Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer suggested that President Biden should talk about abortion more so people know he is a president who is “fighting” for the right to an abortion.

Asked by CBS News “Face the Nation” anchor Margaret Brennan if Biden, who is of Catholic faith, needs to talk about abortion more, Whitmer said, “I think it would be good if he did.”

“I know that one tenet of his belief system is that women and only women at — with their families and — and health care professionals are the ones who know what decision is right for them,” said Whitmer, co-chair for Biden’s reelection campaign. “And that he is fighting and going to continue to fight to make sure that that is squarely the ability … [of] an American woman to make that decision.”

Brennan then asked if Biden needs to be the messenger on that more, to which Whitmer said, “I don’t think it would hurt.”

    Biden is anti-abortion, at least softly. He’s not speaking up about it for that exact reason. This is exactly what you get when you elect a centrist instead of a progressive, and if you think this is bad just wait until you hear how badly he’s shitting the bed on climate change. History will not remember this man fondly, even if it was donald trump who lowered the standards to literal dogshit and convinced the DNC to overlook bernie’s massive movement for a establishment “democratic” politician who used to be a segragationist and who had trouble staying awake during the debates. I’m voting green party needless to say but riots are probably the better answer at this point
