In life, there are those moments we’d give anything to take back or do over. Gretchen Whitmer must be feeling that way after what unfolded at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit. “Big Gretch” made her appearance and found herself in a tough spot, smiling through the pain as the crowd overwhelmingly booed her. This wasn’t a case of mixed reactions; it was a clear, uninterrupted stream of disapproval. There she stood, arms raised, feigning celebration—the perfect picture of a clueless, elite politician who can’t fathom just how disliked she really is.

Athlon Sports:

The Detroit Lions have been one of the most active teams on Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft this Saturday, already trading up twice to land two talents in the fourth round in BYU OT Giovanni Manu and Utah RB/S Sione Vaki.

To announce the Manu selection at No. 126 overall, the Lions chose Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Her entrance onto the NFL Draft stage was met with a mixed crowd reaction, including audible cheers and boos.

Whitmer not only announced the Lions first fourth-round pick – she also broke the news that the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit had set a new all-time attendance record.

“It has been a historic week in the great city of Detroit,” Whitmer began. “We have shown the world what the Motor City is all about. It is my honor to announce that the 2024 NFL Draft has now broken the all-time record! “700,000 and counting. So, thank you NFL fans and thank you Detroit.”

Nobody deserves a chorus of boos quite like “Big Gretch,” who’s still holding the reins in Michigan because the RNC, under Ronna McDaniel’s rule, nominated weak RINOs to challenge her or refused to support anybody who could take her down. It’s almost as if Ronna was handing her the governorship on a silver platter.

 

It’s no surprise that Michigan turned on her with a vengeance. After all, Whitmer was the “Lockdown Lady” during the COVID fiasco, ordering everyone else to stay put while she jetted around the country on private planes.

AP:

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is facing renewed scrutiny after reports that she used a private plane shared by high-powered, politically connected Detroit-area business families to visit her elderly father in Florida in March.

Whitmer has repeatedly refused to give details about the trip, including when and where she went, how she got there and how she paid for it, citing security reasons. She has only said that taxpayer money was not used to pay for it, that it lasted “two full days or less” and that she went more than a month before April 19, when news of the trip leaked.

Her father, a retired CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, has a home in West Palm Beach.

And let’s not forget “Goblin Gretchen’s” nursing home scandal, for which she was never held accountable. It’s a troubling chapter that somehow seems to have been swept under the rug for this unpopular Democrat, a pattern that is disturbingly common these days.

Daily Mail:

America’s coronavirus nursing home crisis deepened today amid claims that Michigan’s death toll could be double the official figure and that Andrew Cuomo used the Speaker to help hide New York’s cover-up.

Cuomo and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer have been under intense scrutiny since August when Trump said they ‘issued COVID-19 orders that may have resulted in deaths of elderly nursing home residents.’

[…]

Now it appears that Michigan may have similarly under-counted its care home death toll.

The health department has recorded more than 19,000 Covid-19 deaths, of which at least 5,600 were in care homes.

But the department relies on an ‘honor system’ where care homes self-report their coronavirus fatalities.

Another 6,945 Covid-19 deaths are classified vaguely as ‘vital records reviews’ – these are totted up by health officials going through death certificates.

‘This is where the problem begins,’ according to Charlie LeDuff for Deadline Detroit.

In a sample selection of 1,468 vital records from March to June 2020, 648 Covid deaths were traced back to nursing homes – that’s 44 percent.

‘Apply 44 percent to the nearly 7,000 vital records and there may be another 3,000 deaths of the institutionalized elderly unaccounted for,’ LeDuff writes.

While MSNBC might tell us that Biden is up by 30 points in Michigan, crediting Michiganders’ prosperity and their love for Whitmer’s leadership and Biden’s robust economy, the people of Michigan are telling a very different story. So, who are you going to believe—the fake propaganda news or your own eyes and ears?
