A group of Catholics held a rosary rally outside the home of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Sunday after the Democrat sparked a backlash with a Doritos video that critics said mocked a sacred Christian rite.

The “Rosary Rally for Religious Respect” was organized by CatholicVote.

The rally comes in response to a controversial video on social media that showed Gov. Whitmer wearing a Harris-Walz campaign hat and feeding Doritos to a kneeling liberal podcaster named Liz Plank.

The video followed a TikTok trend where someone, acting sensually, is fed by another staring awkwardly into the camera while Nelly and Kelly Rowland’s “Dilemma” plays in the background.

The bizarre clip was intended to highlight the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which spent nearly $53 billion on efforts to bring semiconductor supply chains back to the US. But religious groups believed the clip was a mockery of the sacrament of Holy Communion.

The Democratic governor apologized in response to the comments and emphasized that the video was not intended to mock people of faith.

Whitmer told FOX 2 that in my more than 25 years of public service, “I would never do anything to denigrate anyone’s faith.”

“I have used my platform to stand up for people’s right to maintain and practice their personal religious beliefs,” Whitmer said.

One of the participants told The Lansing State Journal that she participated because of the governor’s “blasphemous and offensive video mocking the Holy Eucharist.”

“It is our most sacred sacrament,” she said. “So we came to pray. We came to pray for her, and we also pray by grace to pray for our Lord.”

CatholicVote’s national political director told Fox News Digital that Sunday’s meeting was prompted by “deep concern about recent actions undermining the dignity of the Eucharist and the rising tide of anti-Catholic sentiment promoted by some within the progressive left.”

“We find it deeply disturbing that our faith and its sacred beliefs are being so openly mocked. As Catholics, we believe in the power of prayer, especially for our nation’s leaders. Our meeting served as a call for the conversion of Governor Whitmer’s heart and mind. and urged her to recognize and respect our religious beliefs,” Church said. “We also hope this will remind our elected officials that Catholics vote.”

Republican state Rep. Josh Schriver of Oxford wrote a post on X promoting the “Rosary Rally for Religious Respect.”
