Tyrant Whitmer Calls DeSantis ‘Incredibly Destructive’ For Waging Culture War

Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, tyrannical Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) smeared Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling his governing style “incredibly destructive.”

Asked if DeSantis poses a real threat to Democrats if he ends up being the Republican presidential nominee, Whitmer replied, “I don’t really know Ron DeSantis, so it’s hard for me to say anything real substantiative, other than I’ll say this – when I took my oath of office, I took an oath to be the governor for all of the people of Michigan. I don’t wage culture wars. I fight culture wars because I’m focused on solving problems. I think it’s incredibly destructive when people just try to pit others against one another, stoke fear. I think that’s a really destructive way to lead. And so that, you know, we’ll watch and see what happens. As I said, I don’t know him.”

Host propagandist Jake Tapper said, “You just described him, in your view.”

The COVID lockdown queen Whitmer said, “I think that there are people who are out there that stoke fear and anger and misinformation to help themselves politically. And I’m not saying, you know, who I think falls into that category. I’m just saying, that’s not how I operate. Every governor takes an oath to serve all the people in their state, whether they voted for them or not. That’s what should drive every decision.”

The Democrats fear DeSantis precisely because he is effective at pushing back in the culture war that the Democrats themselves started and have been waging for half a century.

Portraying Her Critics As Racists, Neo-Nazis, & Vigilantes

On May 1, 2020, Whitmer announced that her stay-at-home order would remain in effect through May 15, and she also declared a new 28-day state of emergency for her state. When hundreds of demonstrators subsequently gathered in Lansing to protest the governor’s ongoing emergency measures, the governor characterized the demonstrators as racists, neo-Nazis, and vigilantes:

“So, unfortunately right now in Michigan we see a small number of people – it looks large on television. But when you think about this is a state of 10 million people, this is a small contingent that came out and made political statements. They carried nooses and confederate flags and swastikas. And yet, while we’re focusing on their carrying – their open carrying automatic rifles, that is legal in Michigan. It is not advisable…. [T]he fact of the matter is, that kind of rhetoric, that kind of ugly political rallying is only making it harder for us to re-engage, which is the sad irony, is that demonstrations like that create the need to continue this aggressive stance that we’ve had to take to save lives.”
