Gretchen Whitmer Took Detroit Businessmen’s Plane to Florida: ‘You Can’t Tell a Governor No’
Breitbart ^ | 05/06/2021 | Kyle Olson

Posted on 05/06/2021 10:33:24 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) took a private jet to Florida in March, violating the spirit of her orders for everyone else not to travel.

Deadline Detroit reported Whitmer “asked a group of wealthy Detroit businessmen to provide a private plane they share” so she could travel to Florida. She later said it was so she could visit her “ailing” father.

The next set of questions should be...

Did she pay to use the plane out of her personal expenses or did the taxpayers of Michigan pay for it...

If no one paid for the plane did she grant any favors to the business people for it’s use....

She got it for free to be paid for by favorable treatment by said businessmen. Stand procedure for crooked politicians

The Dominion machines will be the judge of that.

They've automated the vote in the city of DeToilette.

Interesting how this story is a fighting retreat by the Democrat Michigan Politburo - another fact comes out, another lie to rebut it - until the new lie gets exposed again.

Notice that her worshippers in the Democrat Media never have a "next set of questions"...

Only for Trump supporters.

A bribe is a bribe whether it's cash, Bitcoin, jobs for family members, or use of someone's jet.

In this case, she specifically traveled on a private jet to avoid airports and travelers that SHE illegally placed restrictions on.

When she circumvented HER OWN illegal lockdowns, she made the plaintiffs' case that they were unnecessary. She needs to be sued into oblivion before being thrown in prison.

Right there is the best example of who the dems are.. who the left is.. who the media are. Selfish, always hunting and accepting money and favors.. controlling all below them.. laws don’t apply to them.. and dirty as mud!

There are quote marks around the term “ailing” father.
I guess some don’t think he’s really all that sick.
She definitely sees herself as one of the elite.

Isn’t this the same state that elected Mitt Romney?

‘You Can't Tell a Governor No’

Been telling her no for a year.

Locate backbone.

Say no.

It is simple. Not easy. But simple.

No.

That would be Massachusetts.

George Romney, his dad was elected Governor of Michigan in 1963.

I believe this was called a “bribe”, back when we were a nation with “laws”.

This is has that same odor....
