Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, always eager to make headlines, just crossed a line that many Catholics—and conservatives across America—will never forget. A video circulating on social media shows Whitmer feeding a Dorito to a kneeling podcast host, Liz Plank, while wearing a Harris/Walz campaign hat. Whitmer thought this little stunt was cute, but to those of us who hold our faith dear, it was a slap in the face. How could she think this was appropriate? This is yet another example of the tone-deaf, self-absorbed behavior we’ve come to expect from Democrats.
Let’s be clear what’s happening in this video.
Gov. Whitmer of Michigan is pretending to give communion to an leftist podcaster on her knees, using a Dorito as the Eucharist while wearing a Harris-Walz hat.
Do they want ZERO Catholic votes for Harris?pic.twitter.com/daUTNX9vNn

Mocking the Eucharist: Disrespect at Its Worst
The Eucharist is a sacred sacrament in Catholicism—it’s not a political prop or a punchline for social media clout. But here we have Whitmer, smirking for the camera as she feeds a Dorito to Plank in a scene that many Catholics recognized immediately as a mockery of the sacrament of Holy Communion. It’s an act that shows her utter disregard for the faith and the beliefs of millions.
For those unfamiliar, the Eucharist represents the body of Christ, a profound symbol of our faith. The imagery of kneeling to receive a host is a pivotal moment in Catholic Mass, symbolizing humility and reverence. Whitmer’s parody with a Dorito is not just some light-hearted video—it’s a disgraceful display of ignorance and arrogance, using a religious ritual as a gimmick.
Whitmer’s Disregard for Catholics—A Pattern, Not a One-Off
This isn’t the first time Whitmer has been accused of showing disdain for religious groups. Throughout her political career, she’s pandered to the far-left, shunning traditional values and leaning into divisive tactics to win over the “woke” crowd. But this time, she went too far. This video comes across as a deliberate insult, an intentional slight aimed at the very people she claims to serve as governor.
Even CatholicVote, an advocacy group for Catholics, was quick to condemn this act, demanding an apology from Whitmer. Brian Burch, the group’s president, did not mince words: “Catholics demand an immediate apology for Gretchen Whitmer’s offensive display that mocks what is most sacred to Catholics.” And he’s absolutely right. This was not some harmless joke. It’s a continuation of the Democrats’ broader pattern of mocking those who hold religious values—people they can’t control or sway with their so-called “progressive” agenda.
A Distraction from Real Issues—The Democrat Playbook
Let’s call this what it is—a distraction. Whitmer’s team even tried to pass off this disgraceful act as part of a TikTok trend. They think we’re all too stupid to see through this shameless excuse. Sure, they want us to believe this has “absolutely nothing to do with Catholicism,” but anyone watching the video knows better. Just like every other time the Democrats have been caught, they try to play it off as a joke or a trend.
Why is Whitmer playing these games instead of addressing real issues facing Michigan? The state has seen economic struggles, challenges in education, and ongoing debates about safety and crime, yet she finds time to pull this stunt? It’s classic Democratic deflection—ignore the real issues, throw a flashy video on social media, and hope people forget what actually matters.
No Respect for Faithful Americans—Where’s the Accountability?
What’s most outrageous about this situation is that Whitmer thinks she can get away with it. The Democrats have shown time and time again that they have zero respect for people of faith. They see religious beliefs as something to scoff at, something that doesn’t align with their agenda. They think they can attack or ridicule people who don’t bend to their views, without facing any consequences.
And where is the mainstream media on this? As usual, they’re nowhere to be found. If this were a Republican governor mocking another religion, you can bet it would be front-page news for weeks. But because it’s Whitmer—one of the left’s darlings—they brush it off or, worse, defend it as harmless fun.
Democrats Like Whitmer Are Alienating Catholics
This isn’t just about a single video—it’s about the larger message it sends. The Democrats are so far removed from the values that most Americans hold dear, especially those of faith. With each passing day, it becomes more apparent that they don’t care about alienating religious voters, as long as they can appease the loud voices of their progressive base.
