MI-GOV: Gretchen Whitmer reads mean tweets

Gretchen Whitmer is many things: the leading Democratic gubernatorial candidate, a former member of the Michigan House and Senate, a wife, and a mother. But she's also a woman on Twitter, which of course means she gets plenty of pure idiocy thrown her way because Twitter is truly hell.

In a video posted to her Twitter account today, Whitmer decided to take a break from the more serious issues of the campaign to read some of her mean tweets. They range from your garden variety misogyny ("Get back in the kitchen&quot to worries that President Donald Trump might call her "Gretchen Shitmer," to someone just calling her a "nazi, fascist, communist butthole."

It wasn't all shade, though: one Twitterer said Whiter was "so damn fine she makes me wanna be a Democrat again."
