Some University of Michigan regents call on Weiser to resign following ‘three witches,’ assassination comments
MLive, March 26, 2021
ANN ARBOR, MI - Some members of the University of Michigan Board of Regents are calling on fellow regent Ron Weiser to resign after comments he made as the head of the state’s Republican Party.
The calls for his resignation came following comments made by Weiser during an event for the North Oakland Republic Club Thursday, March 26, when Weiser called Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Attorney Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson the “three witches” and said the GOP needs to make sure “they are ready for the burning at the stake.” Weiser’s comments were captured in a video shared on social media.
Snip...
Regent Mark Bernstein said Weiser’s comments about Whitmer, Nessel and Benson were sexist and “dangerous, disgusting and damaging” to the state and UM in his call for Weiser to resign.
Bernstein’s statement is included below:
“His reference to Governor Whitmer, Attorney General Nessel and Secretary of State Benson as ‘the three witches’ is blatantly sexist. Suggesting that the work of a political party should enable ‘burning’ these three women ‘at the stake’ is even worse. His reference to the ‘assassination’ of members of Congress in the context of political rhetoric should have no place in any society. And Regent Weiser’s partisan effort to restrict our students’ right to vote damages democracy.
