Gov. Whitmer Avoids Taking Sides in Tlaib-Nessel Antisemitism Dispute

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer declines to comment on whether Rep. Rashida Tlaib's criticism of Attorney General Dana Nessel was antisemitic.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer refrained from addressing the antisemitism accusation against Rep. Rashida Tlaib by AG Dana Nessel.
Tlaib criticized Nessel for allegedly biasing charges against pro-Palestinian protesters, calling them 'shameful.'
Nessel responded by labeling Tlaib's remarks as antisemitic, asserting her Jewish faith does not impact her professional duties.
Whitmer emphasized her role in ensuring the safety and respect of all communities in Michigan without taking a stance on the dispute.
The controversy arises amid a politically charged environment, with Whitmer also commenting on the tight upcoming election and Trump's debate decisions.
