Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-Mich. (Governor’s office photo)
The governor of Michigan has been called a “crazy woman” in an online commentary for her “tyrannical rule, her blind ambition and her raw hatred for those who disagree with her.”
Gretchen Whitmer demanded that retailers ban the in-person sale of seeds during the coronavirus pandemic because seeds were non-essential. She also required home supply stories to close sections, like flooring, for the same reason.
And she “limited access of doctors from prescribing the lifesaving drugs hydroxychloroquine and Z-Paks to save senior citizens.”
She even kept sending coronavirus patients to nursing homes, and she banned motorboats and jet skis, but allowed canoes and sailboats. She limited church meetings and barbers.

Most recently, she “took to the streets last week and marched with Black Lives Matter while Michigan was still under a coronavirus lockdown order.”
Now she wants a bailout from the nation’s taxpayers to fix the damage to her state from the pandemic, and the response.
According to WILX in Lansing, she held a press conference to explain the state’s needs.
“She said the state has more than $436 million fighting COVID-19 in the past 10 weeks, which is money the state wasn’t planning on spending when the budget was set a year ago, on top of the $3 billion the state has already lost in tax revenue,” the report said.
“The governor said there is no way to cut spending enough to fill the estimated $6 billion hole over the next two years.”
So her resolution is to have the federal government pay up.
“Under the current federal Cares Act, states can’t use federal aid money to pay for things that were in the budget before the pandemic started,” the report said.
“Our enemy now is not one another, our enemy is a virus called COVID-19,” the governor said. “We can’t do it on our own.”
She said she’s taken a 10% pay cut but she wants help so she can now to start handing over money to education programs, to law enforcement, the first responders, and to the unemployed.
And vaccine research, she said.
One of the favorites on which she wants to spend money is a Futures for Frontliners program, which allows people who work in hospitals, nursing homes and the like to get training from colleges.
She insists contact tracing is important to continue, as well as self-quarantining.
She’s faced controversy because of reports her husband had wanted to launch his boat for the summer season, even though others were not allowed to be doing that.
“She encouraged leftists to protest in the streets while telling small businesses and churches to remain closed because of the coronavirus,” GP reported. “Earlier this month, the tyrannical government joined the radical call to ‘defund the police.'”
