The whataboutism is so tiresome. People can hate this and think it’s embarrassing, awful behavior to see in a sitting governor and also simultaneously despise JD Vance. You may think that Democratic politicians are perfect people, better than the rest of us, who should never, ever be criticized, but that’s because you are a cultist. Ironically, the insistence that this is totally normal behavior and not weird is doing a lot more to make people believe diehard Democrats are bizarre cultists than just a simple acknowledgment that it was bad behavior.

Oh come on, don't play dumb. It's obvious this was mocking receiving Holy Communion, with the woman on her knees receiving a chip on her tongue from Whitmer.

Ok, so??? Who cares? IDGAF if christians or catholics or whatever evangelical nutters find it offensive and get their feelings hurt. F’ those people. They’re trying to control MY body, and don’t see how offensive THAT is - but they’re going whine about making fun of their stupid little voodoo cannibalism magic ceremonies? Seriously??????

F’ these people. F’ them. They are irrelevant in modern society. The sooner we all acknowledge that and stop empowering them with the deference we extend to them, the sooner they will lose whatever little power they still wield.


Don’t apologize or pretend it’s not making fun of them. LAUGH AT THEM.

Oh my. This is quite unhinged.

It's a troll

I am NOT a troll! I’m sick of us all having to tiptoe around religious lunatics for fear of offending them. Do you not understand that?

These people are nuts. Period. Full stop. They have a ceremony where they EAT crackers that are supposed to be little pieces of their god. And the rest of us are just supposed to do what? Pretend this is normal and just go on with life and then let these same people tell us we don’t have bodily autonomy?

These crazy people are the base of the republican party. They are the base of the conservative movement. And they are crazy AF.

Laugh at them. Ridicule them. Mock them. Make fun of them. They only hold power because ordinary regular sane people don’t call them crazy.

People like this are exactly one of the reasons Trump will end up in the White House again.

Yes, because they are trolls

How are they sick? What about this video offends you?

They are sick because they clearly get their jollies by purposefully doing something that they know will upset a lot of people.

I am not Catholic. I am an evangelical Christian and yes, this offends me. It makes a mockery of the sanctity of Communion, which was Jesus shedding his body and blood for our sins.

How does it mock communion?

Are you honestly so stupid/ irreligious/ clueless that you can't understand that? Do you even know what Communion is? Have you ever been to church in your life?

I don't know what to say to people like you. You keep asking "why" it is offensive. If you can't see that these idiots are mocking a religious sacrament, then I don't know what to tell you. I think you're being purposefully dense.

If you can't articulate why it is offensive, then we cannot take your complaints seriously.

It is mocking the sacrament of holy communion. I don’t know how else we can dumb it down for you.

I’m not MAGA. This is just a really, really stupid unforced error and deeply offensive to devout Christians.

There is no such thing as a devout Christian who is MAGA, so why preface your comment with that?

Lighten up Frances. I’m a devout Catholic and thought it was hilarious. We used to play act communion when I was growing up. Doritos are addictive and delicious.

What was "hilarious" about it? No one will answer that?

And a child "play acting communion" is very different than a 50-something year old grown woman doing it. Is that really what your defense of this is? The governor of the state of Michigan "plays" like a 5 year old?

I think the people claiming it is “hilarious” must be Democratic Party comms staffers desperately trying to salvage the situation. It is obviously just stupid, and not remotely hilarious.

What it is is embarrassing for Michigan. Their governor acts like a little kid? Has another woman on her knees in front of her and is weirdly feeding her? It’s weird.

It's beyond weird but not surprising that certain groups of people like what she did.

I don't care if you take them seriously or not. I'm telling you it is offensive to people like me, and is - as another poster stated - a huge unforced error for a campaign that is already hopelessly out of touch.

Nope. We know you’re not offended. You’re excited! This makes you giddy. You think you’ve caught the other side doing something bad, and you could not be happier. That’s why you keep posting the same clip over and over. You enjoy watching it.

Unfortunately for you, no one else is offended. Please try harder.

Wanna bet?

My religion forbids gambling. ARE YOU MOCKING ME?!???!?

Forbidding gambling is not a rite or sacramental act. Clearly you don’t understand.

+1 exactly and well said

I think it's rather interesting that people who are most offended by this, defend a foreign country where Christians get regularly spit on, bombed one of the oldest churches in Christendom and think Jesus is boiling in excrement.

What does the video have to do with Vance?

But the right wing media is doing a good job of getting people angry who DGAF about Trump literally bragging about grabbing pussy.

Nobody cares, huh? The Catholic League sure cares and is using it to mobilize church goers this weekend and is putting this blasphemy into ads as we speak:

GOV. WHITMER MOCKS THE EUCHARIST
by Bill Donohue

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer insulted Catholics nationwide when she intentionally ridiculed the Eucharist in a video.

The short video was posted by podcaster Liz Plank on her Instagram account. Whitmer, who is wearing a Harris-Walz hat, is standing above Plank, who is kneeling in front of her. Plank opens her mouth and Whitmer places a Dorito chip on her tongue, mocking the Eucharist. Whitmer is shown staring into the camera with a blank look on her face.

There is no way to understand this stunt other than as an expression of vintage anti-Catholic bigotry. Whitmer’s team, and her allies in the media, are trying to distort what she did. They are saying she was merely mimicking a popular trend on social media where people are shown feeding each other. Some apologists even say this is being done to support the CHIPS Act, a bill that supports the semiconductor industry.

This is a lie, and it is easy to disprove.

There are indeed many clips of people feeding each other on social media, but there is no reference to the CHIPS Act, nor are they eating chips. The typical video on Tik Tok shows one person sitting at a table, often in a restaurant, being fed—usually with a fork or spoon—by a friend.

None of them are kneeling. None of them are receiving food on the tongue.

What Whitmer did was to deride Holy Communion. There is no wiggle room for her to deny the obvious.

We are pulling out all the stops on this one. In addition to our big list of email subscribers, the Catholic League staff will send this news release to every Catholic parish in Michigan. We will blanket the Michigan media. We will contact every member of the Michigan legislature. We will also feature her stunt on the front page of the November issue of our monthly journal, Catalyst.

What Whitmer did is political suicide.
