Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer Team Up for Cringeworthy Video Congratulating Each Other for How They Handled the Pandemic

California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer are apparently big fans of each other, not to mention themselves.

The two recently joined forces to make a video where they talk about how well each of them handled the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gretchen Whitmer has already said that she is not running for president in 2028, but that doesn’t preclude her from being selected to be someone’s running mate. Is that what we’re seeing here? Is this a preview?

Check out this clip, via RNC Research:

NEWSOM: What did you make of Fauci and all that?

WHITMER: “I feel bad for him, ya know?…people were trying to do the right thing with the information we had…”

Here’s another, also from RNC Research:

Gretchen Whitmer says she and Gavin Newsom did the “right thing” by locking down their states during COVID.

WHITMER: “Everyone was so pissed off that I pulled kids out of school.”

NEWSOM: “Yes.”

WHITMER: “We were doing what we thought was the right thing to do at the time.”

Everyone remembers what these people did.

Gavin Newsom was dining at the French Laundry while Gretchen Whitmer was banning people from buying seeds to grow their own food.

These people are trying to rewrite the record of history for their own political ends.

It couldn’t be more obvious.
