<p>Michigan Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer was caught violating her state-mandated coronavirus restrictions over the weekend while she attended an event at a bar with a large number of people.</p>
<p>The photo was taken at an East Lansing bar-restaurant, The Landshark Bar &amp; Grill, on Saturday, and showed Whitmer sitting in close proximity with at least a dozen other people. The group had pushed several tables together to form one large table.</p>
<p class="gnt_ar_b_p">&#8220;Michigan restaurants and bars are still subject to capacity limits and social distancing requirements,&#8221; The Detroit Free Press <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2021/05/23/whitmer-violating-social-distancing-rules-landshark-bar-grill/5234473001/">reported</a>. &#8220;Current orders require six people or fewer at tables and distances of six feet between tables.&#8221;</p>
<p>The photo was posted to social media by one of the people who attended the event but was later deleted. Breitbart News was the first to <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/05/23/exclusive-photo-gretchen-whitmer-violates-own-coronavirus-orders-at-dive-bar/">report</a> the story.</p>
<p>In a statement, Whitmer admitted that she made a mistake and apologized:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Throughout the pandemic, I’ve been committed to following public health protocols. Yesterday, I went with friends to a local restaurant. As more people arrived, the tables were pushed together. Because we were all vaccinated, we didn’t stop to think about it. In retrospect, I should have thought about it. I am human. I made a mistake, and I apologize.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Ted Goodman, Communications Director for the Michigan Republican Party, slammed Whitmer over the incident, saying that businesses had suffered under her pandemic restrictions.</p>
<p>&#8220;Gov. Whitmer admitted that she broke her own COVID rules and is asking for leniency but what about the countless small businesses and mom-and-pop shops fined, and in some cases shutdown [sic], by Whitmer?&#8221; Goodman asked. &#8220;For Gov. Whitmer it&#8217;s rules for thee, but not for me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whitmer has repeatedly come under fire over her handling of the coronavirus pandemic in Michigan and over some of her personal actions.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michigan-democrat-governor-gretchen-whitmer-caught-allegedly-making-false-statements-about-travels-report">reported</a> last month:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Michigan Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer was allegedly caught making false statements in a recent interview where she claimed that she was “here in town the whole time” despite having recently traveled to Florida.</em></p>
<p><em>Whitmer made the claims during a podcast appearance with MIRS News host Kyle Melinn on April 12, a week before news broke that Whitmer had traveled to Florida in March. Fox News went as far as to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/michigan-gretchen-whitmer-florida-travel-lie-in-town-whole-time">say</a> that Whiter had “lied” about her travels.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Earlier this month, the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee voted to subpoena the Whitmer administration&#8217;s nursing home records &#8220;in an effort to get a clearer picture of how Whitmer’s policies impacted the COVID-19 death rate in Michigan adult and long-term care facilities,&#8221; The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michigan-senate-votes-to-subpoena-whitmer-admin-covid-19-nursing-home-policy-docs">reported</a>. &#8220;The Whitmer administration reportedly had a policy similar to that of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who required that nursing and other adult and long-term care facilities accept patients recovering from COVID-19, even if those patients remained contagious or still tested positive for the virus.&#8221;</p>
