Michigan GOP state Sen. Tom Barrett claimed Tuesday that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and her staff "duped" him "into a cover-up" after the governor's office "adamantly denied" that Whitmer's husband had tried to use her position to convince a dock company to quickly get the family's boat on the water ahead of the Memorial Day weekend amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Barrett, in an interview with Fox News, said that over the weekend he initially heard a story on Facebook about someone purportedly calling NorthShore Dock LLC, a company that reportedly stores the family's boat, and mentioning that he is married to Whitmer in an effort to get the boat on the water soon. (The governor's husband is Marc Mallory.) He says that Whitmer's office denied to him that the story was true and pressured him into taking down his own post on the matter, but that he later determined the story was accurate.
Whitmer spokeswoman Tiffany Brown in an earlier comment to Fox News did not deny that Mallory invoked his relationship with the governor in the alleged call, though did not confirm it, either.

I guess that's what they consider fair and balanced.
Corruption and privilege and hubris and didain defines her governorship.
And worse.
If she doesn’t deny it she’s confirmed it.
Liberals and conservatives both hate Fox now, but it’s still easily No 1 in the ratings. What’s up with that?
From that poorly written first sentence I can’t tell what the hell happened. It reads like CNN.
She came on just while ago and read a script that said her husband was attempting to make a bad joke and failed badly ha ha ha ha...she said.
CNN used to be number 1 and FOX was the upstart that everyone laughed at. FOX is on its way out. It will take time but they are getting more corporate and left leaning every month.
I like OANN myself.
Yes, we’ve got to stay home and be safe, cause then I’ve got the whole lake to myself!!!
I do like Gutfeld and some others on The Five. Also Tucker - especially when Mark Steyn is on - they are good together.
While Whitmer is a twit nasty woman, any article with ten “alleges” isn’t worth the read.
