Michigan's outgoing Governor Gretchen Whitmer delivered what can only be described as a desperate damage control speech Wednesday night, attempting to rewrite history on her catastrophic reign over the once-great state of Michigan.
In her final State of the State address, "Big Gretch" - as she bizarrely refers to herself - tried to convince Michiganders that her administration's failures were actually "bipartisan achievements." The audacity is breathtaking, folks.
While Whitmer babbled about education, housing, and healthcare wins, she conveniently ignored the mass exodus of families fleeing Michigan's high taxes, declining schools, and liberal policies that have turned Detroit into a poster child for Democratic mismanagement.
The Real State of Whitmer's Michigan
Let's talk about the REAL state of Michigan after years of Whitmer's iron-fisted rule. This is the same governor who locked down small businesses while keeping big box stores open, destroyed countless family enterprises during COVID, and turned Michigan into a cautionary tale of government overreach.
Now she wants credit for "kitchen-table affordability issues"? What a joke. Ask Michigan families about affordability after Whitmer's policies drove up energy costs and chased businesses out of state.
"The swing state governor did not rail as hard as many Democrats," according to reports, suggesting even Whitmer knows the radical left agenda is toxic to real Americans.
This farewell tour speech reeks of a politician trying to salvage her national ambitions. Whitmer clearly has her eyes on higher office, but her record in Michigan tells the real story - and it's not pretty.
Patriots in Michigan deserve better than years of lockdown tyranny, economic destruction, and woke policies that put special interests ahead of working families. Thank God her reign of terror is finally ending.
The question now is: will Michigan voters learn from this disaster, or will they hand power to another Democrat who promises the same failed policies with a different face?
