Michigan’s Governor is looking and sounding more and more like that “Nasty” Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico. All she does is attack President Trump while her state is in turmoil.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been at odds with President Trump and making the rounds on the talk shows, reportedly because she’s campaigning for Biden’s VP spot. Meanwhile, she neglected to file proper FEMA paperwork for the state and now the unemployment website has crashed.
She even made a T-shirt out of a phrase that Trump used – the same way San Juan’s mayor did. It’s an odd and uncalled for self-serving PR stunt at a time when nobody is interested in this silly showboating.
Citizens are furious and are telling the incompetent governor to “fix the damn site.”
State officials have asked Michiganders to be patient as they try to make adjustments to an unemployment system that is overwhelmed, but, as Michigan’s public health crisis turns into an economic one, patience is running out.
Kathy Mooradian said Wednesday, she had enough.
After days of trying to file for unemployment online, then all day trying to call in her claim, she concluded in a fit of frustration, “our governor doesn’t give a hoot about any of us.”
Labor officials respond that it’s not a matter of indifference, it’s the situation. Michigan’s unemployment claims ending March 28 topped 311,000, more than doubling from 128,000 the week before.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer cares deeply and help is on the way, state officials said. Unfortunately, the system is overwhelmed and everyone is in a position that they never anticipated.
Whitmer briefly talked Thursday morning about the challenges with the unemployment claims, saying, that her stay-at-home order has “weighed heavily” on her and acknowledged that the system is overwhelmed. [Detroit Free Press]

The site had been operating at a slow and absurd crawl for quite sometime before it finally crashed on Tuesday. It was down for a whopping two hours.
The system was not able to handle the log-ins.
Why is that?
Did these people not realize that the entire country is shut down and millions have lost their jobs?
Whitmer shut Michigan down two weeks ago – don’t you think she’d realize that a lot of people would need to apply for benefits and she would have had the site ready?
That’s what a good leader who was focused on the tasks at hand would do.
But this incompetent woman is too busy auditioning for Biden’s VP and the people of Michigan are suffering because of it.
