A bizarre video featuring Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer(D) mocking the Catholic faith went viral on social media Thursday, offending Catholics and appalling just about everyone else.

The short clip shows Whitmer placing a Doritos chip onto the tongue of kneeling of lefty influencer Liz Plank, in an apparent attempt to mimic the Catholic sacrament of Holy Communion.

As the lefty podcaster consumed the Dorito, Whitmer, clad in a camouflage Harris-Walz hat, stared at the camera with a weird, deadpan expression.

“This video is abhorrent, and we are calling on @gretchenwhitmer to issue an apology for this offensive act,” the Catholic League posted on X. The Catholic League is a religious rights group founded by Bill Donahue in 1973.

“Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer insulted Catholics nationwide when she intentionally ridiculed the Eucharist in a video,”  Donohue wrote in a statement.

“There is no way to understand this stunt other than as an expression of vintage anti-Catholic bigotry. Whitmer’s team, and her allies in the media, are trying to distort what she did,” he said.

The disturbing clip, which was posted on Plank’s Instagram account, was an apparent reenactment of a TikTok meme in which people are seen feeding each other snacks and then staring awkwardly into the camera.

Helen Hare, a spokeswoman for Whitmer, claimed critiques of the video are an attempt to distract from Democrat investments in the economy.

“The governor’s social media is well known for infusing her communications with pop culture,” Hare said in a statement. “This popular trend has been used by countless people, including Billie Eilish, Kylie Jenner, and Stephen Colbert, and the fact that people are paying attention to a video promoting President Biden’s CHIPS Act proves it’s working.”

But as Donahue noted, none of the people in the other videos were kneeling.

“What Whitmer did was to deride Holy Communion,” the Catholic League president said. “There is no wiggle room for her to deny the obvious.”

After the controversial clip went viral, Plank, who leads an influencer group called “Hotties For Harris,” attempted to “shoe-horn the vid into a statement on industrial policy,” according to the New York Post.

Plank edited the post to promote the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which spent billions in funding to boost the semiconductor industry.

“If he won’t, Gretchen Whitmer will. Chips aren’t just delicious, the CHIPS Act is a game-changer for U.S. tech and manufacturing, boosting domestic production of semiconductors to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers! Donald Trump would put that at risk,” Plank captioned the Instagram video.

The post set social media on fire with consternation, confusion and outrage.

“Many Catholics are going to see this as mocking the communion rail,” noted Tim Graham, executive editor of NewsBusters,   on X. “Except Catholics don’t make it look like sensual.”

”Let’s be clear what’s happening in this video,” Trump adviser Tim Murtaugh stressed on X. “Gov. Whitmer of Michigan is pretending to give communion to an leftist podcaster on her knees, using a Dorito as the Eucharist while wearing a Harris-Walz hat.”

He added: “Do they want ZERO Catholic votes for Harris?”

“How else can this be interpreted other than mockery of Catholics and the sacrament of Holy Communion, not to mention the distasteful pornographic innuendo?” posted Catholic Vote. “Gretchen Whitmer is only the latest example of the gross anti-Catholic bigotry festering inside the Democratic Party.”

EWTN host Raymond Arroyo quipped that the stunt looked like the work of a “Wiccan Doritos cult.”

“Whatever Gov. Whitmer imagined she was doing here was wrong on nearly every level,” he posted on X.

“Lampooning sacraments is not likely to win over Catholic voters… Or any other voting block. Or is there a Wiccan Doritos cult that I’m unaware of?” Arroyo added.

Conservative commentator Tammy Bruce said, “I’m not even Catholic and I was disgusted.” Bruce went on to note that Whitmer and Plank went on to joke about “post term abortions.”

“We are pulling out all the stops on this one,” said Donahue. “In addition to our big list of email subscribers, the Catholic League staff will send this news release to every Catholic parish in Michigan. We will blanket the Michigan media. We will contact every member of the Michigan legislature. We will also feature her stunt on the front page of the November issue of our monthly journal, Catalyst.”
