Michigan Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Republican challenger Tudor Dixon dueled Tuesday night in the second and final debate before voters cast their ballots in less than two weeks. With the latest poll showing likely voters evening split between the candidates, two missteps by the incumbent may have handed Dixon the election.
Whitmer Puts Sexually Explicit Books Over Kids
- For weeks Whitmer avoided stating her position on whether sexually explicit books should be accessible in Michigan's taxpayer-funded public school libraries.
- During her debate with Dixon, Whitmer pretended the issue was about making "sure all children feel accepted and safe."
- Whitmer's team has a perfect closing argument for parents concerned by the sexualization of children in schools: Tudor stands with the moms and dads who want to return to the basics of reading, writing, and math, while Whitmer wants smut in schools.
Whitmer Lies About Proposition 3
- Whitmer unwittingly made parental consent an issue by lying about Proposition 3.
- During Tuesday's debate, Whitmer told voters that "Prop 3 is absolutely necessary to preserve the rights we've had for 49 years under Roe v. Wade," adding that "parental rights and consent will still be effective," and claiming that "the other side will say all sorts of wild-eye things that are not true."
- Dixon countered that Prop 3 is "not even close to Roe" and that "we know that Proposal 3 does remove parental consent."
