Whitmer Disrespects the Eucharist, Insults Catholics
The latest disrespect for the Eucharist comes from Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer who, in an online video posting, appears to mock receiving Communion.
The Wolverine State Democrat is shown standing with a bag of Doritos, feeding one to a social media “influencer,” Liz Plank, who kneels before the governor, opens her mouth, and receives a chip on the tongue. The camera then pans back to Whitmer with the Doritos bag, wearing a Harris-Walz cap.
Whitmer has since denied any intention of defaming the Eucharist or insulting Catholics, and she offered an apology. She explained the stunt—and her praetorian votaries defend it—as some sort of contemporary “social media challenge” of feeding somebody and that the Doritos were an allusion to the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, one of the signature achievements of the Biden-Harris Administration which Whitmer claims to have wanted to showcase for its job-producing benefits for swing state Michigan.
I hope Catholics recognize when they are being gaslighted.
