Gretchen Whitmer responds to calls by some Democrats to vote ‘uncommitted’ in Michigan’s primary on Tuesday
Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan governor, pushed back on calls to not vote for Joe Biden over his handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, saying on Sunday that could help Trump get re-elected.
“It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote that’s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term,” she said on Sunday during an interview on CNN’s State of the Union. “A second Trump term would be devastating. Not just on fundamental rights, not just on our democracy here at home, but also when it comes to foreign policy. This was a man who promoted a Muslim ban.”
Whitmer, who is a co-chair of Biden’s 2024 campaign, also said she wasn’t sure what to expect when it came to the protest vote.
Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat who is the only Palestinian-American serving in Congress, urged Democrats last week to vote “uncommitted” in Michigan’s 27 February primary.
He sold them weapons that he knew would be used for genocide. His tepid criticism is literally the words of a politician. His actions are clear.
Selling them weapons is support.
That doesn’t mean we have to help them.
Listen to yourself sometime. We’re talking about genocide here. If ever there was something that is clearly morally wrong in all cases, it’s genocide. Biden should stop supporting Netanyahu’s genocide.
You’re so clueless I can’t believe I ever bothered engaging with such a child. Grow the fuck up.
And since you can’t justify support for genocide, you go for the Standard Centrist Dismissal.
You should stop supporting genocide.
