This misses a big point. There would be no Democratic legislature if the people of Michigan had not said no to gerrymandering and voted to take redistricting out of the hands of the legislature.
@@jeromewade4110 two plead guilty on advice of ignorant attorneys. They are in appeal now. Since it has been proven that the fbi orchestrated the event. Google still says other wise. Google also still reports 5 police were killed on jan6th. Proven false. Gretchen lied numerous times during this video. The state Capitol was not overwhelmed. There were no swastikas in the crowd. Fire arms were legally carried and the clip with men yelling at police can be easily debunked if you look at any other camera angle except the one they cherry picked. She also claimed the entrance to the hospital was blocked. Debunked by Lansing police,fire and hospital administration. Live your lie friend.
Don’t necessarily agree with all of her policies, but in general she’s been good for Michigan. And certainly better than anything the train wreck Michigan Republican Party has to offer.
Whitmer appoints a campaign donor, Fey Bedoun, to a position that allows her to award $20M to a non-existent outfit, which she then creates so that she can receive the funds that she allocated. Buh buh buh republicaaaaaans! Lmfao
@Detention Hall Putsch know when Granholm was Governor?Let me help. It was when WMD George W nuked the country's and whole world's economy by deregulation of banks and the phony Iraq war.
No doubt she made mistakes, but she does have grit, and deserves respect from both sides of any aisle. Next, please do a story as to why the Yahoos were allowed to carry guns into the g.d. State Capitol.
They've since outlawed open carry in the capitol. It was crazy that body armored assault rifle carrying angry people could have an opportunity to wipe out the whole legislature.
That's because the Michigan Capitol Commission had no rule against it. Can't bring in signs on sticks because those could damage the artwork or the building, though.
I have been following her since the then president singled her out. What they did in Michigan to get her message and the peoples message out has changed this state. We need more people like her in government. I hope she remains safe and well, she is what we need in this country, I’d vote her if she eventually runs for president.
We're not going to let that dizzy liberal clownette be President... Biden is already the worst President of all time..We're not letting another puppet for Soros have power ever again..
Huh? Are you serious?? Whitmer is the Adolph. Were you asleep through the whole covid lockdown? She ruled like a dictator, but weak people lapped it up and loved it lol
On June 30th, she called Biden’s campaign and told them she won’t go against him, and later called someone else and declared Michigan is impossible to win for Biden. She tried walking that back once the story was exposed. This is all according to ABC News.
As a local news reporter in Michigan on leave right now because of PTSD triggered by the shooting at Michigan State, thank you CBS Sunday Morning team for doing what you do best - crafting news stories with hope and heart. I certainly needed it right now.
This is the woman we NEED to be president! I know she said she won't run in 2024, but her leadership should be proof that we need more of her nationwide!
I'm 100% behind my Governor Whitmer and am delighted with her leadership. I'm a 78 yo senior Democrat, who started out life in the home of the Republican Party elites. It's the women of this country who have the clarity of vision to and pragmatism to get the necessary jobs taken care of and keep on steppen'.
@@davidguelette7036 Have you met Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot?... She has claimed to have the biggest d*ck in that town which is in shambles. Thankfully, she lost her re-election, unfortunately, the damage will continue with another corrupt, political hack. Don't be fooled, women are just as rotten, and opportunistic as men.
@David Guelette Yeah,our enemies like us to be weak and feminine too.. that's why the world is taking advantage of us nonstop since Trump left office...Why do liberals think it's cool to be weak and feminine?
And the roads aren't going to get any better. I have worked in road building in Michigan for 17 years and she hasn't made a difference yet. That "Rebuilding Michigan" campaign is only funded by the purchase of bonds that have to be repaid starting in a few years, which takes a lot of funds away from the budget for road work in those years. Our road condition is only going to get worse. I have seen the data. That's what happens when we're dealing with decades of underfunding and the distinct honor of being last in the nation in per capita road funding until the Snyder administration gas tax and vehicle registration increases kicked in in 2015. Whitmer just added another band aid to the bullet hole. She can parade around and say what she wants about how Rebuilding Michigan fixed the damn roads, but it won't change the fact that our roads will still be crap and continue to be crap unless something major is done. Maybe use some of that massive state government surplus that we have... Decades of underfunding for a state that gets frequent freeze/thaw cycling which damages pavement severely is unacceptable.
Whitmer appoints a campaign donor, Fey Bedoun, to a position that allows her to award $20M to a non-existent outfit, which she then creates so that she can receive the funds that she allocated. Yeah. Real brave grift
@@WillieBrownsWeiner Not to mention the thousands she killed by forcing covid positive people into nursing homes. She’s not brave in the slightest brainwashing victim, she’s a murderer.
Worst governor. She killed Covid patient during LOCKDOWN and flew to Florida to see her dad while we are in lockdown. Not my Governor. She also nearly killed me during Covid when I got sick with heart infection.
Whitmer closes all nursing home visits and she secretly flies out of Coleman Young Airport in Detroit to visit her father in Florida! Husband launches his boat when no one else could! FIX THE ROADS!
