(Detroit Free Press) “Those women from Michigan” — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Attorney General Dana Nessel — are among Ms. Magazine's Top Feminists of 2020.

Invoking the phrase President Donald Trump used in an attack on Whitmer, one which some Michiganders flipped on its head in a sense of pride, Ms. Magazine honored the trio for their unapologetic responses to the outgoing commander-in-chief this year.

“Michigan officials Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Attorney General Dana Nessel found themselves at the center of an unwanted spotlight this year, after President Trump attacked 'those women from Michigan' after they had the audacity to ask the federal government for the medical supplies they needed to address the COVID-19 pandemic,” the feminist news magazine said in its description of the leaders near the top of the list. ...............(more)

4. I don't think a woman (or many men TBH) in US politics has shown more grit and toughness than Whitmer

She made decisions based on science and facts, not politics. She put her life (literally) on the line to do the right thing.

I think you have to look to FDR (WWII, New Deal) or Johnson (Civil Rights Act 1964) to see a politician who has steadfastly held their ground in the face of vicious opposition.

5. Kudos to them

The best response is when I think the Attorney General of that group told the Orange insecure child “ We’re not your type “.

6. It's going to break Trump's heart he didn't even make the top 10.

There's going to be a spanking in the White House tonight.
