“Schuette-Wan Kenobi’s” Real Record More Dark Side Than Jedi

Latest News

There’s a new disturbance in the Force out in Michigan.
In a bizarre gubernatorial campaign kickoff, Attorney General Bill Schuette claimed to be Michigan’s Obi-Wan Kenobi.

“2018 won’t be easy,” an animated Schuette told reporters after his announcement. “You better have your strongest Jedi knight. I’m like Obi-Wan Kenobi. I’m our only hope.”

Schuette’s record – however – reads far more like a Sith Lord’s than a Jedi Knight. A member of the Jedi Order, he is not.
“Let’s just say we’d like to avoid any Imperial entanglements.”
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Went into exile from the Galactic Empire on Tatooine, teaching Luke Skywalker the ways of the Force.
Bill Schuette: Signed off on Governor Rick Snyder’s administration’s order switching Flint to a contaminated water supply, then stood idly by as the crisis spiraled out of control.
“You must do what you think is right, of course.”
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Sacrificed his own life to allow his compatriots to safely escape the Death Star.
Bill Schuette: Let the abuse of veterans be swept under the rug, while refusing to investigate deteriorating conditions at a veterans home. When veterans complained of the conditions, Schuette said they were “free to leave.”
These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.”
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Used Jedi mind trick to save C3PO and R2D2.
Schuette: Wasted taxpayer dollars in pursuit of political advancement, turning the Office of the Attorney General “into a lobby for partisan causes.”
“Schuette-Wan Kenobi would need to pull off a Jedi mind trick to change his record of standing up for special interests over Michigan families,” said DGA Communications Director Jared Leopold. “He may try to style himself as a new hope, but Michigan families and veterans know Bill Schuette is no Jedi Master. For Michiganders, this is not the candidate you are looking for.”
