A Michigan lawmaker who credits President Donald Trump for her recovery from COVID-19 is facing censure from her party for praising the Republican commander-in-chief.

Karen Whitsett, a Democratic state representative, said she may not have been prescribed hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, if Trump hadn’t repeatedly touted it during press briefings. Whitsett met with Trump at the White House on April 14 and thanked him in person.
