Lawmaker from Detroit sues Whitmer, fellow Democrats over censure after she met with President Trump

2020-05-23

[MLIVE] State Rep. Karen Whitsett, D-bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
, filed a federal lawsuit Thursday against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

...Her Excellency, the dictator of Michigan, 2020 Dem VP contender...
and several fellow Democrats, claiming violations of free speech and defamation.

Specifically, Whitsett claimed Whitmer and the 13th Congressional District Democratic Party Organization sought to deprive her of her right to engage in protected speech after she publicly thanked President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
for his suggestion of using the drug hydroxychloroquine to treat her coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
case.

Whitsett contracted the virus in March and has been open about her appreciation for the president’s suggestion, which she says saved her life. While it remains unproven that hydroxychloroquine can effectively treat COVID-19, it is used to prevent malaria and to treat rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and complications of Lyme disease. Whitsett suffers from Lyme disease, and was aware hydroxychloroquine can be used to treat that disease, but didn’t know until the president mentioned it that it was being testing for use against COVID-19.

As a result, Whitsett was invited to The White House to meet with Trump on April 14. During that meeting, she again thanked Trump for the suggestion and said her condition went "from 0 to 100" after she began taking the drug.

Following that meeting, Whitsett began receiving criticism for her public statements and was eventually censured by the 13th Congressional District Democratic Party Organization. The organization took exception to her comments on the drug and the outbreak, saying they painted a picture that isn’t true and spreads misinformation.

Chris McClain, a precinct delegate for the organization who wrote the censure resolution, explained the decision to MLive last month, prior to censure vote.

"Her individual circumstance does not apply to everyone," McClain said. "She misrepresented a lot of the priorities and needs here of the community when she went to go meet with the president."

#1 What else could she expect from her fellow Democrats? Instead of filing a lawsuit that has little chance of winning, she should change her party affiliation.
