A bizarre video featuring Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer feeding a Dorito to podcaster Liz Plank has gone viral, sparking widespread criticism and confusion online. The eight-second clip, intended to promote the CHIPS Act, shows Plank kneeling as Whitmer, in a Harris/Walz cap, feeds her the snack, drawing comparisons to the Holy Eucharist and accusations of mockery towards Catholic rituals. Many commentators described the video as strange and unprofessional, with some asserting it undermines the dignity of Whitmer's office. Plank explained that the video is part of her new series 'Chip Chat', which aims to combine casual conversation with chip consumption. Critics argue that such antics erode public trust in politicians and reflect poorly on their commitment to governance. The incident highlights the growing trend of political figures engaging in unconventional media strategies, often leading to backlash.
