LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s office says she traveled out of state more than a month ago to visit her elderly father, a snowbird who lives in Florida and has a chronic disease.
The disclosure Monday came weeks after the governor warned the public about spring break trips amid a surge in coronavirus cases.

The Governor of Michigan has blamed travelers for a growing number of coronavirus cases. On Sunday, Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) placed the blame on “snow birds” from Florida for the increasing number of coronavirus variant cases in the Great Lakes State.
In an attempt to stop the spread, Whitmer urged schools to go remote and businesses to have employees work from home for a week.
“This variant, the B117 variant, is what is growing so quickly in Michigan,” Whitmer claimed. “We have the second most — I think — after Florida. Michigan and Florida are not next to each other, but this is the time of the year that snow birds come home from Florida where people are going on spring break and all of these things can contribute to spread.”
Her statement came after she asked for grace when a top staffer took heat for a recent vacation in Florida. Additionally, the state’s health director, Elizabeth Hertel, traveled to Alabama recently despite Whitmer’s calls to avoid out-of-state travel.
What a hypocritical lying POS...
This woman needs to arrested and charged for the lockdowns that she clearly didn’t feel were justified.
Her pappy was safe in the hands of Florida governor DeSantis...
Notice that HER dear old dad was safe with Governor DeSantis...
In her comments about travel, did WHitler explain that if you are travelling to help family and friends with chronic illnesses, these are acceptable reasons to travel?
Or did she just clamp down on all the little people and give or explain no exceptions for travel?
We find these things out well after the fact, almost like they don’t want to draw attention to what she’s doing.
Weeotch needs to be in jail for the distress and destruction she has caused to her state.
Ah, the old B117. That sounds scary.
Lockdowns are for the little people...

Correction: Gov’s office, which sent the statement extensively quoted in this article after being specifically asked, in writing, about a trip by the Gov to Florida, now says it will not confirm that Florida is where she visited her father.”
LOL! Let the fun begin!
“Daddy, the majority of my Michigan constituents hate my guts. I don’t know what to do about it.
You think, maybe I should, like, throw all the Haters in jail for stressing me out? My Atty. Gen. says it could be done legally! That’s a fantasy I have.”
“Nazi” Nessel, the jackbooted marpet cuncher...
Good point about the "parsing"...
That’s the one. Gretchen’s most loyal pubic, I mean public servant.
A lot.
But, but, Joe Biden, current resident of the White house said, “Your governor in New York’s done one hell of a job. I think he’s the gold standard ...” Biden’s pretty much the expert on the Covid/Wuhan response. Heck, according to the press he is an expert on just about everything.
Heels Up Whitmer?
“Heck, according to the press he is an expert”
Ex = has been
Spurt = a drip under pressure.
Ankles behind her ears...
