Catholics hold 'Rosary Rally' outside Gretchen Whitmer’s house after Doritos video sparks backlash
SUMMARY
Catholics gathered for a "Rosary Rally for Religious Respect" outside Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s home on Sunday following backlash from a controversial Doritos video featuring the governor. The video, which shows Whitmer wearing a Harris-Walz campaign hat and feeding Doritos to podcaster Liz Plank, was criticized for allegedly mocking the Holy Eucharist, a sacred rite in Catholicism. Organized by CatholicVote, the rally drew around 100 participants who recited the rosary in response to what they termed Whitmer's "blasphemous and offensive video." One participant emphasized, "It’s our most sacred sacrament... We came to pray for her." In reaction to the controversy, Whitmer apologized, asserting that the video was not intended to mock anyone's faith. She stated, "In over 25 years of public service, I would never do something to denigrate someone’s faith."
