Whitmer Apologizes For Doritos Vid In Which Critics Say She Was Mocking Holy Communion​

Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer apologized for a social media video in which she wore a Harris-Walz campaign hat and fed Doritos to a kneeling podcast host in what some critics said made a mockery of a sacred Christian rite.
The Democrat was seen in the clip taking a Doritos chip out of a bag and placing it into the mouth of a kneeling liberal podcaster Liz Plank, before the video panned to the governor wearing a camouflage Harris-Walz hat.
While Whitmer said the video was intended to spotlight the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act that allocated nearly $53 billion towards efforts to bring semiconductor supply chains back to the U.S., religious leaders saw it as a spoof of the sacrament of Holy Communion.
The video was made as part of a viral TikTok trend where one person feeds another person, who is acting sexually, with the song “Dilemma” by Nelly and Kelly Rowland playing in the background before the first person stares uncomfortably into the camera.
Former Trump adviser Tim Murtaugh, for example, posted, “Let’s be clear what’s happening in this video. Gov. Whitmer of Michigan is pretending to give communion to an leftist podcaster on her knees, using a Dorito as the Eucharist while wearing a Harris-Walz hat. Do they want ZERO Catholic votes for Harris?”
Following the backlash, Whitmer apologized for the video and emphasized that the video was not meant to mock people of faith.
“Over 25 years in public service, I would never do something to denigrate someone’s faith,” the governor said in a statement to Fox 2. “I’ve used my platform to stand up for people’s right to hold and practice their personal religious beliefs.” Read the full story at FoxNews.com

The pathetic thing is, I wouldn't put it past you to fail to recognize that she apologized, even though you pasted it into the thread name field. Then again, that is a fairly alien concept for Trump supporters.

Suddenly Deplorables can't take a joke.

They accused us of this all the time previously.

Christianity is in most respects a highly sophisticated religion -- at least compared to the Greco-Roman paganism it replaced.

But there is something deeply primitive about the notion that you can grow closer to God by taking Him inside your body.

Communion cannot be spoofed -- it is a thing too ridiculous to begin with.

Yes, don’t let a snack food take away from the fact that you’re basically playing a cannibal by eating the “body and blood” of your imaginary SkyDaddy.
