nor has she bothered to investigate her governor, gretchen whitmer, who like andrew cuomo is responsible home resident deaths. they have better things to do than stop murderers or figure out why elderly people are dying. she has instead marshaled the full force of the state to crush a single disobedient restaurant owner, a polish immigrant owner who we have had on the show. theiree crime was disobeying ste corona regulations, so last week, nessel had her handcuffed and arrested in a sting operation as she drove to work.t keep in mind there is no proof that she is responsible for a single covid infection. not one. no proof. but dana nessel sent her to jail anyway, and then issued a highly self-righteous press release writing that she dides it. she was released from jail yesterday, restaurant had been completely closed down. what is hard to imagine a more disproportional response than this, but for those who have watched dana nessel the past few years, it it is not a surprise. dana nessel is out of control. she is an ideologue who onlyro cares about parts and advantage and should be impeac

we have learned from recent reporting that michigan governor gretchen whitmer's office didn't force nursing homes to take covid positive patients but instead offered financial incentives. new york's governor andrew cuomo and his administration issued a directive telling nursing homes not to turn away covid positive patients and then allegedly covered up the number of deaths of nursing home or long-term care residents. pennsylvania governor tom wolf also reportedly guided covid positive patients back into nursing homes and at least 50% of deaths in pennsylvania were reportedly in connection of those facilities. his health secretary, biden appointee at the federal level, took her mother out of one of the homes just as the pennsylvania policy was gaining speed. california officials admitted it was possible they were undercounting the number of nursing home deaths due to covid. all these democratic governors deny wrongdoing. murphy's office is trying to lay the blame on nursing homes saying they should have done more to create separate wings, to monitor caregivers or notify the state that they
