Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) tells NBC News White House Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez that people in her state feel “pain” over the war between Israel and Hamas, and that an effort to protest President Biden could hit 10,000 votes. She tells NBC News that she supports President Biden’s efforts on immigration and reproductive rights.

Solving a border problem this adminstation created is Republicans fault? Wow. Democrat logic is amazing

[@24Wynn]

Listen. Senator Democrats and Senator Republicans wrote a bipartisan bill in regards to securing our southern border and giving military aid to Ukraine. Republicans in Congress came close to signing it but trump contacted Mike Johnson and told them not to sign it so he could run on it as a wedge issue. Try to get that through your head.

[@24Wynn]

The Biden Administration didn't create this border crisis. There were more immigrants coming in during Trump's Administration. The border has been this way for the past 40 years. Finally, a Democratic president was willing to write a border bill with the help of Senate Dems and Senate Repubs. The problem is trump, again. Right before both sides were going to sign it, trump told MAGAt Mike Johnson to not sign it so the Malignant Narcissist can use the border as a wedge issue to fear monger people like you to vote for him. It is the Republicans fault. Democrats gave away a lot of concessions for Republicans to help pass a bipartisan bill. They killed their own bill and said that it had too much pork in it. Which wasn't true. The border bill also had Ukraine military aid in it. Mike Johnson knows that Republicans are stupid so when Senate Democrats tried to pass the Ukraine funding, he said No and said at the press hearing that the House will not sign the Ukraine bill without a border bill. We made an agreement with Ukraine in 1994 that if the got rid of their nuclear weapons, we would come to their aid if Russia ever attacked them. And now the others countries are looking down on us just because trump and MAGAT House members are all in for Putin. Putin is not Americans friend. He has been trying to break America up from the inside out. So get a clue and learn our history. If Ukraine loses, there will be boots on the ground. Putin will attack Poland next and they are a NATO ally.

She managed Covid so much better than trump did. She saved many people living in Michigan there lives.
