In a story titled “Alabama convict criticizes Democrat politician in last words before being executed for killing woman,” Fox News reports that, in his final statement, 52 year-old convicted murderer Demetrius Frazier allegedly directed a bitter complaint at Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

“If you cannot stand up for the constitution of Michigan, how are you going to stand up for the US Constitution when you run for president? Detroit strong. I love everyone on death row. Let’s go,” said Frazier before he was nitrogen gassed to death, which Fox News asserts in their article as a knock on Whitmer for failing to prevent his execution. As you have already noticed, Frazier was executed in Alabama, the crime that condemned him being the 1991 rape and murder of 41 year-old Pauline Brown. The following year Frazier returned to his native Michigan where he murdered 14 year-old Crystal Kendrick during a rape attempt, for which he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life.

Then in 1993 Frazier was indicted for Brown’s murder, convicted, and sentenced to death, and even though he had been extradited to face trial in Alabama he was returned to Michigan to continue serving his life sentence – until 2011 when Republican then-Governor Rick Snyder had him sent back down south. In 2012 the Supreme Court turned down Frazier’s bid to die of old age in Michigan.

Fox News eventually mentions down in like the ninth paragraph that it was out of Whitmer’s hands and the “criticism” had fuck all to do with her, that it was all on her Republican predecessor who transferred Frazier to Alabama eight years before Whitmer took office, thus Frazier was demanding the impossible. That part came after Fox made sure to include he’d had “a final meal from Taco Bell that included burritos and a Mountain Dew soft drink” in their story about Whitmer being criticized.
