The Wall Street Journal just ran a column that argued Trump should be disqualified due to Covid lockdowns.
If that’s true, how did Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer just get reelected? She is the queen of Covid lockdowns.
Seriously, what is this?

From Justin Hart of the Wall Street Journal:
Covid Lockdowns Disqualify Trump in 2024
March, 29, 2020, is a day that should live in infamy. The national mitigation plan against Covid-19, “15 days to stop the spread,” was about to expire. In the Rose Garden, President Trump declared that lockdowns would continue for another 30 days. I tweeted: “President Trump just lost the election.”
When Mr. Trump announced his 2024 campaign Tuesday, he didn’t apologize for the lockdowns or even mention them. I supported him in 2016, and during his tenure he did much to dredge the political swamps, but his decision to approve and extend drastic Covid interventions should disqualify him for a second term.
When the United States became aware of the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump had no choice but to follow the recommendations of his scientific advisers.

The country knows a lot more now than we did in March of 2020.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who enacted some of the most harsh Covid policies in the entire country was just reelected. Why don’t these standards apply to her?

If this is disqualifying for Trump, why does Whitmer get a pass?
Democrats: It’s different when WE do it.
