Watch: Whitmer Goes Off Like Joseph Stalin After Michigan Lawmakers Step In, ‘I’m Not Going To Sign Any Bill That Takes…’
After the announcement from Governor Whitmer that she is going to extend the stay at home order in Michigan until May 15th, lawmakers in the state have had enough.
A group of Michigan lawmakers from both chambers are fed up and they are stepping in to curb the totalitarian governor. When Whitmer found out and was asked about lawmakers’ plans she sounded like Joseph Stalin.
There are two ways Republicans are attacking Whitmer, first, they are going to pass bills that limit her authority, which would require her signature.
“I’m not going to sign any bill that takes authority away from me,” she gasps.
“Of course, I will veto bills that they send over to limit the executive power. I’ve been very clear about that from day one,” she said Thursday. “Those blatant power grabs are bad in good times and dangerous in times of crisis.”
Spoken like a true, brutish totalitarian.
“I’m not going to sign any bill that takes authority away from me,” she gasps.
The eloquent Michigan Gov. Whitmer, everyone.pic.twitter.com/WeF5d5ISuw

Lawmakers have one more trick up their sleeve, they are putting together a special oversight committee. Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield wrote, “The House & Senate will convene tomorrow to create a special oversight committee on COVID-19 to examine our government’s response. Michigan needs to handle this pandemic seriously yet properly. It’s what the people deserve, and we will see that it happens.”

Chatfield also noted that marijuana, lottery tickets, and alcohol have been declared “essential,” but lawn care, construction, and fishing in a motorized boat are nonessential.
