You will get caught. It might not be now, or two weeks from now, or many months later. But eventually, you’re going to get caught. How many government officials have told their people not to travel or do anything, but then were caught doing the opposite in full view of the public. Gov. Phil Murphy was called out for dining without a mask. Then-Gov. Gina Raimondo of Rhode Island told people to stay inside but attended a wine tasting. She’s now Biden’s commerce secretary. The mayor of Denver said don’t travel for Thanksgiving, only to later board a Mississippi-bound flight for, you guessed it, Thanksgiving. In Michigan, it would seem, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who gets off keeping her people inside due to COVID, decided to issue her lockdown decrees and then abscond to Florida, according to the Republican Governors Association.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer left the state more than a month ago to visit her elderly father who suffers from a chronic illness, a spokesperson confirmed on Monday after the trip was first reported by MIRS News.
“In the past six months she has left the state three times, once for the inauguration, once to assist her elderly father who is battling a chronic illness, and once to visit with Michigan’s National Guard troops.

Saturday’s attendance of 47,218 is the highest at any U.S. sporting event since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Yahoo! Sports. Capacity at Bryant-Denny Stadium was capped at 50%, or a little more than 50,000 fans. Alabama, which traditionally offers free admission to the event, charged $5 for tickets this year so it could control the number of people admitted and allow attendees to socially distance. It came within a few thousand tickets of selling out available seating. According to Yahoo, Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, is the lone large stadium allowing full-capacity crowds.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan Democrat who recently blamed travelers for new COVID-19 variants in her state, visited Florida more than a month ago, Fox News confirmed.
Tiffany Brown, a spokesperson for Whitmer, said the trip was not at taxpayers’ expense and the governor was not away for long, according to the report.
Whitmer visited her father who is fighting a chronic illness, Brown said. She pointed out that the governor is tested regularly for the virus and her father is vaccinated. The governor did not go on spring break, and she has not left the state in over a month, Brown said in a statement. In the past six months she has left the state three times, once for the inauguration, once to assist her elderly father who is battling chronic illness, and once to visit Michigan’s National Guard troops.
