Michigan’s Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer spoke out this week to defend her decision to attend Joe Biden’s inauguration last Wednesday. She went so far as to claim that she “can’t stand people that have one rule for others, and a different one for themselves.”
WOOD TV host Rick Albin pointed out that many felt it was hypocritical for Whitmer to travel to Washington D.C. for the inauguration when she has been urging people to not travel or gather amidst COVID-19. Whitmer, however, disagreed.
“Anyone who would have watched would have seen that we were spaced out, we were outside, and we were masked up,” she said. “So that is how we can live and enjoy some important aspects to life and stay safe. I have been following the same directives I have asked everyone else to. I can’t stand those people that have one rule for others and a different one for themselves.”
You might recall that back in May, Whitmer’s husband Marc Mallory was accused of trying to use his connection with her to get his boat back in the water faster after his wife’s lockdown closed that industry, which led to a backup.
“This morning, I was out working when the office called me, there was a gentleman on hold who wanted his boat in the water before the weekend,” company owner Tad Dowker said at the time. “Being Memorial weekend and the fact that we started working three weeks late means there is no chance this is going to happen.”
“Well our office personnel had explained this to the man and he replied, ‘I am the husband to the governor, will this make a difference?’” he added.

Whitmer, however, appeared to have forgotten all this in her latest interview.
“I have abided by these precautions but also recognize as the governor of a state — an important state — that played an important role in this inauguration having been invited and having made a decision very close to one when I had to come out here I know that this is a moment that is really important for our state,” she said.
Whitmer went on to say that she had to go to the inauguration to foster a close relationship with Joe Biden and his administration.
“This was something it was an honor to be [at], and I followed all the protocols and I encourage people to do so, as well,” she said.

You and I, too, Gretchen, we both hate people who have rules for others different than for ourselves. You must have a lot of hate for Gov Newsome, Gov. Cuomo, President Biden, and the Clintons. Of course, this explains your self-loathing.
And oh so accurately stated! I wonder if we could stuff Pelosi in "Heels Up's" purse if she goes with Joe?
Good one there...a little "modified" Jefferson Airplane.
Funny how you aren't this @ll@L with the antifa/Burn Loot Murder crowd there, Saul Alinsky. If you were, you'd find far more there than what you claim to be finding on the right.
"And take that illegitimate VP Heels Up with him!" There, better yet.
"And take that illegitimate VP Harris with him!" There, improved it.
Well, then, "There were these two left-wing nuns that, by mistake, walked into a right-wing bar......"
Does her husband know? You know, the guy that goes to their "cabin", when everyone else is in lock-down...
And the Gretch who stole Christmas is a democrat? What a pile of B.S. she laid out. But like all democrat politicians, she is a major hypocrite.
