Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer sparked disgust and anger on social media after she fed a Dorito to a kneeling podcaster in a video that went viral online.
The Michigan governor participated in an interview with feminist podcaster Liz Plank, but also published a short video of her feeding Nacho cheese Doritos to her as she knelt in front of the Michigan governor.
Plank runs a feature called ‘Chip Chat,’ where hosts talk about their favorite snacks and talk about issues they care about.
But the chip delivery video went too far for many Catholics, who expressed their outrage as it appeared to be a mockery of the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
Whitmer gazes at the camera while wearing a camo designed Kamala Harris hat, after feeding a kneeling Plank a Nacho Cheese Dorito, frequently described by Harris as her favorite snack.

It can only be described as a ‘mockery of Catholics and the sacrament of Holy Communion’ said the organization CatholicVote, adding ‘not to mention the distasteful pornographic innuendo?’
The group’s president reacted by demanding an apology from Whitmer in a statement to DailyMail.com.
‘Catholics demand an immediate apology for Gretchen Whitmer’s offensive display that mocks what is most sacred to Catholics,’ said Brian Burch.
‘She has continued the Democrats’ hateful tradition of mocking Catholics and people of faith who will not support their left-wing agenda to usher in a culture of death.’
The familiar scene of a Catholic kneeing and receiving a host made of bread, believed to be the body of Christ, is a sacred ritual in the Catholic Church.

‘Democrat Gov Gretchen Whitmer blasphemes the Eucharist, feeding a Dorito to a leftist podcaster as if it’s Holy Communion,’ wrote conservative podcaster Liz Wheeler on X. ‘Wearing a Kamala hat.’
‘More decadent-empire behavior from Democrats, this time via Governor Nero of Michigan,’ wrote Daily Wire podcaster Michael Knowles.
‘Am I mistaken, or is this mocking Catholic communion? I can’t imagine any politician being that stupid … but then again, I can’t imagine any other interpretation,’ wrote conservative blogger Ed Morrissey.
Others on social media found the video bizarre.
‘What is happening here. What is Gretchen doing. I have so many questions,’ wrote Libs of TikTok on X.
‘Remember when Gretchen Whitmer called JD Vance weird?’ asked X user Bonchie, a writer for the conservative website RedState.
