Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Hits Dive Bar With Friends, Violates Her Own COVID-19 Restrictions

Do as I say, not as I do. Sadly, that's the approach some political "leaders" take to governing. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) is one who has repeatedly chosen that approach. Last month, she was caught taking a trip to Florida after blaming travel to and from the state for the recent COVID outbreak in Michigan. Now she's been caught again. On Sunday, a photo was leaked of Whitmer and several of her friends at a dive bar in East Lansing, violating her own coronavirus restrictions. Those restrictions were just set in place on May 15, so apparently they don't apply to her.

Here's a snippet from those restrictions: Yeah, Gretchen and her weekend crew didn't follow any of that. This was an incredibly hypocritical move, and she knows it. She acknowledged her mistake, but folks, we need to forgive her apparently. She just "didn't stop to think about it." "Throughout the pandemic, I've been committed to following public health protocols. Yesterday, I went with friends to a local restaurant. As more people arrived, the tables were pushed together. Because we were all vaccinated, we didn't stop to think about it," she said in a statement, via Breitbart News
