Amidst her on-air appearances defending Joe Biden against a credible claim of sexual assault, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) has turned to a common liberal refrain: slandering your opponents as misogynistic racists a.k.a. deplorables.
Despite Hillary Clinton’s 2016 defeat, Democrats can privately argue, and with some truth, that they have seen success employing this tactic.
For her part, Whitmer hasn’t wasted an opportunity promoting this revived narrative to a mostly sympathetic media despite her recent slip-ups. (RELATED: Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer Panics After Being Grilled Over Contract Scandal)

Michigan Gov. @gretchenwhitmer calls some protests in her state “racist and misogynistic” and urges others “to stop encouraging this behavior because it only makes it that much more precarious for us to try to reengage our economy.” https://t.co/cVclFZQmjA pic.twitter.com/K9QED6Pfbi

The Hill reports:
“This is not appropriate in a global pandemic,” she said. “But it’s certainly not an exercise of democratic principles where we have free speech. This is calls to violence. This is racist and misogynistic.”
The Michigan governor requested that those with a platform uses it to promote the practices issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and “to stop encouraging this behavior because it only makes it that much more precarious for us to try to reengage our economy.”
…
“The whole point of them supposedly is that they don’t want to be doing that,” she said. “And that is why I’m asking anyone with a platform to call on people to do the right thing.”
Protests have broken out against Whitmer’s stay-at-home order over the past month as people are demanding the state economy and businesses reopen. The governor extended the state’s stay-at-home order last week to last until May 28 from the previous deadline of May 15.

