Gretchen Whitmer shut down the state. She closed churches she masked and mandatory vaccinated children. She told. Told small businesses that they. That they couldn't. That they couldn't do business. She locked up seniors into nursing homes, knowing they had Covid and kept those restrictions up long after everybody else had. I couldn't campaign. I couldn't go out and shake people's hands. I couldn't look them in the eye. I couldn't share my story. I couldn't listen to theirs. (41:31–41:39)
