Michigan Gov. Whitmer attempts to quell growing criticism after her husband dropped her name while trying to get his boat in the water for the Memorial Day Weekend. 'My husband made a failed attempt at humor,' Whitmer says.

Dowker has since deleted his Facebook post and the company, NorthShore Dock LLC, has deactivated its Facebook page.

During Tuesday's press conference, Whitmer blasted state Republicans — who pounced on reports about her husband's boat launch request — for egging on demonstrations and noted that her family has been subject to “rampant rumors and violent death threats.” “My husband did go up to our place in Antrim County, and raked some leaves and came home, so he was there,” she said. “We did not all pile in the car to go enjoy our second home, although that would have been permitted if we had.”

BFD. The world is on fire. JFC.

'My husband did go up to our place in Antrim County and raked some leaves ...'

The only joke is this person being governor of the great state of Michigan. She should be limited to one term. Also take the governors of Illinois and Wisconsin with them. Pritzker is an idiot!

Yeah right!

I pity the man

Sure, nothing that he is the typical hypocrite Karen. His wife is worts trying to undermine his stupidity. Of course MSM will run with her narrative because they “like” her and they must not speak truth about her.

Maybe Whitmer should call President Trump and get some advice on impeachment hearings. Looks like she is headed in that direction!

GovWhitmer nice try ding bat

Kinda like Pritzker wanting a reporter reprimanded after reporting his wife went to FLA? DoAsISayNotAsIDo

Much like Whitmers governance. Her craps not funny anymore.

Bradizpro yikes

Don't be an a-hole like Trump

Seriously? With all that’s going on in the world this is news?

If this is the worst thing that they can bitch about...

All these comedians...

Gretchen Whitmer said she censors herself when speaking publicly about President Trump in order to ensure continued federal assistance to her state amid the coronavirus pandemic. Gretchen's husband asked for special treatment to get their boat in the water after HER LOCKDOWN delayed it. Small business owner said, 'no queen's man, no special favors'.
