The post seemed to not sit well with some people, A man commented:
So sad you had to waste your time with that waste of human flash and also virtue signal with the masks.
Another woman said:
Well you just lost a viewer!
While some other people came to Janice's defense saying:
Embarrassed and disappointed I couldn’t see the ignorance of people. God please forgive them for their lack of knowledge.
Another woman commented:
I am not a fan of hers by any stretch, but I do think it’s an honor when you meet an elected official. I always hold respect for the office. You look great, Janice.
Janice took all the comments in stride and replied to the comment's saying.
Hey everyone- didn't mean to cause a big controversy with this picture. It's not everyday the sitting Governor drops by the news station. POLITICS ASIDE-- whether Republican or Democrat, it is an honor to meet the person leading the great state of Michigan.
I agree with Janice and feel for all of the men and women working in the news industry. It seems like no matter what they do someone is going to have a problem with it.
Get To Know Big Joe
