The governor previously condemned chants of "death to America" from anti-Israel protesters at a Dearborn rally in Michigan last month after facing criticism for taking more than a week to do so despite the Biden administration condemning the "abhorrent and antisemitic remarks in the strongest terms" almost immediately.
"This hateful rhetoric is unacceptable, and does not represent Michigan or Dearborn," Whitmer’s office told Fox News Digital at the time. "The Dearborn community is full of hardworking, proud Americans. Our state is diverse, and we are proud of it."
