Gov. Whitmer should face penalties for COVID-19 hypocrisy: restaurant owner

A Michigan restaurant owner who was jailed and fined for violating COVID-19 restrictions said Tuesday that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer should face similar consequences for disobeying her own health department’s guidance too.

“I feel like all of us should be on the same page. If I have to face penalties which I went through … I think she should face the same penalties,” Marlena Pavlos-Hackney, who owns Marlena’s Bistro and Pizzeria, said on Fox News.

“We the people, we [are] all equal. It does not matter [that] because you’re the governor, we need to forgive you.”

The restaurateur spent four nights in jail and paid a $15,000 fine in February for violating the state’s COVID-19 restrictions, according to a report.

“Treat us with dignity and respect,” Pavlos-Hackney added. “We [are] all equal, we the people.”

Whitmer, a Democrat, was forced to apologize Sunday for violating the state’s COVID-19 restrictions, saying she made a “mistake” by crowding with 12 other patrons at a local pizzeria.

“Throughout the pandemic, I’ve been committed to following public health protocols,” Whitmer reportedly said in a statement.
