Michigan Gov. Whitmer Apologizes After Photograph Showed Her Breaking Her Own Rules

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer over the weekend said she โ€œmade a mistakeโ€ when she broke her own rules while gathering with a dozen others in a crowded restaurant on Saturday.

โ€œThroughout the pandemic, Iโ€™ve been committed to following public health protocols,โ€ Whitmer, a Democrat, said in a statement to news outlets.

โ€œYesterday, I went with friends to a local restaurant. As more people arrived, the tables were pushed together. Because we were all vaccinated, we didnโ€™t stop to think about it. In retrospect, I should have thought about it. I am human. I made a mistake, and I apologize.โ€

The photograph showing Whitmer with the group, none of whom wore masks, was posted on Facebook before being obtained and published by Breitbart News.

The group was eating at the Landshark in East Lansing.

An order Whitmer issued earlier this month states that gatherings at restaurants are prohibited unless theyโ€™re comprised of six or fewer people.

โ€œConsumption 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,โ€ the order states.

Tori Sachs, executive director of Michigan Freedom Fund, a freedom-oriented nonprofit, called for the governor to immediately end restrictions on restaurants in light of what happened.

โ€œWill @GovWhitmer & @MichiganHHS show us the science that proves itโ€™s safe for Whitmer to drink at a bar with over 6 people at her table but not safe or allowed for the rest of us? This is ridiculous, Whitmer must end the restrictions now!โ€ Sachs wrote in a tweet.

The governor last week said she will likely end most mandates issued during the COVID-19 pandemic on July 1.
