Finally, a DemocRAT with common sense who quits their insanity. -- 'I’m not a co-signer of crazy,' Karen Whitsett said of Democratic priorities ---Michigan state Rep. Karen Whitsett is stepping away from political office, saying her Christian faith no longer aligns with today's Democratic Party after years of clashes over abortion, transgender issues and party leadership. ---- In an interview with Fox News Digital, Whitsett said she could no longer support the Democratic Party. Over the past four years, she found herself increasingly at odds with party leaders for pushing policies she felt were incompatible with her beliefs. ---- "I don’t understand how ‘Christian’ and ‘Bible’ go together [with] ‘Democratic Party,’" she added. "What I’ve seen over these last four years is nothing that I’ve ever seen before, nothing that I ever thought would happen before." ---- "For me, it is impossible to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ while remaining a member of the Democratic Party as it exists today. I cannot reconcile that platform with Scripture," Whitsett also recently told Click on Detroit. ---- She said Democratic leadership increasingly left no room for dissent, even on bills she believed would benefit her constituents. "They don’t want you to disagree with anything," Whitsett said. "There are numerous things that can be in bills, and they’ll say, no, don’t do it. I’m not going back to my district to say I didn’t vote for something that was beneficial for them. So I had no problem with standing up and taking the vote and I would be the only one, and I didn’t care. ---- Whitsett met with President Donald Trump at the White House in April 2020 to discuss her experience recovering from COVID-19. She credited the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine for aiding her recovery and publicly thanked Trump, leading to a formal censure by the 13th Congressional District Democratic Party Organization. Trump offered his support for Whitsett at the time and even invited her to join the Republican Party in a post on X. Whitsett told Fox News Digital that Trump remained in contact with her after the controversy and said his support helped her weather political attacks from within her own party. "The president is pretty awesome about it because he would always call and check on me," she said. "I talked to him numerous times, and he followed me, followed my campaign, always checked on how things were in the community." ---- Read here - https://www.foxnews.com/media/michigan-democrat-quits-politics-says-abortion-lgtbq-agenda-betrayed-her-faith
