Stupid, bad leadership and an epic sense of elitism. From The Detroit News:
Gov. Whitmer asks Detroit business leaders to 'lean in' on promoting civility
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer made a direct appeal to Detroit business leaders Friday morning, asking them to get more involved in promoting civility in state politics.
"I think that it's really important in this moment that the chamber and the members of the chamber lean in and hold people who espouse rhetoric that is dangerous accountable, and play a real role here," Whitmer said.
She made the comment during a virtual "address for the business community" held by the Detroit Regional Chamber. The Democratic governor spoke for about 15 minutes before taking questions from Sandy Baruah, the chamber's president and CEO.
So she knew she was going to be asked questions about her leadership abilities and she asked the rabble to be "civil". Thanks to the incredible efforts of the Bad Orange Man, national unemployment is down to about 6% (down from 14.7% during the height of the Wuhan Flu panic). Michigan is at 7.5% - higher than the national average and much higher than some surrounding states.
If she is that thin skinned about words, maybe people should start using sticks and stones. Anything to get her out of public office and out of harm's way (the public's harm, not hers).
