Michigan Democrat Quits Politics, Blasts Party’s Anti-Christian Agenda
by David Lindfield
Michigan State Rep. Karen Whitsett has announced that she will step away from political office and no longer support the Democratic Party.
The Democrat lawmaker went scorched earth in her announcement, slamming the Democratic Party’s radical anti-Christian agenda.
Whitsett, who represents parts of Detroit, said her Christian faith is incompatible with the party’s current platform after years of internal clashes over key issues.
She confirmed she will not seek reelection and described her decision as a “spiritual decision” following growing disagreements with party leadership on abortion, radical gender policies, and other matters.
Christian Faith No Longer Aligns with Democratic Party
“I don’t understand how ‘Christian’ and ‘Bible’ go together [with] ‘Democratic Party,’” Whitsett said.
“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,” she added.
“I cannot reconcile that platform with Scripture.
“I don’t have a heaven or hell to put anyone in. Only God does.
“But I do have God’s unwavering Word to stand on, and I can no longer compromise it to fit a party platform or to please people,” Whitsett said.
Whitsett said she repeatedly warned party leaders about pushing policies she could not support.
