(69 posts)Unlike this shill, who criticizes Whitmer on behalf of the Orange Pretender. You should only watch the first few minutes, in order to avoid nausea:
Postscript: I was going to headline this reply as The Shill on The Hill, the latter being nothing more than a Featherweight Facsimile of Fox as a "news" organization.

(64,427 posts)...what would she apologize for?
Saving constituents' lives? Stopping far more people getting sick? Helping avoid health care systems being overwhelmed?
I get the small biz owners being hurt, but dead people are crummy customers.
And, I still remember the 2 drones who TOOK THE DAY OFF WORK TO GO TO THE PROTEST!
They weren't hurt, they just wanted a haircut.
