The Gateway Pundit reported Monday, April 19, that Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) was again exposed for double standards during a surge of the Chinese Communist virus in Michigan. She secretly traveled to Florida to visit her elderly father, but at the same time told Michiganders to stay home and not travel.
Whitmer’s spokeswoman, Tiffany Brown, confirmed on Monday that Whitmer took a “personal trip” to Florida last month during spring break “to assist her elderly father, who is battling a chronic illness. Brown added that Gov. Whitmer has left the state three times in the past six months, with the other two allegedly for official business in Washington.
Earlier, the media broke the story that Governor Whitmer’s top staffers secretly went on vacation to Florida and Alabama.
Ironically, Whitmer instead made a big deal in the media about the risks of traveling back and forth from Michigan to Florida. Every spring, Michiganders who spend the winter in Florida return to Michigan, plus people take spring trips, all of these things contribute to the spread of the virus,” she said during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “
Michigan House Appropriations Chairman Thomas Albert (R) said there are two sets of rules, “one for the governor and members of her administration and one for everyone else.”
Albert said, “I understand the desire to visit sick relatives and I want the governor’s family to be healthy, but I’ve also heard countless stories from sad Michigan people who wanted to visit sick family members in the midst of this pandemic but didn’t get to do so. I don’t understand how the governor can think it’s OK for her and members of her administration to travel outside the state while issuing advice to the rest of us to stay home.”
Michigan Republican spokesman Ted Goodman accused the Democratic governor, in a blatant display of hypocrisy, of insulting all Michiganders affected by the embargo and travel warnings by leaving Michigan himself while discouraging others from traveling.