Why hasn’t this comment been removed it has nothing to do with the article and it’s obviously untrue.
Gretchen is typical of Democrat women. She just follows orders, calls people names and makes statements that her lemming followers believe. One thing she does NOT believe in. She does not believe in God nor does she believe she will have to answer for the lies and her evil actions. God have mercy on her soul.
You are the power hungry white forking pig Charles Manson wanted to be. You are going to be Whitie that tells the colored people how to do things. Hey Gretchen you are the minority in this country.
These people are not Enemies of the State. The State is now America’s enemy. They are a domestic National Security danger off the leash.
Gretchen “the Witch” Whitchmer, the face of Democratic Michigan Gestapo attacking the voters, some who supported her before she showed her true despotic instinct. I think she’s campaigning for the VP job under sleepy senile Joe Biden!! The thought of that witch of a woman becoming president should be alarming to all!!
You said it. She is possessed by the devil. Doesn’t care about us or our state. Shame on all the people who voted for this crazy woman.
Just another liberal idiot like the ass wipe in California, not much more to say other than this which in few words says plenty. Move on, not much more here, ’nuff said. One thing more though, hopefully the American people are getting sick and tired of the liberals and will kick them to the curb on November 3rd, 2020. The only negative thing though, we’ve got to deal with them in the meantime. Wake up America and the sooner the better.
This woman is a fascist, pure and simple. She is so far out of the mainstream of what used to be traditional American life that it’s crazy. Resorting to name calling, and horrible ones at that, is beneath the dignity of her office. I’m not name calling. She fits the definition of fascist. So the shoe fits. She’s a sick woman and does not deserve being in office much less the governor or a major state. From what I understand, she is also a top contender for Crazy Joe’s VP. Wow, what a ticket. Crazy at both ends.
Russell, this crazy libtard B*tch’s antics will hopefully wake the people up & they’ll vote for a republican. If they don’t, they can expect even worse from her. Remember Russell the left want to control, power & money!!
Vote republican….to get rid of the tyrants in Democrat states.
Hey, I guess it is ok for you to commit fraud and call people misogynistic racists (which means- behave like a reflecting or exhibiting hatred, dislike, mistrust, or mistreatment of women) when you liberals are mistreating women all the time. What happened to innocent before proven guilty, it doesn’t just apply to liberals.
I learned early on from a great history teacher. He said never believe a socialist or communist when they say something because when they lie, If it benefits the party it’s not a lie to them!
Excellent teaching, but I wish more Americans knew this before they voted for Obummer!
She’s shown that some people should never be put in charge of anything. The power goes to their head and they begin to think that they are superior to everyone else and that should mean that individual rights don’t matter only their desires. I believe that when she’s up for re-election that she’s going to learn the hard way that Americans have had enough of her.
I hope you are right! But I doubt it, remember, Obama was elected TWICE!
I ______ do solemnly swear to uphold and protect the Constitution of the United State of America against all enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC. She better remember that!
Most democrats want power and money. They do not have enough sense to come in out of the rain. It looks like people are waking up and voting Republican. They had elections in at least two Dem states and Republicans won. I hope this is a sign of good things to come.
VOTE in November like your FREEDOM Depends on it…… because IT DOES !!!!
Look NO further than the Tyrannical Actions of these Dictator wannabees if you want to see what REAL Socialism looks like…..
If you want to remain FREE , then there is only 1 way to FIX this ….. and that is to Vote Every Democrat OUT of Office in November…….
Trump 2020 …… Straight ticket Republican 2020….
Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, I am stealing your first line for my own bumper magnet. Thanks, CountryBoy
Gee Witmer, I never knew that A$$holes were a race! And it’s not women I don’t have any use for. It’s Petty Tyrants I can’t stand. When you gonna start wearing a mask at your press conferences? I have a hard time with anyone male or female who orders me to do something (In this case wear a mask.) But refuses to follow their own orders. Soooo stuff your orders where the sun don’t shine!!
If These “Guvnors” and Democrat Congress men and women were to have their “Paychecks” come to a screeching Halt ,I bet we would see an impressive Change in their Attitude and they would suddenly be “All In”on Jump Starting the Economy !!!
I feel sorry for the people of her state, someone should start a recall petition on her.
Already started. Michigan Resident? go to Change.org to sign on!
Well Michigan you elected this idiot to be your governor, hope your happy with what you got, need to use your brain when you vote!
Time to get a sniper. Period.
A Quote from Gov. Witmers Mentor Adolph Hitler which he used to cover all abuses committed by the State! “Fur Ihre Sicherheit”… “It’s for your safety”
Dang,
She sounds a lot like the bus driver Maduro. I wonder why?
So TIREd of everything being a racist issue – as this governor now uses for her purposes. I’m one of those “deplorable” voters who also marches in the streets to protest when necessary.
Helen, I agree with you. I wish the media and the DNC would stop making everything a racist issue. Its ridiculous. Everything is NOT about race. There were many derogatory comments about Governor Whitmer that included her gender, but its to be expected. Every politician, regardless of sex, has to deal with derogatory comments by people that are unhappy with their policies.
Also, you have a 1st Amendment right to protest. Michigan did not infringe on that right and did not stop any protests from happening, including the armed protest into the capitol building while it was in session, terrifying many of our public servants. I would like to make an observation, however. You can’t bring a gun or a sharp instrument into a courthouse, so I don’t understand why it would be allowed into a state capitol building. Interesting.
I sure hope these protesters show up on Election Day. Both in person AND by mail!
After all has been said and done let your conscience be your guide. Vote at the POLL, do not mail in your vote. I don’t care if you wear a mask or not VOTE IN PERSON.
Who is this ugly broad?
“I’m asking anyone with a platform to call on people to do the right thing.”
That’s the problem, isn’t it? Not that people need to do the right thing, rather that Whitmer is saying anything she says is “the right thing.” We aren’t allowed to have a discussion around what is the right thing. We aren’t even allowed to ask what is the data and science that says this is the right thing? NO, it’s the right thing because Whitmer says it’s the right thing and if you don’t do what I say, I’ll make you using the power of government. That’s called tyranny.
Ya Think she’d Ever say ANYTHING Negative about a BLACK LIVES MATTER protest where Those parasites chant ..FRY COPS LIKE BACON?? F… No!! Can a democrat EVER open their mouth without the word RACIST coming out!!??? How,HOW Anyone could Ever vote for a democrat is Beyond me,I Can’t even stomach the sight nor sound of them.
Michiganders
Remember shortly after Trump was elected in 2016 and Jill Stein was part of a lawsuit to get a ballot recount. Stein and whoever was backing her were successful however that recount quickly ended. The reason was when they started recounting the precinct ballot boxes they found that there were 120-150% more votes than registered voters in nearly every precinct they checked. This was in the Detroit area where nearly every voter does favor Democrats. I am not sure how the state should insure this doesn’t happen again but trust that the left will do everything in their power to not lose in 2020.
She is an EVIL -itch. Have her impeached for the way she has treated the people of Michigan. She won’t let people go out side and plant a garden, the sun gives one natural D3 which helps protect a person from the virus. She just wants to make everyone there dependent on the government, COMMUNISM!
You people are all nuts. Camille, the governor did not tell anyone that they can’t plant a garden or go outside. That’s a complete lie. You are all so deluded by the media, the RNC, and the DNC – 3 of the worst, most corrupt organizations in the U.S. Both sides are absolutely ridiculous. We need to get MONEY out of political campaigns and we’ll see a major turnaround in this country. The people will elect politicians that have their interests in mind, and in turn, those politicians will not have to pay heed to corporate donors. The RNC, DNC, and the monopolized mainstream media are doing everything they can to divide everyone in the country, so that they don’t pay attention to the fleecing of America that they are doing behind the scenes. Stop listening to them! Do some research and stop coming onto biased sites such as these, be they liberal or conservative, for your information. They are complete liars. I really wish this site, and all other politically-biased sites, would stop sending me these emails. How did they get my email address, anyhow??
If you don’t like the content of an E-mail, don’t read it. Problem solved!!
This clip seems to be showing signs that she’s expressing traits of being a Matriarch of Misandry and one who hates all Republicans and/or anyone who challenges her opinions?
The perfect ticket for dumb dem’s – Hidin’ Biden and Dim Whit’.
Now, there’s a scary thought!!!
Why, thank you, Comrade Whitmer. By trotting out the race card you have proven your opponents correct.
Whitner is a typical DemoRat: If you don’t agree with me, then you are one of the deplorables, that Hillary “the Criminal” Clinton was very fond of calling working-class Americans. We all have the Communist Chinese to thank for spreading their disease world wide, and our own domestic Communist and Socialist politicians and news media for getting us to give up our personal freedoms so easily. Now that Pandora’s Box has been opened, expect to surrender your freedoms again when governments decide they want you to.
