LANSING, Mich. (Great Lakes News) – Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) addressed Michigan’s management of nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Congresswoman’s comments on Wednesday come as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) continues to face scrutiny for her policy decisions surrounding nursing homes. Tlaib said policy decisions and changes should have been addressed “quickly.”

According to Breitbart News, Tlaib made her remarks during a Zoom call for an event called “MI Sisters and Friends: Conversations That Count!” alongside Reps. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI). A speaker asked, “Thinking about nursing homes and all that happened with nursing homes, what changes do they see happening with nursing homes in light of COVID?”

“I mean, I think, I think we, we, I think we all recognize we could’ve, something should’ve been done quick— quickly in regards to addressing them. I think we all can agree to that,” Tlaib responded. She added, “Of course, you know, I’m not here to blame.”

Whitmer was one of a handful of governors who instituted a policy when coronavirus began spreading last year that required nursing homes and long-term care facilities to accept patients from hospitals who could be COVID-positive.
