A photo posted on social media shows Michigan’s Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer at a restaurant over the weekend, maskless with 12-other people gathered around her table.
Whitmer’s May 15th order, says no more than six people can be seated together and groups of patrons must be six feet apart.
One of Whitmer’s friends posted the image of the gathering that took place on Saturday night onto social media.
A reporter with Breitbart spotted it and broke the story.
Whitmer’s top staffer, Tricia Foster, is also seen in the photo.
After she was caught, Whitmer put out an utterly ridiculous statement saying:
“throughout the pandemic, I’ve been committed to following public health protocols.Yesterday, I went with friends to a local restaurant. As more people arrived, the tables were pushed together. Because we were all vaccinated, we didn't stop to think about it.In retrospect, I should have thought about it. I am human. I made a mistake, and I apologize."
Breitbart’s Kyle Olson broke the story, he writes:
“The group shot of 13 individuals appeared to violate the governor’s restaurant capacity order issued May 15 on “gathering limitations for entertainment establishments, recreational establishments, and food service establishments”:
b. Gatherings are prohibited at food service establishments, whether indoor or outdoor, unless:
Consumption of food or beverages is permitted only in a designated dining area where patrons are seated, groups of patrons are separated by at least 6 feet, no more than 6 patrons are seated together (at a table, booth, or group of fixed seats), and groups of patrons do not intermingle...
“Last week Whitmer refused to immediately end her ridiculous restrictions, like a maximum of 6 patrons per table for indoor dining,” Tori Sachs, executive director of Michigan Freedom Fund, told Breitbart News.
“Now Whitmer has once again completely disregarded her own rules. Whitmer orders rules she and her staff don’t follow themselves while Michiganders and businesses suffer. Whitmer must end her restrictions immediately.”
Michigan Freedom Fund called on Whitmer to immediately lift all orders this week, a recommendation the governor ignored.”
This isn’t the first hypocritical move by her.
Back in March, Whiter locked down the state and told everyone not to travel.Then she hopped a private jet to Florida to visit her father.She tried to keep that trip a secret until some info from that trip was leaked in April.
