Gov. Gretchen Whitmer confirmed her husband made “a failed attempt at humor” over the weekend after a comment he made to a docking company drew criticism from conservatives. In a now-deleted Facebook post, Tad Dowker, owner of NorthShore Dock LLC, said a man called the company a few days before Memorial Day weekend asking if he could put his boat in the water. According to Dowker’s post, when office staff said the company started working three weeks late so that was not going to happen, staff told him the caller said, “I am the husband to the governor, will this make a difference?”

Her office denied the accusation first.. but it was corroborated- I cut no slack for a tin Ear husband of a draconian tyrant nor her.
I call her Witchmer- Lord Farquaad’s Evil twin.

Here's the follow up question. Why was he going out of town during the lock down? Why was he even thinking about putting his boat over after she had said that no one could use a motor boat. Not a joke. Just typical Democrat/ Socialist "do you know who I am" attitude.

This wouldn't have been a "tough chapter" for your family if you weren't so power mad. You have only yourself to blame. You know what they say about karma.......

We know it's not true because Leftist have no sense of humor, except for the mean-girl, make fun of conservatives type. Tell a vicious Trump joke and they will all laugh. That's about it.

The posters on this subject that find this so abhorrent should try taking Valium to calm down. Doesn’t sound like he demanded something just tried name dropping. People do it all the time.
Ps. I can’t say I like any dem member of Congress and think they are evil people and I would never vote for any democrat but some things are to minor to get upset about.

The baby organ harvesting Gov. of Virginia, I’ve heard, now wants everyone to wear a mask. Excepting self and family of course, they are pure, beaches are OK for them.

Really? Why don't I believe that? Maybe its because Democrats tend to do this kind of thing? And they always have excuses, if there is push back, about why they were misunderstood, or it was only a joke.
If course if no one notices it objects right away, they take that as permission.

Yeah, whenever the Dems say something offensive, they say it's a joke. I had an extremely annoying cousin when I was young who would say really mean things, and then say, "just teasing." Didn't buy it from her, don't buy it from them.

Enough deserved blame goes to Whitmer's dictatorial and unbalanced (in end and word) governorship, but the spineless legislature will do nothing about. Instead, a judge had to accuse her of overstepping her authority. I want to feel fo the folks in Michigan, but it's difficult, when the citizens do not alert their state legislators.
