State Rep. Karen Whitsett, D-Detroit thanked President Donald Trump for saving her life when she took the President’s advice after falling ill with the Wuhan flu.
It was the President’s word that saved her life, she claimed.
“Thank you for everything that you have done,” she said.
But Whitsett’s colleagues are planning a payback –– Detroit Democrats are reportedly taking steps to censure her, according to The Detroit News.
She recovered from a virus that could’ve killed her, and the Democrats don’t care.
They only care that she thanked Trump.
You may remember Whitsett as a survivor of the Wuhan virus who publicly thanked Trump for raising awareness about the drug hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug that was briefly floated by healthcare officials as an experimental treatment for coronavirus (according to the latest study on Veterans Affairs patients diagnosed with COVID-19, indicated hydroxychloroquine may be ineffective on it’s own).
Whitsett was gravely ill and facing very few options, so she took the drug at the White House’s recommendation and recovered quickly.
She appeared on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle to talk about her recovery and thanked Trump — and the segment created a buzz around the political world.
Her televised Apr. 14. meeting with Trump and Vice President Mike Pence left the Democratic leaders furious.
Detroit News reports that the party will vote Saturday on a resolution to censure Whitsett.
“The admonition means she will not get the group’s endorsement for this year nor will she be able to engage in the group’s activities for the next two election cycles,” Beth LeBlanc wrote.
But Whitsett is standing by her words.
“I did not know that saying thank you had a political line, ” she said. “I’m telling my story and my truth, and this how I feel and these are my words.”
Democrats are basically kicking Whitsett out of the party for cooperating with Trump, GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has said.
And Trump quickly received news of the Democrats’ plans and invited Whitsett to the Republican Party.
Disgraceful. Should join the Republican Party! https://t.co/HMpXOEdgSA

In the time of a global pandemic, Democrats are once again proving that everything is still political.
Even the health and well-being of their own party members.
