On a recent Saturday Night Live, Cecily Strong portrayed Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer where she naturally took aim at President Trump:
“Trump refers to me as ‘that woman from Michigan,’” she said. “But I’m not offended because I am proud to be from Michigan. And 'that woman' is also what Trump calls his wife.” https://t.co/GHou9h2BOt

The "SNL" Whitmer had some advice for people protesting stay-at-home safety regulations. https://t.co/qACjRdh0Of

Whitmer, who has claimed she’s not actively seeking national attention in order to lobby for the VP nod, appreciated Strong’s impression so much that a gift basket was in order:
Included in the care package were six packs of Oberon, Official Hazy IPA, Two Hearted and Light Hearted Ale, all popular selections from @BellsBrewery, along with a sign, decals and other swag. https://t.co/lbFdwGsEnK

But don’t anybody dare suggest Whitmer’s enjoying the attention because of any further political aspirations.
@GovWhitmer good thing she didnt need a child car seat or seeds. https://t.co/p48n35YmJ6

Right?
SNL actors get beer. Her constituents can’t get garden seeds or child car seats because Hollywood is the Democrat base. https://t.co/L3DcCPQ0hz

We’re also guessing SNL won’t dare touch Whitmer’s glaring double standard:
