In reply to the discussion: Gov Whitmer gets schooled by Trump-Dems be warned [View all]Autumn
(48,189 posts)39. I've listened to her. I'm disappointed that she met with that orange piece of shit knowing what he does.
I had no fucking problem with her speech. Maybe you should try to read the article and see why people are disappointed. He fucking sandbagged her.
She was scheduled to meet privately with him and discuss Michigan issues. That wasnt how it ultimately played out.
Instead, she stood by as he signed several executive orders, including two calling for Justice Department probes of officials who served in his first administration and called him out for falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen. He made the false claims about the elections being rigged again Wednesday.
Whiterr was invited into the Oval Office alongside Michigan state House Speaker Matt Hall, a Republican, as Trump held court with reporters and signed the executive orders. Photos showed Whitmerr standing uncomfortably against a door as the cameras rolled.

The OP is not about her speech, which was good. The OP is about her meeting with the orange sack of shit

It wasn't just her speech. It was her letting Trump use her for his fascist EO photo op.

I think you're confusing me with NNadir--that's who you had directed your question to.
