Oh, the Democrats are at it again—this time, Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer seems determined to insult a whole swath of voters just weeks before Election Day. In a video clip posted to Instagram, Whitmer is seen mocking the Holy Eucharist, the sacred Catholic sacrament, during an appearance on a podcast. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the Democrats have been radio silent on the whole issue. But, of course, if you’re expecting any self-awareness from this crowd, you’ll be waiting a long time.
The video, shared by podcaster Liz Plank, features Whitmer playing along in a bizarre skit that mimics the act of Communion but with, you guessed it, potato chips. According to RedState’s Jennifer Van Laar, it’s not just weird—it’s downright offensive. Plank’s caption reads, “If he won’t, Gretchen Whitmer will,” referencing the CHIPS Act and somehow, in true leftist fashion, tying it all back to Donald Trump. Because, naturally, the Democrats just can’t help themselves. It’s always about Trump, even when they’re desecrating a religious rite to make a point about semiconductors.
NEW: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer feeds a chip to a begging liberal podcaster on her knees in an effort to get more votes for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

And here’s the kicker: while Whitmer is making a fool of herself, where are all the so-called devout Catholic Democrats like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi? Not a word from either of them. Biden is too busy pretending to handle hurricane relief efforts, and Pelosi is off on her book tour. Their silence says a lot—like maybe they’re too afraid to criticize one of their own, even when she’s out here alienating a key demographic.
But it’s not just the Democratic leaders who are avoiding the topic. The mainstream media, predictably, has no interest in covering the story. Why? Because they know it looks bad for Whitmer and the party that supposedly stands for inclusivity and tolerance—except, it seems when it comes to Christians. If they bothered to report on it, it might hurt the Democrats’ standing in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, where Catholic voters could be the tipping point in tight Senate races. As journalist Salena Zito put it, “Catholics in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have words.” You better believe they do.

Let’s remember that the Democrats once relied on the Catholic vote. But now? They’ve thrown their lot in with the extreme left, turning their backs on the values of so many hardworking, faith-driven Americans. If they think they can keep offending voters and still win elections, they might be in for a rude awakening. Whitmer’s antics might play well with her coastal base, but it’s a different story in the Midwest.
How else can this be interpreted other than mockery of Catholics and the sacrament of Holy Communion, not to mention the distasteful pornographic innuendo? Gretchen Whitmer is only the latest example of the gross anti-Catholic bigotry festering inside the Democratic Party. pic.twitter.com/KG1BmHYkJM

And, of course, Whitmer’s team tried to laugh it off, claiming that “the governor’s social media is well known for infusing her communications with pop culture.” Yeah, sure, because nothing says “pop culture” quite like taking cheap shots at people’s religious beliefs. But it’s clear that they think they’re above criticism—especially from those pesky Midwestern voters who still take their faith seriously.
JD Vance made a joke about how many eggs his kids eat daily and it was literally news for two days.
Gretchen Whitmer puts a video out of her mocking Holy Communion in a very sexualized manner and not a single “mainstream” news outlet has mentioned it.
Amazing.

As James Gagliano pointed out, Whitmer would never dare to mock another religion like this. And he’s right. The left knows it can get away with these kinds of stunts because they assume Christians won’t riot or cause chaos in the streets. But what they don’t seem to realize is that Christians will show up at the ballot box. And after this latest display, they’ll have all the more reason to vote for the party that actually respects their beliefs.
So, Michigan, it’s time to hold your governor accountable. If you’re tired of being mocked and dismissed, Election Day is your chance to send a message. Maybe then Whitmer will finally understand that governing with a little respect for the people she serves isn’t such a bad idea after all. Until then, she’s just giving voters more reasons to make sure she’s left wondering what went wrong when those results roll in.
