The Spin

Democratic narrative

In an effort to protect its bottom line and shareholders, DTE irresponsibly joined the revolt against Michigan's COVID measures, undermining the state's safety protocols and calling attention to the need to regulate the monopoly utility's political spending. However, despite the opposition, Gov. Whitmer's COVID policies saved thousands of lives.

Guardian

Republican narrative

The funder behind the anti-lockdown movement is completely irrelevant given the fact Gov. Whitmer's policies never actually worked. Michigan had higher COVID death rates than its Midwestern counterparts despite having implemented far harsher restrictions. And lest we forget about her nursing home debacle, which led to one of the nation's worst death rates among the elderly.
