The TikTok referred to legislation that Whitmer had just signed - the "tampon tax" was a real thing Dems wanted to talk about. Dems take hits in lots of races for "inclusive language" that sounds weird to other people. https://t.co/wPV6ZJqos2. — PolitiTweet.org

A November 2021 video of Gretchen Whitmer discussing the end of the "tampon tax" that day went around again today, because she says "people with periods" and not "women." But the Fox coverage falsely suggests she said it *today* as a closing message. https://t.co/SoOajQLT9s https://t.co/IighGJoETl — PolitiTweet.org

But the Fox piece is just wrong... it says that Whitmer gave a "brief address to TikTok on Monday" and that it's her "final midterm pitch." It's a 2021 video resurfaced by conservatives who see Dems as vulnerable for embracing trans issues. https://t.co/KDmoRuP3rf — PolitiTweet.org
