Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in a statement that her heart was breaking for the community. “Violence anywhere especially in a place of worship, is unacceptable,” she said.

Oh, is that so?

Governor Gretchen Whitmer pointedly declined to use the word “genocide” on a Sunday morning news show to describe the war in Gaza and the massive Palestinian civilian death toll as Israel tries to eliminate Hamas. … Michigan has one of the nation’s largest Arab-American and Muslim-American populations.

“I’m watching this very closely and doing what I can to support all of these communities here in Michigan,” Whitmer said.

Huh.

So I guess it is acceptable, sometimes.
