A threat against our Governor is a threat against us all. We condemn those who plotted against her and our government. They are not patriots. There is no honor in their actions. They are criminals and traitors, and they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

If it seems like @GovWhitmer has signed an extraordinary number of confusing and oftentimes conflicting orders during this crisis, it's because she has. https://t.co/4vfRG2DQmC

I do NOT support a statewide mask mandate. I do encourage everyone to honor whatever policies individual businesses, organizations and schools establish. #MILeg #MIGov
Fear is a powerful motivator that can be abused. It appears @GovWhitmer and Dr. Khaldun sought to capitalize on the tragic death of this baby to frighten Michiganders. They should apologize to this grieving family, and seek to motivate with honesty and openness instead of fear. https://t.co/bxlZ7IYy5b
As I've repeatedly said, our election process MUST be free of intimidation and threats. Whether the Board of Canvassers certifies our results tomorrow or decides to take the full time allowed by law to perform their duties, it's inappropriate for anyone to exert pressure on them.
