As Twitchy reported, it was just last week when Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer defended one of her top aides who traveled to Alabama for spring break by saying it’s not her business what her top aides do on their off time.
On Monday, MIRS reported that Whitmer herself made a trip out of state about a month ago. It was a personal trip to visit “her elderly father who is battling a chronic illness.” A source told MIRS that Whitmer’s father has a home in Florida, which is under the purview of Gov. Ron “DeathSantis.”
Again, I can't get a straight answer from Whitmer.
Did she take a recent trip to Florida?
If so, whose plane did she ride?
Her people wouldn't answer.
Then Bingo! Here it is.That's twice in two weeks her people pulled this stunt. The information's out. That's the important thing. pic.twitter.com/amqEGvG6UR— Charlie LeDuff (@Charlieleduff) April 19, 2021
I've just now received the official statement. I leave it to you to interpret. pic.twitter.com/xI6IvKOJST

And now she’s blaming outbreak in Michigan on Florida! Said visitors there brought it back to Michigan

Wasn’t she just blaming the surge in Michigan on snowbirds and spring breakers that went to Florida? What a disaster she is.

@karol, for your list. If true, this could be the most egregious one yet given that Whitmer blamed Florida for Michigan's infections.

Wait wait wait…didn’t she just say the outbreak in Michigan is to blame because of people vacationing to Florida? ??♀️

She had to run into the safety of DeSantis

She went to Florida to learn how to do it right!

None of the people telling you to worry about Covid are worried about Covid.

Her father matters, yours doesn't. Got it plebeians??

Hahahahaha …WOW, incredible. She went to visit her father! But don’t you dare travel to visit your parents.

That's different because shut up

Shocking she’s a complete hypocrite! Another leftist telling the peasants to stay home while she takes a vacation to a state that is open for business.

So if it’s a “personal trip”, you won’t bring back COVID, do I have this right? We have a failed governor.

So that’s the real reason she didn’t reprimand her two idiot lieutenants who also traveled down south for spring break. It wasn’t a right wing conspiracy pushed by @BreitbartNews, but rather a good ol’ coverup.

If you are allowing your governor to define your level of freedom you are already a slave.

But it’s different because her dad has been vaccinated and she has never tested positive for COVID.

Update:
Whitmer’s office isn’t saying she didn’t travel to Florida:
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. https://t.co/QUEyboRgeU
