<p>Michigan Governor <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/gretchen-whitmer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gretchen Whitmer</a> (D) took some heat over the weekend for hosting a campaign event with America Federation of Teachers President <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/randi-weingarten/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Randi Weingarten</a> — and critics suggested that she was running on her record of lockdowns and school closures.</p>
<p>Weingarten, who defended the unions even as they kept kids out of school months longer than the science suggested was necessary, spoke on Whitmer&#8217;s behalf, arguing that the Michigan Governor — whose <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/i-need-to-survive-michigan-restaurant-bucks-whitmers-new-lockdown-opens-in-person-dining/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COVID lockdown policies</a> were among the most draconian in the nation — was a &#8220;problem solver&#8221; rather than a &#8220;problem maker.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;These elections come down to whose side we&#8217;re on,&#8221; Weingarten said. &#8220;And I want you to think of problem solvers versus problem makers. Who&#8217;s tackling the issues that keep families up at night? Who&#8217;s investing in schools? Who&#8217;s protecting democracy?&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;On the other, who&#8217;s stirring up fear, banning books, rolling back right, and gouging consumers at the pump while they make massive profits,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Big Oil is giving to Republican lawmakers who allow them to keep price gouging.&#8221;</p>
<p>Weingarten went on to declare Whitmer a &#8220;problem solver,&#8221; claiming that the only thing anyone knew about Republican challenger Tudor Dixon was that she was &#8220;besties&#8221; with former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.</p>

Yes we can. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AFTvotes?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AFTvotes</a> <a href="https://t.co/JDtFL4Qe9B">pic.twitter.com/JDtFL4Qe9B</a></p>

<p>&#8220;This race is too close,&#8221; Weingarten concluded, calling on the crowd to get out and vote.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wow Michigan Dems brought out Randi Weingarten to open for Gretchen Whitmer,&#8221; Matt Whitlock responded. &#8220;They are actually running on their record of lockdowns and historic learning loss.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Imagine how gigantic the teachers union campaign contributions have to be for these Dems to share a stage with the grim reaper of school closures,&#8221; Whitlock continued. &#8220;An entire generation of kids is suffering through learning loss and mental health challenges in part due to </span><span class="r-18u37iz">@rweingarten.&#8221;</span></p>

<p>USA Today columnist Ingrid Jacques agreed, adding, &#8220;If this doesn’t make you want to vote for Tudor Dixon, I don’t know what would. This is the same teachers union president who advocated and lobbied for keeping schools closed far longer than they needed to be. Baffling that Gov. Whitmer thinks the AFT will help her, but $ talks.&#8221;</p>
