By Allan Lengel and Violet Ikonomova Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said Monday she won t open an investigation into Gov. Whitmer s handling of Covid in Michigan nursing homes, rejecting a request by eight GOP state senators.

Jim Runestad of White Lake. The senators signed a Feb. 23 letter raising concerns about Whitmer s Covid policies for nursing homes, the accuracy of Covid reporting data, compliance with federal Centers for Disease Control guidelines and the state Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The contrast in the response from Trump and his minions to That Woman from Michigan and Cuomo (a measure of Trump s begrudging respect is reflected in the fact that the Nicknamer in Chief hasn’t slapped the New York governor with a belittling sobriquet) is evidence of ongoing misogyny toward women in high places.
