Gretchen Whitmer responds to calls by some Democrats to vote āuncommittedā in Michiganās 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.
āItās important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote thatās not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term,ā she said on Sunday during an interview on CNNās State of the Union. āA 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.ā
Whitmer, who is a co-chair of Bidenās 2024 campaign, also said she wasnāt 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 āuncommittedā in Michiganās 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 doesnāt mean we have to help them.
Listen to yourself sometime. Weāre talking about genocide here. If ever there was something that is clearly morally wrong in all cases, itās genocide. Biden should stop supporting Netanyahuās genocide.
Youāre so clueless I canāt believe I ever bothered engaging with such a child. Grow the fuck up.
And since you canāt justify support for genocide, you go for the Standard Centrist Dismissal.
You should stop supporting genocide.