In 2024, Democrats like Whitmer will try to sell Kamala Harris as the candidate who’s tough enough to lead, who can stand up to global bullies like Vladimir Putin and Chinese leadership. But how can anyone trust a party that treats the beliefs of millions with such casual contempt? How can they lead with integrity when they so readily demean what is sacred to many?
Final Thoughts: Enough Is Enough
It’s time to hold Gretchen Whitmer and her fellow Democrats accountable for their actions. We deserve better than leaders who disrespect our beliefs and then try to pass it off as some TikTok trend. It’s clear that Whitmer doesn’t understand or care about the people she governs, especially those who hold their faith close to their hearts. Her actions are beneath the dignity of her office and show a lack of respect for the very people she claims to represent.
WE’D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS! PLEASE COMMENT BELOW.

I recently read a comment about Widmer that talked about her previously working
for George Soros. Please find out and dig deeper into the Creeps of Democratic Party.
I learned a long time ago that The Truth will always set you Free. So my standard bearer
has always been “To Thine Own Self Be True.” Keep digging my Friends.
Sorry I spelled her name Wrong its Witmer not Widmer. Tough when you get older than most.
Sorry
Oh my God I forgot the H too Sorry its Whitmer. I must be really old Sorry. I’ll pay more attention in the Future.
Sad and people will vote for them over and over again.
She is obviously as dumb as Harris.
Her arrogance and ignorance of why she was elected by the obviously misinformed and misguided people of Michigan was demonstrated before on how she handled the COVID pandemic. She is a clueless arrogant political hack who has only her love of power and control. Wake up Michigan!
Is it not really Sad that a really stupid female Leader of one of the 50 states is so un aware of how much her actions affect one out of five people in the USA. The Bishops of the Catholic Church should protest at the Governors home until she is SHAMED into an APPERANCE on prime time tv for the insane disrespectful so called prank, but she WILL never do that. JUST VOTE HER ASS OUT OF OFFICE
Not a normal politician alienating a large Catholic voting public. But she represents the Marxist Democrats who are not normal.
She is despicable and this commercial is disgusting. I doubt they would be making this kind of stupid commercial using any other non-Christian religion. All Hell would break loose.
It’s time Gretchen Whitmer and her fellow Democrats are held accountable for their actions. Whitmer doesn’t have the guts to make fun of the Muslim religion. Whitmer knows they would KILL! her in a heartbeat. It’s part of Sharia law in the Muslim faith. I would LOVE!! to ask her to her face why she doesn’t make fun of or criticize the Muslim women who have to cover their heads or their entire bodies if their husbands tell them to or they pay the price. Whitmer’s a typical Left-wing coward.
Has Whitmer apologized or explained this yet? This is perverted and demeaning to Catholics. No catholic should support Harris.
Let’s take it easy on Gretchen. She is a great example of the type politicians I discuss in the lessons learned presented below. Soldier/Cop, Retired
RAPE, PILLAGE, PLUNDER; AMERICA YOU’VE BEEN HAD!
My fellow Americans, as an 81 year old soldier/cop serving primarily in counter-terrorism/community security activities throughout most of my 60 year plus career (started when I joined army while Eisenhower was in office) I have been trying since 1980 to make each of you aware of the primary threats to your way of life. I have asked Americans over and over again what will it take for you to stand up and take back those rights given to you by God and promised to be respected/protected by our founding fathers when they drafted the Constitution? From what I see/hear/feel each and everyday since Joe Biden stole the presidency I must admit to the American people that I have failed in my oaths as a soldier and cop to protect the American people from all of their enemies!
Now, In consideration of all of the corruption/incompetence/treachery/etc., coming forth under the brightest light ever thanks to the Biden/Harris administration and their bosses/supporters here and around the world, I am just asking where most of you Americans stand in regards to your rights/roles/duties as citizens.
Seems the arrival of Donald J. Trump followed by Biden’s assumption of the Presidency has stripped us all naked to expose not only the sores on our bodies, but those on our souls as well!
The lessons learned I am passing on to you may give you a glimpse into the inner world of a government that devotes most of its time/energy ruling you versus serving/protecting you from the vantage point of one who served in government from the municipal through the federal level as a soldier and cop.
