Over the weekend, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who is also a Biden 2024 campaign co-chair, was asked about Hunter Biden's trial where he's been charged with three federal gun law felonies.
Whitmer's response wasn't to say nobody's above the law or to say "we take gun laws seriously and those who break them should pay a price." Instead, she claimed to have lost connection with the host:

Hey, the same thing would have happened if Whitmer had been asked about the issue of abortion, right? Wait, maybe not.
Watch this with the sound off. You can see where she's being told to end it. They think we're idiots. 🙄

It was fairly obvious:

If we could see what was going on behind the scenes, we'd probably have seen Whitmer's aide doing this:
By the way, conveniently losing connection after being asked awkward questions seems to happen to Whitmer quite often:
It’s not the first time Gretchen Whitmer has mysteriously had “technical issues” to avoid answering tough questions.

She didn’t want to answer for her COVID lockdown policies either: https://t.co/fIRO9dcBbG pic.twitter.com/aumWAaO4UT
