Michigan GOP Lawmakers Demand Investigation Into Whitmer Over Nursing Homes: ‘Too Many Similarities’ With New York

Republican lawmakers in Michigan are calling for an investigation into Gov. Gretchen Whitmer over her handling of long-term care facilities during the pandemic.

Eight Republican state senators sent letters to acting Attorney General Monty Wilkinson and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel on Wednesday, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation. The lawmakers say that Whitmer’s approach to nursing homes is similar to that of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, currently at the center of a public firestorm over his handling of the pandemic and allegations he hid data to escape federal prosecution.