Most of the lessons learned (Note: After the Biden/Harris administration’s performance to date in dealing with hurricanes Helene and Milton I have only included those lessons learned most relevant to the current situation) were originally drafted in the late eighties as the prelude to a book titled: ‘Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America, You’ve Been Had!’ The Department of Defense denied permission to publish the book in that they classified an investigation detailed therein that named a gaggle of politicians and bureaucrats at every level of government as subjects. Three of those subjects went on to be elected to the office of President of the United States of America!
A SOLDIER/COP’S LESSONS LEARNED
*The end goal of the World/American elites and their minions is not (nor ever has been) socialism, communism, fascism, or capitalism. The elites of the World/America and their minions have used all manner of ideologies, religions, terrorism, wars, etc., to drive the masses/peasants/serfs/whoever/whomever/whatever in one direction. That direction leads to one of the oldest forms of human control ever employed in the history of mankind. That form of human control is; “FEUDALISM!”
* The ‘Seven C’s of Leadership’ according to a survey of Vietnam era ground combat veterans listed of the order of their importance to the veterans are; Candor, Competence, Consistency, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, and Courtesy. The reason the veterans chose “Candor” first and foremost, is because candor encompasses both omission and co-mission. To a combat veteran the lack of absolute candor, be it co-mission or omission, are equal sins! It has been my observation that, democrats are masters of co-mission while republicans are masters of omission!
*The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to the political class, the bureaucracy, the media, and academia.
*The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the so-called media.
*The second greatest threat to the American people is that presented by radical Muslims bent on ridding the world of non-believers, installing Sharia as the only law of the land, and Islam as the world’s only religion. Note: For all of you non-Muslims who think you support Islam I strongly suggest you carefully study the game plan supposedly first presented by Mohammad (The Prophet) in the early 600’s and the current socialization/cultural practices of the current Iranian government. I submit unless you are a sadistic male you will not enjoy life as a Muslim.
*Most of the politicians/bureaucrats/academicians/media types I have encountered during my years as a soldier and a cop I currently refer to as; self-serving, witless, corrupt, incompetent, cowards. Prior to retiring to the deep woods I referred to most of the before mentioned folks as self-serving, witless, corrupt, incompetent, cowardly, piss-ants. After retiring to the deep woods I came to know that piss-ants are neither self-serving nor witless, and certainly not cowards!
*The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and ‘most especially’ domestic.
*There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
*American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs, and their vision and hearing impaired 50% or more.
*After carefully watching the whole of the political class for many years I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power.
*Want to see what the United States of America will look like if the left/progressives take total control of the government? Take your pick, New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, Portland, or the complete packages; California, New York, Illinois, etc, etc, etc…..!
*If the so-called ‘progressive movement’ continues unchecked a number of able veterans/soldiers/cops are going to be presented with a challenge/decision. Are the American people worth another drop of our sweat and/or our blood?
*Arrogance coupled with ignorance equals stupidity.
Have a nice day,
Soldier/Cop,Retired
Satan’s whore mimicking a Christian Communion in an ad to be viewed by millions if not billions.
You nailed it with whore. At least she is better looking than Hairass but just as slutty. It is about all either one is good for and not really good for that either.
Pathetic, sick evil, dumbocrap witch.
Remember people hold Dems accountable then the Reps will also have to held accountable.
This was really dumb of her but I can think of a lot of stuff the Reps have done to downgrade me so it kind of washing or should wash but instead the bullets get bigger. This is how WARS start.
Trump will destroy the USA completely and it will probably never come back We wiil be broke with no roads not power no medical that anyone can even come close to being able to afford. and no selfrespect or world respect anymore other then the Dictators of the world.
You just made a perfect description of what will happen if sheeple like you elect Hairass and other democRATs. Anybody with half a brain and no blind ingrained bias can see we as a nation and the world was better off after 4 years of Trump’s presidency while the opposit can be proven for the time Bidung and Hairass have been in charge.
Trump was already our president for 4 beautiful years …his fabulous record speaks for itself….Peace around the world……gas and food prices lower for ALL Americans… and a secure border which keeps our country and its citizens much safer …..you have to be brain dead to vote for anyone else !!!!
