Past Lives Matter.
Gretchen Whitmer. Tim Walz. Gavin Newsom. Andrew Cuomo.
These governors came to the national attention because of their response to Covid.
And their response says everything about their leadership styles.
Whitmer and Wolz lockdowns were complete and total.
The state constitutions were suspended.
Those who ignored their decrees were arrested.
This was all done, we were told, to save lives.
What happened was exactly the opposite.
The lockdowns were supposed to save the lives of the elderly virus most affected.
We knew that then, and we know that now.
Children were locked out of school, fell behind academically, and were crushed emotionally.
Businesses were devastated.
All this to protect grandma.
And yet in their great wisdom, Wolz and Whitmer ordered that infected elderly people to be herded into the same long-term care buildings as healthy seniors.
They cited “data and science” that did not exist.
It does now.
A recent study showed that such facilities had 73% percent higher death rate.
Minnesota suffered ~ 8,000 nursing home deaths, 52% of the state’s total — the worst in the nation…except Michigan.
We don’t know the true total here in the Wolverine State because the Whitmer administration never bothered to count, and never bothered to verify.
She claims ~ 7,000 such deaths But Michigan has nearly doubled the population of Minnesota.
The true deaths are probably nearer to 14000 by my estimate.
Much worse than Cuomo’s New York.
We need and deserve an investigation, but our attorney general promises we will never get one.
Politics played with the lives of people.
This election is as much about the past as it is the future.
We need leaders who understand their roles in a democratic republic.
