Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer sparked disgust and anger on social media after giving a Dorito to a kneeling podcast host in a video that went viral online.
The Michigan governor participated in an interview with feminist podcaster Liz Plank, but also posted a short video of her feeding him Nacho Cheese Doritos while kneeling in front of the Michigan governor.
Plank executes a function called ‘Chip Chat’ where the hosts talk about their favorite snacks and talk about topics that interest them.
But the video of the chip delivery went too far for many Catholics, who expressed outrage because it seemed like a mockery of the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
Whitmer looks at the camera while wearing a camouflage-patterned Kamala Harris hat, after feeding a kneeling Plank a nacho cheese dorito, often described by Harris as her favorite snack.

It can only be described as a “mockery of Catholics and the sacrament of Holy Communion,” the CatholicVote organization said, adding “not to mention the disgusting pornographic insinuations.”
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.
“He has continued the Democrats’ hateful tradition of mocking Catholics and people of faith who do not support their left-wing agenda to start a culture of death.”
The familiar scene of a Catholic kneeling and receiving a host made of bread, believed to be the body of Christ, is a sacred ritual in the Catholic Church.
