Peter Lucido, the Macomb County prosecutor, told WXYZ.com that he is limited say6s that Gretchen Whitmer could face criminal charges if it can be proven that she acted with “willful neglect of office” or “reckless endangerment of a person’s life.”
Whitmer’s office says that blaming her for the people she killed is purely political. But, although insanely stupid, I don’t know if it is criminal.
Common sense should tell you that you should never send someone contagious into nursing homes when the elderly and the infirm are the ones who are at the most risk.
But relax, I am not accusing Whitmer of common sense. Far from it. You know it comes down to intelligence. That’s why Democrats sent COVID patients to nursing homes and Republicans did not.
In NY alone over 15,000 people in nursing homes died.
Her office issued a statement to WXYZ:
“The administration’s policies carefully tracked CDC guidance on nursing homes, and we prioritized testing of nursing home residents and staff to save lives. Early in the pandemic, the state acted swiftly to create a network of regional hubs with isolation units and adequate PPE to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within a facility. In addition, we have offered 100 percent of nursing home resident priority access to the vaccine. Both the former head of AARP, as well as an independent U-M study, praised our work to save lives in nursing homes.”
Being able to back yourself up by saying two far-left sources back you up seems pretty disingenuous to me.
People who had loved ones in nursing homes who may have died could make a good case against reelecting Whitmer for her insane lockdowns and policies.
She told CNN on Sunday that her state “released an incredible amount of data. We have followed the federal requirements. Every step of the way.”
Last week, Charlie LeDuff, an investigative journalist from the state, told Fox News that he is suing the state’s Democrat governor after trying to for months to get answers on COVID-19-related deaths tied to nursing homes.
“You can’t get them. I’ve been asking for months,” he said.
Dana Nessel, the state’s attorney general, is reportedly looking into the state’s “nursing home policies,” according to ClickonDetroit.com.
