Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, always eager to make headlines, just crossed a line that many Catholics—and conservatives across America—will never forget. A video circulating on social media shows Whitmer feeding a Dorito to a kneeling podcast host, Liz Plank, while wearing a Harris/Walz campaign hat. Whitmer thought this little stunt was cute, but to those of us who hold our faith dear, it was a slap in the face. How could she think this was appropriate? This is yet another example of the tone-deaf, self-absorbed behavior we’ve come to expect from Democrats.
Let’s be clear what’s happening in this video.
Gov. Whitmer of Michigan is pretending to give communion to an leftist podcaster on her knees, using a Dorito as the Eucharist while wearing a Harris-Walz hat.

Mocking the Eucharist: Disrespect at Its Worst
The Eucharist is a sacred sacrament in Catholicism—it’s not a political prop or a punchline for social media clout. But here we have Whitmer, smirking for the camera as she feeds a Dorito to Plank in a scene that many Catholics recognized immediately as a mockery of the sacrament of Holy Communion. It’s an act that shows her utter disregard for the faith and the beliefs of millions.
For those unfamiliar, the Eucharist represents the body of Christ, a profound symbol of our faith. The imagery of kneeling to receive a host is a pivotal moment in Catholic Mass, symbolizing humility and reverence. Whitmer’s parody with a Dorito is not just some light-hearted video—it’s a disgraceful display of ignorance and arrogance, using a religious ritual as a gimmick.
Whitmer’s Disregard for Catholics—A Pattern, Not a One-Off
This isn’t the first time Whitmer has been accused of showing disdain for religious groups. Throughout her political career, she’s pandered to the far-left, shunning traditional values and leaning into divisive tactics to win over the “woke” crowd. But this time, she went too far. This video comes across as a deliberate insult, an intentional slight aimed at the very people she claims to serve as governor.
Even CatholicVote, an advocacy group for Catholics, was quick to condemn this act, demanding an apology from Whitmer. Brian Burch, the group’s president, did not mince words: “Catholics demand an immediate apology for Gretchen Whitmer’s offensive display that mocks what is most sacred to Catholics.” And he’s absolutely right. This was not some harmless joke. It’s a continuation of the Democrats’ broader pattern of mocking those who hold religious values—people they can’t control or sway with their so-called “progressive” agenda.
A Distraction from Real Issues—The Democrat Playbook
Let’s call this what it is—a distraction. Whitmer’s team even tried to pass off this disgraceful act as part of a TikTok trend. They think we’re all too stupid to see through this shameless excuse. Sure, they want us to believe this has “absolutely nothing to do with Catholicism,” but anyone watching the video knows better. Just like every other time the Democrats have been caught, they try to play it off as a joke or a trend.
Why is Whitmer playing these games instead of addressing real issues facing Michigan? The state has seen economic struggles, challenges in education, and ongoing debates about safety and crime, yet she finds time to pull this stunt? It’s classic Democratic deflection—ignore the real issues, throw a flashy video on social media, and hope people forget what actually matters.
No Respect for Faithful Americans—Where’s the Accountability?
What’s most outrageous about this situation is that Whitmer thinks she can get away with it. The Democrats have shown time and time again that they have zero respect for people of faith. They see religious beliefs as something to scoff at, something that doesn’t align with their agenda. They think they can attack or ridicule people who don’t bend to their views, without facing any consequences.
And where is the mainstream media on this? As usual, they’re nowhere to be found. If this were a Republican governor mocking another religion, you can bet it would be front-page news for weeks. But because it’s Whitmer—one of the left’s darlings—they brush it off or, worse, defend it as harmless fun.
Democrats Like Whitmer Are Alienating Catholics
This isn’t just about a single video—it’s about the larger message it sends. The Democrats are so far removed from the values that most Americans hold dear, especially those of faith. With each passing day, it becomes more apparent that they don’t care about alienating religious voters, as long as they can appease the loud voices of their progressive base.
In 2024, Democrats like Whitmer will try to sell Kamala Harris as the candidate who’s tough enough to lead, who can stand up to global bullies like Vladimir Putin and Chinese leadership. But how can anyone trust a party that treats the beliefs of millions with such casual contempt? How can they lead with integrity when they so readily demean what is sacred to many?
Final Thoughts: Enough Is Enough
It’s time to hold Gretchen Whitmer and her fellow Democrats accountable for their actions. We deserve better than leaders who disrespect our beliefs and then try to pass it off as some TikTok trend. It’s clear that Whitmer doesn’t understand or care about the people she governs, especially those who hold their faith close to their hearts. Her actions are beneath the dignity of her office and show a lack of respect for the very people she claims to represent.
