<p>Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer refused to back up her attorney general during an interview over the weekend when she was asked about the attorney general prosecuting far-left anti-Semitic protesters at the University of Michigan.</p>
<p>The Democrat governor made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; when asked by Jake Tapper about Rep. Rashida Tlaib&#8217;s (D-MI) anti-Semitic attacks on Attorney General Dana Nessel for prosecuting the students.</p>
<p>The 11 individuals were charged with a variety of crimes, including attempted ethnic intimidation, assaulting or obstructing a police officer, and more.</p>
<p>Tlaib responded by claiming that Nessel, who is Jewish, charged the students because she was biased in favor of Israel. &#8220;It seems that the attorney general decided, if the issue was Palestine, she was going to treat it differently, and that alone speaks volumes about possible biases within the agency she runs&#8221; Tlaib claimed.</p>
<p>Nessel responded: &#8220;Rashida Tlaib should not use my religion to imply I cannot perform my job fairly as attorney general. It&#8217;s antisemitic and wrong.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whitmer refused to condemn Tlaib&#8217;s anti-Semitic remarks against Nessel and refused to take sides on the matter at all, saying that she only wants to &#8220;make sure that both these communities are protected and respected under the law in Michigan.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tapper pressed Whitmer again, noting that Tlaib&#8217;s accusation was serious and again gave Whitmer the opportunity to back up her attorney general.</p>
<p>&#8220;Like I said, Jake, I&#8217;m not going to get in the middle of this argument that they&#8217;re having,&#8221; Whitmer responded.</p>
