Half-Whitmer criticized President Trump’s border wall, but when it comes to her sorry ass ……
Whitmer builds security wall around the governor’s mansion despite history criticizing Trump for border wall
By: Emma Colton, Washington Examiner | September 09, 2020:
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s current home is getting an 8-foot-tall wall built around it and other security updates, leaving taxpayers with a $1.1 million bill.
Story continues below advertisementThe wall would help “ensure the safety, security, and protection of any sitting governor and the first family,” according to the governor’s office.
The government-owned home is receiving the increased security due to threats Whitmer has received in recent months.
Despite the new wall and electrified fence, the Democratic governor has a history of denouncing President Trump’s wall along the southern border, calling it “costly and ineffective” back in 2017.
“$40 BILLION for the wall,” Whitmer tweeted at the time. “Think how many kids that would educate, how many roads, bridges and pipes it would fix.”
Michigan became a hotbed of controversy because of Whitmer’s extended stay-at-home orders earlier this year. Protests to reopen formed in Lansing in the spring, including one protest in which people carrying rifles and other long guns gathered in the House chamber and shouted at legislators.
In April, thousands of protesters also flooded the state’s capital in their cars while flying “Trump 2020” and American flags to protest coronavirus-focused restrictions they said are excessive.

Silly you….those rules are not meant for the elite. Besides that how are orders a LAW? They are not, they are only suggestions so how can they fine anyone?

Good point! Why can’t the drones all walking around with masks in CA understand that point.

Michigan is one of only two states, that legally allow openly carrying firearms on the state capitol grounds, even inside the legislature.
Funny, it’s illegal to carry a concealed weapon or a sign … but open carry is perfectly legal.

I wonder if Barry and Michael hired the fence company that I worked for in high school and college. Their motto was “Our Poles Go In Deeper And Stay Up Longer”. Just the way Barry and Michael like their “poles”….

Not all the electorate here in Michigan is ‘stupid’.
Whitmer won 13 of 83 counties. All of them the larger cities. It’s the people in the larger cities that tend to vote Democrat.

That is what I do not quite understand. Did the legislature approve this or does she have the right to just do it?

Wretched Gretchen, builder of high electrified walls. Sounds positively Communist.
What a hypocrite, like her fellow Dem-autocrats.
Witless Whitmer, “Tear down that wall!”
Million + dollars of public money to build for her safety and family security. How many family-home security systems, and protective fences (against racist BLM and violent ANTIFA Democrat street activist thugs) could that pay for?

If “walls don’t work”, why do so many overpriveleged commiecrats rely on them for their personal safety?
Deep down inside but without admitting it, they are also more in line with gun owners than you might suspect.
It is better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.
Be safe, be trained, be alert.

People need to see this clearly. she is ensuring the safety, security, and protection of Governors at the expense of the people; when her job is ensuring the safety, security and protection of the public by her acts as Governor.

WE don’t need no stinkin wall around our homes when WE have Smith + Wesson or Ruger or Colt or Glock or fill in the blank…..!

Right! When Peter sliced off the guard’s ear, Jesus just told him to put his sword up, He didn’t say to get rid of it. He also told the apostles, who would be facing many dangers, that if they did not have a sword, to sell their cloak and buy one.

Agreed. Besides a “Property protected by Glock” sign on my front gate, I also have one with a set of crosshairs that reads, “If you can read this, you are within range”, home decor even Martha Stewart didn’t imagine.

And regular Americans understand this to be harmless to them but meant for miscreant criminals. and take no offense.
But to Far-Left Dems those type warning memos signify a dangerous extremist and should be Red Flagged.

They have that old double standard, don’t they?
Don’t do as I do, do as I say!
It never fails with the democrats. They don’t give a blast about what happens to anyone else and that includes other democrats, POC, BLM, or anyone of any age. But when something touches them, it becomes a different story and you see their sorry a$$ running scared. But once she gets all the new equipment set up and an 8 foot electrified fence, she’ll be back to encouraging them to keep going strong. Gee I wonder if a male dog lifted his leg and hit the fence, would sparks fly? If so, I can imagine how she’d be running throughout the house, scared s***less. lol
BTW, if her house isn’t brick, it could still be burned down and those rioters do love fire. She better think twice about who she encourages to do what…

Its always a different story when a Dem comes to protecting their own behind. This is just another example, and look who ends up paying the toll.
