Whitmer may simply be a handy ally for Biden/Harris, but whether it’s chance or intent, her statement here is virtually guaranteed to elicit even more spittle-flecked irrelevant spew from the Orange Excrescence–in the last 7 days of the campaign.

Well played, Ma’am.

Vice President Harris might have a different viewpoint, but having someone like Whitmer, or Katie Porter in the batter’s box is a fine, fine thing…

Whitmer Hits Back At Trump After Repeated Attacks: ‘He Has Only Lies, Vitriol, And Hate’

Just add “ignorance” and that pretty well sums up Donald Trump.

Got this from the Whitmer team today.

Just when we thought he couldn’t stoop lower, Donald Trump is coming to Lansing – Gretchen’s home city – to hold another rally.

He thinks that by visiting Lansing, he can intimidate Gretchen and rile up his right-wing supporters.

This rally is nothing more than an attempt to further a petty feud with Gretchen, and we’re sick and tired of it.

Gretchen will not be bullied or intimidated by anyone, especially Donald Trump. She is laser-focused on getting results for Michiganders, and we are ready to put an end to the Trump Presidency by flipping Michigan blue in just SEVEN days.

I wish him a bumpy ride. Hope he doesn’t trip trying to walk down the ramp. :smiling_imp:

I don’t think he’s doing anything “…because he thinks it will help his reelection.”

He pulls crap like this because he enjoys hurting others.

“She wants to be a dictator,” he says. It’s remarkable how much of the drek that spews from his mouth is pure projection. “Loser” stands out as a frequent, and possibly the foremost, example.

So this whole problem with ramps extends to the failure of the Trump campaign to ramp up his base?

Fight back, Governor! As a talented leader, expect the Republicans to come after you; in a really odd way, any woman of talent gets skewered by the GOP including their current slavering dog who is sadly our president.

To ramp up enough of the American people for sure.

“She wants to be a dictator in Michigan,” Trump said during an interview on Fox Business less than two weeks ago. “The people can’t stand her.”

Hmm, she has a + net approval rating in Mich, Donny. Which is more than you can say.

White supremacy is closely tied to male chauvinism. They are hand in glove with the GOP.

Donald, to Hope Hicks, as Biden’s DOJ drags him away: “We’ll always have Charlottesville.”
