Ahead of his much-publicized presidential visit to a repurposed Michigan Ford Motor plant on Thursday, the state’s Democratic attorney general posted an open letter to President Trump insisting that he wear a facemask and reminding him that it is “currently the law of this State” to do so. When President Trump defied her instructions, Attorney General Dana Nessel appeared on CNN to declare that she is “ashamed” that he is the President of the United States and accuse Trump of not caring about Michiganders’ “safety.” Nessel also suggested that Ford might be punished for allowing the president to take off his mask.
The dustup between Nessel and Trump began with the Democratic AG announcing to the nation Wednesday that she had written an open letter to the president informing him that while she was choosing to “not prevent [him] from touring Ford’s plant,” he must “respect the great efforts of the men and women at Ford – and across this State – by wearing a facial covering.”
