Three years after COVID struck Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer now admits that many of her early lockdown rules, in retrospect, “don’t make a lot of sense.”
“We had to make some decisions, that in retrospect, don’t make a lot of sense,” Whitmer said in a CNN interview clip posted by the Twitter account @Breaking911.
When COVID struck, Whitmer shuttered much of the state’s economy. Her rules deemed which careers were “essential” and ordered “nonessential” workers to stay home.
Whitmer banned stores larger than 50,000 square feet from selling paint and home-improvement supplies, as well as advertising for “nonessential” goods. Even poperating a motorboat could bring criminal charges, as

Whitmer and her team of idiots were having a blast restricting anything they could think of until the Michigan legislature finally shut her down. She knew at the time that she was out of control. She didn’t care. It was fun while it lasted.

That greasy-faced crazy-eyed Uber Karen sure is a load, isn't she?

Business owners were fined (and in at least one case arrested) for simply trying to make a living while she issued ridiculous rules under the guise of "safety". Then she was caught on more than one occasion violating her own orders. There's no "in hindsight". She knew at the time that none of it would make a difference; otherwise she would have obeyed her own edicts.

Whitmer loved that power she felt ruining people’s lives. She proved to herself how important she is, when in reality, she’s nothing but a tyrant.

Too stupid to know you don’t confess to lying, even if you are bulletproof.

But did you have a good time traveling to Florida (or wherever) while other people were forbidden to travel.
And did you beloved husband get the 'right of way' to get his boat/yacht in the water in the Spring of 2020 when other people were not permitted to put their boats in the water?

Sad to say #9, au contraire. She "somehow" was re-elected in Michigan. Nauseating, but true. By hook or by crook, the tyrant continues her reign.

# 12, if you understand the mindset of a typical Dem, nothing is surprising. Look at N.Y and PA.

Biden (Trump too), and lots of Governors made a lot of stupid rules during Covid. Whitmer (fortunately for Michigan) had a Republican State Legislature and Senate during Covid to help keep her in check. Both houses are now controlled by Democrats. Thank God all of Michigan government was not controlled by Democrats during Covid. Of course Drs. Fauci, Brix, the liars at the CDC, the WHO, and the media helped to spread misinformation and implement unnecessary, draconian, stupid rules that controlled the population but protected nobody. They knowingly gave inaccurate information that prolonged the shutdowns of schools and businesses.

Perhaps her Policy Consultants sense the pendullum is swinging back. And BTW, she was re-elected. I just can't understand that one. Those Wolverines are getting what they deserve.