@@jesusnebot Excuse me, this is not about who deserves an opportunity, it's about maintaining the U.S. as a democratic republic, because if MAGA takes control of the government ONCE it's all over. In other words, it's about the Vince Lombardi principle: winning isn't everything, it's the only thing. There are so many reasons Gretchen Whitmer would be a stronger candidate. Put Roy Cooper on the bottom of the ticket, and we're safe for another 4 years. Forget about who "deserves" it. Biden didn't run in 2016 because Obama and other party leaders felt Hillary "deserved" it...she had put in her time and faithful service to the party, it was her turn. If Biden had been the nominee, we wouldn't even be in this mess, he'd be finishing his second term and it would be politics as usual.
That dictator from Michigan.........can you just imagine this sort of brutal statist shutdown across the entire country? Gretchie is a bonafied statist -- what a horror she would be as pres. At least those freedom lovers in Michigan could escape to another state (most likely not NY, where I live, and wasn't much better than gretchen's prison....but still, was better.)
@@ds0904 And guess which states all had higher death rates than hers? Arizona, Oklahoma, Mississippi, West Virginia, New Mexico, Arkansas, Alabama and Tennessee. Gee, what did those states all have in common in 2020? Arizona? Republican Governor. Oklahoma? Republican governor. Mississippi? Republican governor. West Virginia? Republican governor. Arkansas? Republican Governor. Alabama? Republican governor. Tennessee? You guessed it - Republican governor. Every state except New Mexico with a higher death rate than MI was run by Republicans. So try not to throw them stones in your glass house dude.
@@ds0904 it was spun to sound that way but the truth of the matter is we had to stop the discharging of patients from there long term care facilities because hospitals were already overwhelmed at the time and those for profit care facilities are paid to take care of sick folks. Most of those patients were sent to ER from those homes and like anybody else if you tested positive but stable you were sent HOME to isolate until you were no longer contagious.
I was very impressed with her when she was a state senator. I wanted her to run for governor as soon as her term limit was up, but she took time off for her family. I'm so happy she is my governor and would vote for her as president.
@@suzanneforasiepi3942 Whitmer appoints a campaign donor, Fey Bedoun, to a position that allows her to award $20M to a non-existent outfit, which she then creates so that she can receive the funds that she allocated. Yeah that's all Houston needs.
Because the Republicans, then in power in the legislature, torpedoed every attempt she made at proposals to fund the repairs. Fortunately that Republican majority is now HISTORY.

Been watching Sunday Morning for decades, but sometimes they miss. This is one of those times. It's a one-sided puff piece, completely ignoring the other half of the story. Sometimes I wish they would not do stories on politicians.
@Corey Valid points! The other half of the story is that she's a million times worse than the 45th Pres. on Jan. 6, 2021, she took part in the insurrection at the state capitol in mid-December 2012 with shakedown artist Jesse Jackson and hundreds and hundreds of others on multiple occasions including in July 2014 and mid-March 2011. She's no different than the "Chewbacca guy"and"Qanon Shaman" Jacob Chansley.
@@suzanneforasiepi3942 don’t be ashamed of being a Texan. Yeah good Texan, and all the good parts of it and just focus on that and when you run out just focus on Jesus and Jesus will help
Well Texas actually had a governor like that at one time. But you all allowed Karl Rove to start a whisper campaign against Ann Richards and what you got was a bush or in W's case a shrub.
@@garypatton3715 ... Oh yeah! "Jesus" has been helping so many things lately! Such as children getting shot in school, women dying from lack of proper reproductive healthcare, people being able to afford healthcare in general, societies around the world struggling not to fall into fascism (including the U.S.), countless huge humanitarian disasters from war and/or mega storms, endangerment/extinction of one species after another directly from human flagrancy, to name a few. So much freakin "help" coming from your fantasy friend "Jesus!"
@@davidguelette7036 She doesn't have the blonde braids...she acts like a villain. Mandates for thee but not for me. What a witch, still think she'll do you any good? you want the stimis and mandates? Cancel culture's authoritarian.
She makes Kamala Harris look ridiculously animated I see absolutely no passion a very robotic boring politician, how has this woman been catapulted to be President by so many?, she is giving me Krysten Sinema vibes don't know why, just is.
I'm not afraid to say this - Whitmer for 2024. Honest, capable and willing to stand up for our rights. We need a younger LEADER and she can get the job done!!
Whitmer appoints a campaign donor, Fey Bedoun, to a position that allows her to award $20M to a non-existent outfit, which she then creates so that she can receive the funds that she allocated. Buh buh buh Truuuuuuump!
@davidguelette7036 not sure but he's not being paid as a Senator to represent people either. But then again Trump isn't POTUS anymore but you'd never notice it listening to leftist fretting over him constantly
Outside of Detroit no one likes her. Just FYI. Kind of like NY and NYC here in Michigan we get saddled with the poor choices of the trash bags in Detroit
Comments in this section: 1.) some kind of name branched off of hers as to show displeasure toward her 2.) “Thank you Gov. Whitmer” 3.) more displeasure/hate comments What a joke haha
If you have a backordered part that you need for your domestic built American vehicle and you can’t get it and you’re making payments on a car you can’t drive you can blame Gretchen Whitmer. Me and my co-workers work in the nightmare she created every day.
@@NatashaMay10 Have you tried Googling this? She got $600 million for water improvement program for Flint, plus the EPA in 2022 gave them $100 million more for upgrades. Sounds like it has been addressed in a bipartisan way.
@Natasha Mayton she signed a $4.8 Billion dollar bill just for upgrading water infrastructure throughout the state. So not only Flint but communities throughout Michigan can prevent this from happening 😊
