amendments, 1st and 2nd. There are very good reasons why they are 1 and 2.

Politically, this Marxist/Fascist/Commie/DemoCrap/POS is Burnt Toast.
Wisconsin needs to Dump this Hitlerite-Wana-Be into the Trash and start fresh with someone who believes in the Bill of Rights and the Dignity of Man/Woman Kind.
If these DemoCrap Govs, notoce they are mostly females, don't get real, there may be some very bad trouble ahead.
I hope peace prevails but these Donkies deserve the Non-Peace if it happens but if the Stuffing Hits the Fan, we'll all suffer from it.
GOD, please help us through this Commie Takover of the Greatest Nation on Earth......

Don't dismiss Whitmer's re-election prospects. She is not up until 2022, by which time this virus thing will be forgotten and friendly media will unleash their revisionist history casting her as a heroine.

I guess the lesson to be learned from our side is to not allow people to have a photo op with confederate flags. Not that these guys weren’t ANTIFA false flags, which is the most likely explanation.
The liberals will still cry racism, but at least they won’t get a photo.

Whitmer is a liar. She knows the protesters are not racist. Therefore, Whitmer's charge is inherently racist.

#15, Half-Whitmer is like a 3 year old....unhappy and calling everyone a "poo-poo head", except she learned a NEW word, "racist" so everyone she is unhappy with is a "racist".
The woman is profoundly stupid, and dangerous.

No Witless. They were sending you a message. As should President Trump. Governors that issue orders that violate the Constitution should be sent a stern warning from the President, that such orders issued will result in federal prosecution. This should have been done from the beginning. It would have solved many of the problems were having right now.

She has already chaired a committee to find out why more African Americans tested positive for Covid-19 than 'whites' but she admitted she had no numbers on Hispanics, Asians etc. She uses the word 'Racism' to describe anything and everything. Maybe if she would cut back on the Tyranny a bit people wouldn't be so angry.

She keeps fighting back, doesn't she? Not a good look for a leader, especially during a time of crisis. That self-destruction she is on the path of will hopefully be a short one.

Confederate Flags in Michigan? To paraphrase Aunt Pittypat in Gone With the Wind: How did they get in here? Confederate flags mean different things to different people. For some it represents racism. For me it's just a regional symbol. But for the people in Michigan I think it means resistance to dictatorial government. Wearing masks and social distancing is understandable. But preventing people from buy seed isn't going to stop a virus.

Racism is the go-to response to all things that thwart them, those dems....
Watched the news reports; even looked elsewhere. Gretchen is lying - not a single nazi flag. Didn't notice any Confederate flags either. But the news doesn't report that none of those were seen, none were reported by those in the capital building...they just quote her and let her get away with it.

Is Gretchen white, or did the definition of racism change to disobeying pushy, leftist, white women who will be obeyed or else?

I've been trying to figure Ms. Witless is. Not that it matters. I am convinced she is a person of color. Not maybe. She is. And so goes her agenda. Oh I'm going to plant some red swiss chard tomorrow. Have scads of flowers to plant. No I do not live in the great state of Michigan. At least JBE our economy destroying gov hasn't stopped us from planting veggies. Yes, Ms. Witless is black.

Governor plays that tired, torn, tattered race card. When the left cannot offer an argument on public issues, that race card is always handy.

I have no idea of the party makeup of the Michigan legislature, or what their state constitution says about removing a governor, but if they have impeachment capability, the people need to be contacting their legislators and getting rid of this dangerous megalomaniac.
I think if you look up megalomaniac in the dictionary, there is a picture of Half Whitmer.

If the protestors were white, and the governor is white, where exactly is the "racism" that she is claiming???
The only "white on white racism" are brain-dead white limousine lie-berals who hate their own race. I'm pretty sure that none of these protestors were brain-dead limousine lie-berals!!!!!

She sounds exactly like Cuomo did when PT prohibited European flights - "it's not representative of who we are in New York,” thus ensuring importation of virus carriers. The demonrat drive-by propaganda media never mentions that after Cuomo pontificates every day about how wonderful and presidential he is. Cuomo is a LOSER. Period.

So Gretchen, where exactly is the racism you're claiming? Are you upset that the plebians dared question your authority? These people did nothing but exercise their Constitutional rights to Free Assembly and to Bear Arms. This lady is toast in the next election, but the people should try to remove her from office before then.
