Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) shaded former President Donald Trump on Tuesdays episode of Watch What Happens Live as she revealed what her tagline would be if she were ever in the cast of one of the Real Housewives franchises.
Some people call me that woman from Michigan; I call it getting shit done, Whitmer told host Andy Cohen.
The tagline is a reference to the time Trump called Whitmer the woman in Michigan after Whitmer called out the federal government for its lack of help during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
She has no idea whats going on, Trump said of Whitmer during a White House briefing in March 2020. And all she does is say, Oh, its the federal governments fault. And weve taken great care of Michigan.
He continued: I say, Mike, dont call the governor of Washington; youre wasting your time with him. Dont call the woman in Michigan. It doesnt make any difference what happens.
Soon after Trumps remarks, Whitmer went on The Daily Show wearing a bedazzled shirt that read that woman from Michigan.
During Augusts Democratic National Convention , Whitmer again referenced the insult.
Donald Trump called me that woman from Michigan as an insult, Whitmer said. Being a woman from Michigan is a badge of honor. Like women across America, we just G.S.D. Get stuff done.
During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Whitmer also shaded far-right activist Laura Loomer , when Whitmer pretended to not know who Loomer is. Loomer joined Trump at a 9/11 memorial ceremony, despite continuing to push conspiracies about the terror attacks, and on the former presidents plane before his debate earlier this month.
