Michigan Gov. Whitmer's coronavirus lockdown policies too strict for her own husband?
Fox News ^ | 5/26/20

Michigan Gov. Whitmer in Memorial Day coronavirus lockdown controversy over husband's reported boat request Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer faced backlash from Republican lawmakers after a reported request from her husband to get the family's boat out on the water before Memorial Day weekend -- far from their home in Lansing.

Whitmer, a Democrat, famously has imposed one of the strictest lockdowns in the country, sparking frequent protests. What's more, she's told people not living in Northern Michigan to stay away from vacation spots there during the holiday weekend.

In Facebook posts no longer visible to the public, NorthShore Dock LLC and its owner, Tad Dowker, focused on what Dowker said was a request last week by Whitmer's husband, Marc Mallory. The posts caught the attention of Republican state lawmakers, who said the governor's family may not have wanted to follow the guidance she's issued for the rest of the state.

**SNIP**

Whitmer spokeswoman Tiffany Brown refused to comment on the matter, saying the administration wouldn't address "every rumor that is spread online," The Detroit News reported.

Ruh roh. HeilHalfWit and her non-denial denial have made the Daily Mail...

Michigan Gov. Whitmer is accused of lockdown hypocrisy after her 'husband tried to ready their boat for Memorial weekend' 150 miles from the state capital - after she told public not to travel there

Does this make them official Covidiots...?

BTW, be sure to read the comments.

Reminiscent when JF’nKerry was running and pushing ‘pedal cars’ while running around in a pool of GOVT OWNED SUV’s.
While he was pushing plug in cars a fleet of SUVs was in his driveway(s) and he said they belonged to his wife and he basically had nothing to say or do about it.

Then again we know who has the pants(money) in THAT family.

New York real estate heiress and hotelier Leona Helmsley famously said, “Taxes are for little people.” She exemplified the distain that “the elite” hold for the average man. In some cities it is/was? common that the political bosses paid no real-estate taxes. Congressmen get to use insider trading, but it is illegal for anyone else to do so. Government gets to make rules for thee, but not for “me.”

If a Republican had done what the governor did in this case, it would be on CNN for weeks with hourly updates. Will any of this harm Democrats in this election year? My exposure to liberals says no. At least, not with liberals. Every election brakes down pretty much like this. The right and the left get an average of 40% of the vote each. Every election is for slightly over half of the remaining 20%. I think that much of that critical vote will shift away from the Democrats. On average, I think the Dems have set themselves up to lose some of their governorships and the House. Let’s hope so.

The ruling elite doesn’t obey the laws it makes for the common herd, which it scorns, and lives high off the hog from the earnings of the ordinary folk.

The Dem rulers are like the Soviet Politburo. Even while ruling as communists and spouting communist propaganda, every single one of them had a dacha.

Wittmer was just telling other people to stay away so she didn’t have to deal with holiday traffic.

What’s the purpose of unlimited power if you still have to get stuck in holiday traffic?
